Abstract:
Bruxism is an oromandibular condition characterized by 2 distinct circadian manifestations, sleep bruxism and awake bruxism. Bruxism may be protective for obstructive sleep apnea. Bruxism can have significant implications for restorative dentistry, in terms of failure of natural teeth and dental restorations. Bruxism may also have specific implications in various dental specialties such as prosthodontics, endodontics, orofacial pain, and implantology, amongst others. Thus, bruxism may necessitate recognition and management through an interdisciplinary approach.
