“…The therapeutic approach to sleep bruxism at present is oriented toward palliating, albeit partially, the effect of sleep bruxism and preventing and treating its pathological effect on the stomatognathic apparatus. 2 The great influence of emotional factors 26 must not be forgotten, and the dentist must always opt for a non-invasive multidisciplinary treatment that involves pediatricians, psychologists, pediatric dentists and otorhinolaryngologists.…”

Association of infantile bruxism and the terminal relationships of the primary second molars Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between infantile bruxism and the terminal relationships of the primary second molars. A total of 937 pre-school children (both genders), aged from 2 to 6 years, from municipal schools in São Paulo were evaluated. In this study, a questionnaire considering the bruxism habit and the presence of headaches and/or restless sleep was answered by the parents/guardians. A clinical exam of occlusion in the anteroposterior direction (vertical plane -VP, mesial step -MS and distal step -DS) was performed by the examiners in the school environment. Student's t test, Fisher's test and a logistic regression test were applied for the statistical analysis at a significance level of 5%. The prevalence of the bruxism habit was 29.3% among the total sample. Because there was no significant difference between the sides evaluated, the left side was taken as the standard. Among those children with bruxism, 25.7% presented a mesial step terminal relationship at the primary second molars, 29.1% had DS, and 30.2% had VP. Regarding the association of the parafunctional habit with the type of terminal relationship, no significant results were found. Children who slept restlessly or suffered from headaches were verified to show a higher chance of expressing the habit (OR = 2.4 and 1.6, respectively). The prevalence of bruxism in the studied sample was 29.3%, and its association with the primary second molars' terminal relationship was not statistically significant.

“…It is known that the occlusion is an etiological factor of bruxism 20 , although its removal does not completely eliminate the habit. In our case, there has been no occlusal interference, and the use of appliance is aimed to promote changes in muscle activity and to stop the habit, preventing damage to periodontal structures and minimizing the adverse effects of prolonged overcharging [19][20][21][22][25][26][27] .…”

RESUMOEste trabalho objetiva relatar o caso clínico de um paciente do sexo masculino, nove anos de idade, que compareceu a Clínica da Dor de uma instituição de ensino superior com queixa principal de cefaléia e apertamento dentário em vigília. Ao exame clínico, observou-se facetas de desgaste dentário e transpasse horizontal acentuado. Não foram observadas alterações articulares e/ou musculares. A terapêutica adotada foi à confecção de placa miorrelaxante em resina acrílica termoplastificável com ajustes oclusais em cêntrica realizados a cada quinze dias de forma não prejudicar o crescimento ósseo e a erupção dos dentes permanentes. Após um mês de tratamento o paciente apresentou remissão da dor e foi orientado a reduzir o tempo de uso da placa miorrelaxante. O paciente mantém-se em acompanhamento odontológico e psicológico.Termos de indexação: Bruxismo. Criança. Terapêutica.

“…While the wearing of an appliance could reduce the extent of tooth wear and myofascial pain, the management of stress and treatment of anxiety is important in reducing the incidence of TMD symptoms (myofascial pain and TMJ sensitivity) and frequency of bruxism (De Laat et al, 2003;Kalamir et al, 2006;Morishige et al, 2006;Restrepo et al, 2001), once the presence of anatomo-morphological factors have been ruled out.…”

Introduction: Bruxism is an oral parafunctional habit involving clenching and grinding of the teeth that occurs mainly unconsciously, diurnally and nocturnally. It is considered an important contributory factor in the aetiology of myofascial pain (MFP) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The aetiology of bruxism is considered to be multifactorial, involving physiological and psychological factors. Statement of the problem: Do subthreshold symptoms of anxiety have an effect on bruxing behaviour? Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the subthreshold symptoms (subtle, prodromal, atypical and subclinical symptoms of which the severity precludes diagnosis as a disorder) of anxiety and bruxism in a sample of subjects using a spectrum model. Method: Firstly, a self report screening measure consisting of the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory (SSTAI); the Kessler-10 (K-10); demographic and bruxism criteria were used to determine levels of anxiety, stress and bruxism on a continuum. Secondly, in order to determine a bruxism score, a standardized clinical examination; intra-oral photographs and dental casts were used in the study. Thirdly, the diagnosis of bruxism according to specified criteria was performed.Results: Forty one percent (n = 12) of the sample of 29 subjects was diagnosed as bruxers. A possible relation between subthreshold symptoms of anxiety, stress and bruxism was observed in the results. In approximately half of the subjects with higher than average anxiety and stress scores, bruxism behaviour was found. Clinical significance: The dentist could play a role in recognizing that a patient may be experiencing stress or anxiety, expressed through bruxing behaviour and refer the patient for therapy or counseling. The treatment of bruxism could be complimented by therapy or counseling which focuses on addressing the subthreshold symptoms of anxiety. Conclusions: An understanding of v the psychological factors involved in the aetiology of bruxism could encourage a more holistic approach to the treatment of bruxism.
