Teeth Grinding is emotional stability related to bruxism
Journal of Research in Personality, 2010Co-Authors: Angelina R Sutin, Antonio Terracciano, Luigi Ferrucci, Paul T CostaAbstract:This study examines the association between personality traits and bruxism, the repetitive Grinding or clenching of Teeth. Community-dwelling participants (N = 470) had a comprehensive oral examination by a dentist and completed a dental history and personality questionnaires. Consistent with the literature on state anxiety and depression as antecedents of bruxism, Neuroticism-related traits were associated with self-reported Teeth Grinding. These traits were also associated with other oral complaints often associated with anxiety (jaw clicks, difficulty chewing food, and dry mouth), but not with more general oral health complaints (unhealthy gums, bleeding gums, and canker sores) or with dentist-assessed occlusal wear or tongue indentations. This study provides evidence for the association between Neuroticism and bruxism and other stress-related oral health symptoms.

Development of wireless bruxism monitoring device based on pressure-sensitive polymer composite
Sensors and Actuators A-physical, 2010Co-Authors: Padraig Mcauliffe, Brian O'connell, Dermot DiamondAbstract:A wireless pressure sensing bite-guard has been developed for monitoring the progress of bruxism (Teeth Grinding during sleep); as well as protecting the Teeth from damages. For sensing the pressure effectively in the restricted space and hostile environment, a pressure-sensitive polymer composite has been fabricated and encapsulated into a conventional bite-guard which is safe for in situ applications. The device is anticipated to give real-time data through wireless data transmission and to have a long working life (weeks). A microcontroller-based electronic circuit has been built in-house for data collection and transmission. A low power approach is configured to increase the working life of the device. This device is a useful tool for understanding and treating bruxism.

Development of Bite Guard for Wireless Monitoring of Bruxism Using Pressure-Sensitive Polymer
2010 International Conference on Body Sensor Networks, 2010Co-Authors: Padraig Mcauliffe, Brian O'connel, Dermot DiamondAbstract:A wireless pressure sensing bite guard has been developed for monitoring the progress of bruxism (Teeth Grinding during sleep); as well as for protecting the Teeth from damages. For sensing the Grinding event effectively in restricted space and hostile environment, a pressure sensitive polymer composite which is safe for intra oral applications has been fabricated and encapsulated into a conventional bite guard. Also encapsulated was a microcontroller-based electronic circuit which was built in-house for data collection and transmission. A low power approach was configured to maximize the working life-time of the device to several months. The device can provide real-time tooth Grinding profile through wireless communication. This device is anticipated to be a useful tool for understanding and treating bruxism.

rhythmic Teeth Grinding induced by temporal lobe seizures
Neurology, 2004Co-Authors: Stefano Meletti, Gaetano Cantalupo, L Volpi, G Rubboli, Adriana Magaudda, C A TassinariAbstract:The authors report the clinical and polygraphic features of rhythmic Teeth Grinding observed in a patient as the predominant symptom related to temporal lobe seizures during sleep and wakefulness. This observation demonstrates that exceptionally a Teeth-Grinding event can be not only a parasomnia (sleep bruxism) but also an epileptic-related motor event. Electromyographic and autonomic features of seizure-related Teeth Grinding support the interpretation of this motor phenomenon as a particular form of masticatory activity.

Teeth Grinding oral motor performance and maximal bite force in cerebral palsy children
Special Care in Dentistry, 2015Co-Authors: Maria Teresa Botti Rodrigues Santos, Maria Cristina Duarte Ferreira, Renata De Oliveira Guare, Antonio Sergio Guimaraes, A O L OrtegaAbstract:Aim: Identify whether the degree of oral motor performance is related to the presence of Teeth Grinding and maximal bite force values in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods: Ninety-five spastic cerebral palsy children with and without Teeth Grinding, according to caregivers’ reports, were submitted to a comprehensive oral motor performance evaluation during the feeding process using the Oral Motor Assessment Scale. Maximal bite force was measured using an electronic gnathodynamometer. Results: The Teeth Grinding group (n = 42) was younger, used anticonvulsant drugs, and was more frequently classified within the subfunctional oral motor performance category. Teeth Grinding subfunctional spastic cerebral palsy children presented lower values of maximal bite force. The functional groups showing the presence or absence of Teeth Grinding presented higher values of maximal bite force compared with the subfunctional groups. Conclusion: In spastic cerebral palsy children, Teeth Grinding is associated with the worse oral motor performance.

association between anticonvulsant drugs and Teeth Grinding in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 2014Co-Authors: A O L Ortega, M Dos T B R Santos, Fausto Medeiros Mendes, Ana Lidia CiamponiAbstract:Summary The relation between Teeth-Grinding and the use of drugs acting on the central nervous system of cerebral palsy (CP) patients has not yet been described. The aim of this research was to evaluate the presence or absence of Teeth-Grinding (sleep and/or awake periods) in normal and in CP children and adolescents, as well as the association of Teeth-Grinding and use of anticonvulsant drugs. The sample consisted of 207 children and adolescents, divided into three groups: G1, individuals with CP who did not take anticonvulsant drugs; G2, individuals with CP administered medications on a regular basis; and CG, normal individuals. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association of Teeth-Grinding with some variables. No significant statistical differences were observed regarding the presence or absence of Teeth-Grinding when G1 and G2 were compared. However, compared with the CG, a statistically significant difference was determined, with the CG showing fewer children presenting Teeth-Grinding (P < 0·001). Among those children/adolescents prescribed drug therapy, the barbiturate group showed a greater frequency of Teeth-Grinding. CP children and adolescents show a greater and significant presence of Grinding of the Teeth compared with normal individuals. Subjects taking barbiturate drugs showed greater presence of Teeth-Grinding, than those who were taking medications from the other groups of anticonvulsant drugs.

Teeth Grinding, tongue and lip biting in a 24‐month‐old boy with meningococcal septicaemia. Report of a case
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2002Co-Authors: B M C Coyne, T MontagueAbstract:Summary. This paper describes the management of a 24-month-old boy who presented with self-inflicted trauma to his lower lip and tongue, and Teeth Grinding, 21 days after developing meningococcal septicaemia. A decision to observe and prescribe palliative therapy was made. Extraction of the lower right deciduous canine, which had become non-vital, possibly due to bruxism, was carried out.
