Bruxism is the habitual grinding of the teeth during sleep or while awake. It can be caused by local factors like minor occlusal issues, systemic factors like gastrointestinal problems or nutritional deficiencies, psychological factors like emotional tension, or occupational factors like jobs requiring precise work. Symptoms include tooth wear, periodontal damage, jaw joint issues, muscle hypertrophy, and headaches. Treatment may involve addressing underlying causes, relaxation techniques, occlusal adjustments, or night guards to prevent teeth grinding.

BRUXISM Bruxism is the habitual grinding of the teeth either during sleep or as an unconscious habit during waking hours.
LOCAL FACTORS Generally associated with some form of mild occlusal disturbance. SYSTEMIC FACTORS Gastrointestinal disturbances Sub-clinical nutritional deficiencies Allergy Endocrine disturbances A hereditary background has been described in some cases. BRUXISM
PSYCHOLOGIC FACTORS Emotional tension may be expressed through a number of nervous habits, one of may be bruxism. OCCUPATIONAL Occupations in which the work must be unusually precise, such as that of the watchmaker, are prone to cause bruxism Athletes engaged in physical activities often develop bruxism, although the exact reason for this is uncertain. BRUXISM
CLINICAL FEATURES Attrition of the teeth may occur, not only occlusal wear, but also inter-proximal wear. As the bruxism continues, there may be loss of integrity of the periodontal structures, resulting in loosening or drifting of teeth or even gingival recession with alveolar bone loss. Temporomandibular joint disturbances. BRUXISM
CLINICAL FEATURES Hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles, particularly the masseter muscle. Bruxism may give rise to facial pain and headache. May give rise to psycho logic and behavioral effects. BRUXISM
TREATMENT If the underlying cause of the bruxism is an emotional one, then psychological counseling by a psychiatrist may be initiated. Relaxing exercises and massage can help in relieving muscle tension. Occlusal adjustments have to carried out to eliminate prematurities. Night guards or other occlusal splints that cover the occlusal surfaces of teeth help in eliminating occlusal interference. BRUXISM
