Prevention of bruxism and its complications
Bruxism, manifested by nocturnal teeth grinding, teeth clenching, and other non-physiological mandibular movements, is a pathology in which habitual chewing movements are transformed from physiological to uncontrollable traumatic stresses that damage the jaw system. For a long time, bruxism was viewed as a bad habit or parafunction. This perception led to insufficient attention to this pathology and contributed to complications from the organs and tissues of the maxillary system: pathological tooth erasure, periodontal disease, and temporomandibular joints. In most cases, bruxism has a latent course and is not diagnosed.
