“…There is no method as gold standard to diagnose bruxism. Questionnaire item, clinical examination, and electromyographic and polysomnographic techniques are available in bruxism diagnosis . However, the most widely used methods for diagnosing bruxism are patients' (his or her partner's) reporting and/or the examination of teeth wear.…”

ADHD, bruxism and psychiatric disorders: does bruxism increase the chance of a comorbid psychiatric disorder in children with ADHD and their parents?

There is an association between bruxism and ADHD. No published data on psychiatric comorbidities in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children with bruxism were found. There is no satisfying treatment method for children with bruxism. If we understand its comorbidities well, a better treatment method could come out. This study was conducted to compare the frequency of comorbid psychiatric disorders in the parents and their ADHD children with and without teeth grinding. It was hypothesized that there is no association between bruxism and prevalence of comorbid psychiatric disorders in children with ADHD and their parental psychopathology. Eighty-nine ADHD children without teeth grinding were compared with 32 ADHD children with teeth grinding. Their parental psychiatric disorders were also compared. Structured interviews were used to diagnose comorbid psychiatric disorders. The demographic characteristics of the children and their parents were not different between the groups. The only psychiatric disorder in children, which was associated with the groups was oppositional defiant disorder. The rate of conduct disorder, tic disorder, major depressive disorder, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, enuresis, and obsessive compulsive disorder were not different between the two groups of children. The rate of major depression was more in the mothers of children with teeth grinding than those without such children. These finding were not reported before. ADHD children with teeth grinding have a high prevalence of oppositional defiant disorder. Lack of association between anxiety disorder and presence of teeth grinding might not support the idea that anxiety is associated with teeth grinding. The association of ODD and teeth girding might be a clue about etiology of bruxism. Perhaps, this clue can probably lead to the development of a more satisfying treatment. With consideration of this clue, further studies should survey if there is any association between ODD and sleep micro-arousals.

“…The marked characteristics of bruxism during sleep in the masticatory system are defined as repetitive or sustained jaw muscle contractions with tooth grinding ( Jennum & Sjol, 1992). Recently, since the evidence of bruxism is often used as a critical parameter in the investigations of craniomandibular disorders, several investigators have developed measuring systems for bruxism by monitoring electromyographic activities (EMG) with/without other physiologic responses such as EEG, ECG ( Rugh & Solberg, 1975; Kondo & Clark, 1991; Okeson et al ., 1994 ; Gallo & Palla, 1995; Rivera‐Morales & McCall, 1995). Particularly in the past trials for observation of bruxing events by EMG measurement, mainly recording of total EMG activity throughout the night has been carried out ( Rugh & Solberg, 1975) and bruxing patterns such as clenching or grinding were determined based on EMG behaviour ( Robinson et al ., 1969 ).…”

The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between the mandibular position with tooth contacts and jaw-closing muscle activity during sleep using electromyography and newly devised equipment for detecting tooth contacts and also to confirm the validity of this system. Five males volunteered for this study and three of them reported their bruxing during sleep. Occurrences of tooth contacts at eccentric mandibular positions in addition to the intercuspal position during sleep were detected using micro photo sensors and sensor targets prepared for the individuals. Electromyographic activities (EMG) from right and left masseter and anterior temporal muscles were also recorded. Results of the polygraphic recordings demonstrated that the mandibular positions during bruxism could be distinguished clearly whether it's in the right or left position, or has no lateral deviation, and further, that bruxing events could be categorized based on mandibular position pattern. The relationship between the mandibular position and muscle activity could be evaluated using this system. The study suggested the validity of the system for measuring nocturnal bruxing events.
