Inhoud: Rhythmic masticatory muscle activities are probably part of normal jaw motor behavior. Certain factors, like disease, stress, personality, alcohol, and medication, may turn this normal activity into a condition that might include abnormal tooth wear, myofascial pain, and temporomandibular joint problems. This condition then corresponds with bruxism. Bruxism and masticatory muscle pain may reciprocally influence one another: although not a compulsory finding, bruxism may be associated with the predisposition, initiation, and perpetuation of temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain. On the other hand, the presence of jaw muscle pain may reduce bruxism motor activity. Research on the integrity and nature of the relationship between bruxism and pain is hampered by controversies that exist regarding definition, diagnostic criteria, and measurement techniques. Moreover, the pathophysiology of bruxism and its association with other sleep-related and movement disorders are still unclear. Consequently, there is no real cure for bruxism, although several treatments may be used to control its adverse effects. However, there is very limited research to support the efficacy of behavioral, physical, dental, pharmacological, and orthopedic treatments. Probably the best current treatment modality for bruxism is the occlusal stabilization splint. Although such an orthopedic device may not actually prevent bruxism, it may help to reduce its symptoms.
