Bruxism Management: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Check for updates ed with its presence, which may or may not be etiological; However, in adult patients, possible causal factors have been reported such as: occlusal forces, emotional causes or those generated by the central nervous system [4]; psychological problems such as stress and anxiety at all ages; In addition, SB in children is associated with respiratory problems, physiological dental wear, caries, malocclusions and use of pacifiers. About the frequency, according to the study by Rodrigues, et al. [5] the prevalence of bruxism in children ranges from 3.5% to 46%, while the study by Manfredini, et al. [6] shows that the prevalence of bruxism in adults ranges from 8% to 31.4%; without reporting differences between gender or age in the SB, and a slight predominance of the AB in women [3]. In an umbrella review, Melo, et al. [7] reported the prevalence of bruxism in adults and children according to the type of bruxism diagnosed; concluding that in adults AB occurs from 22% to 30%, and SB occurs between 10% to 13%, evidencing a decrease at older age and in children or adolescents the SB in a range from 3% to 49% [6,7]. Treatment for bruxism is suggested to be multidisciplinary, for both children and adults. Dental treatment includes some intraoral devices, which aim to protect teeth and restorations from possible wear and tear that may be generated as a result of parafunctional activity [8]; Treatment with physical therapy consists of performing exercises of the masticatory muscles and they should be performed without exerting excessive inten

A Case Report of Bruxism and Its Management with The Help of Occlusal Splints.

“…Thus any interventions should be carried out carefully. 12 Chisini L et al 13 advise psychological therapy, physical therapy, and occlusal plates; however, it is vital to have extensive control and periodic controls if this treatment is used. Gholampour S 14 analyzed occlusal splint therapy in patients with bruxism; the maxilla, mandible, and teeth of 37 patients and 36 control subjects were generated as three-dimensional models using invivo image data.…”

Bruxismo en niños panorama actual: revisión de la literatura

“…al (2018 en sus respectivas revisiones afirman que el tratamiento dental del bruxismo implica el uso de aparatos oclusales durante el sueño para proteger los dientes contra la abrasión patológica (Bulanda et al, 2021;Kuhn et al, 2018;Poojary et al, 2018). Mientras tanto Luis Gabriel (2020) y Camoin et al (2017) propusieron la fisioterapia para mejorar la organización y coordinación de los movimientos corporales, sin embargo, fue analizado solo por unos pocos estudios, por lo que su impacto real en el bruxismo sigue sin estar claro (Camoin et al, 2017;Luis Gabriel et al, 2020), la terapia psicológica, se aplica para cambiar hábitos indeseables y reducir el estrés para llevar a un estilo de vida más saludable (Camoin et al, 2017). En 2021 Ierardo et al implementó la terapia farmacológica para reducir el estrés y la ansiedad, mejorando la calidad y cantidad del sueño, mientras que el tratamiento quirúrgico se utiliza para eliminar la obstrucción de las vías respiratorias (Ierardo et al, 2021).…”

Evaluation of Abfraction Lesions Restored with Three Dental Materials: A Comparative Study

“…Augmented action of the masticatory muscles (which can develop high biting forces of 400-1100 N) can determine the appearance of occlusal overloads and abfractions [23]. The therapy for occlusal overloads should include the use of intraoral devices (occlusal splints, thermoformed mouthguards) to protect the teeth and restorations from possibly excessive forces [24,25].…”
