Abstract
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by severe hyposalivation and mucosal fragility, conditions that significantly complicate prosthetic rehabilitation. Reduced salivary flow compromises denture retention, increases mucosal trauma, and predisposes patients to infections such as oral candidiasis, limiting the success of [...] Read more.
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by severe hyposalivation and mucosal fragility, conditions that significantly complicate prosthetic rehabilitation. Reduced salivary flow compromises denture retention, increases mucosal trauma, and predisposes patients to infections such as oral candidiasis, limiting the success of conventional tissue-supported prostheses. This work summarizes current evidence on prosthetic management strategies in SS, highlighting the role of optimized biomaterials, digital manufacturing technologies, and implant-supported solutions. Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary care, adjunctive pharmacological management of xerostomia, and long-term maintenance protocols to improve function, comfort, and quality of life in this complex patient population.

Abstract
Bruxism is increasingly recognized as a psychosomatic behavior influenced by stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, which generates occlusal forces of non-physiological magnitude, potentially compromising the stability of dental implants. This narrative review examines the causal pathway linking psychological factors, bruxism, and implant complications. [...] Read more.
Bruxism is increasingly recognized as a psychosomatic behavior influenced by stress, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, which generates occlusal forces of non-physiological magnitude, potentially compromising the stability of dental implants. This narrative review examines the causal pathway linking psychological factors, bruxism, and implant complications. The literature from PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane (2000–2025) was analyzed. Evidence consistently associates psychosocial stressors with increased mechanical complications, while biological outcomes remain heterogeneous. Digital occlusal analysis, finite element modeling, and AI-based monitoring show promise for early overload detection. An interdisciplinary model integrating dentistry, psychology, and sleep medicine is proposed to optimize implant outcomes and guide future research. Full article
