JOSAQ: Development and Delphi-Vignette evaluation of a craniofacial-focused screening tool for obstructive sleep apnoea in oral and maxillofacial surgery
Jain A
Undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) presents risks in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), yet tools such as STOP-Bang often underperform in non-obese patients with craniofacial anomalies. This study aimed to develop and preliminarily assess the Jain's Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Questionnaire (JOSAQ), a craniofacial-focused screening tool tailored for OMFS practice.
Magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with sleep bruxism: A cross-sectional study of TMJ morphology

Condylar morphological measurements and differences between idiopathic condylar resorption patients and normal people: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Luo Z, Cao LM, Yin M, Xu M and Cheng B
Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a rare temporomandibular joint disease characterized by progressive condylar degeneration with an unknown etiology. A comprehensive quantitative analysis of the morphological differences in the condyle between ICR patients and normal individuals is crucial, yet limited by small sample sizes in existing literature.
