This systematic review protocol investigates the link between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and bruxism. It aims to clarify the association between these conditions through rigorous research methods.
Area of Science:
- Neurodevelopmental disorders
- Oral health behaviors
Background:
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presents with inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity.
- Bruxism involves repetitive teeth grinding and clenching, linked to psychological factors like stress and anxiety.
- Existing research suggests potential associations between ADHD and bruxism.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and synthesize evidence on the association between ADHD and bruxism.
- To enhance transparency and understanding of systematic review methodologies in this research area.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive search across six databases and gray literature (Google Scholar, ProQuest).
- Inclusion of observational studies comparing individuals with and without ADHD regarding bruxism presence.
- Two-phase study selection, risk of bias assessment using JBI tools, and narrative synthesis; potential pairwise meta-analysis.
Main Results:
- This section is not applicable as it is a protocol for a systematic review.
Conclusions:
- This systematic review protocol outlines a rigorous approach to investigate the ADHD-bruxism association.
- Findings will contribute to understanding the relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders and oral parafunctions.
