OVERVIEW<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Evaluating the load on teeth, habits, and accompanying factors together.<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div>

Bruxism cannot be explained solely by psychological reasons; alongside stress and anxiety, it may be associated with sleep disorders, genetic predisposition, certain medications, caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Constant high force can be associated with tooth wear, enamel cracks, filling or crown fractures, sensitivity, muscle pain, and in some cases tooth tissue or root fractures. Altered contact points may increase food impaction; however, the source of any periapical infection must be investigated separately. Night guards, behavioral awareness, sleep evaluations, physiotherapy, or botulinum toxin in selected cases may be addressed following a physician’s diagnosis. Botulinum toxin is not suitable for everyone and should not be applied self-decidedly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cIn bruxism, the goal is not merely to stop clenching, but to protect the teeth, restorations, and jaw system from excessive loads.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
