Bruxism

The origin of reasonable attributed to the habit of finger sucking and gnashing (bruxism) in whatever form, is a state of deep stress. Rarely arises as a result of local problems, but once established, the trigger remains the same: anxiety.

The hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology suggest a role for adjunctive dental abnormalities, such as malocclusion, and central nervous mechanisms in addition to muscular problems. Psychological factors may also play a role in the tensions that exacerbate this condition.

What is bruxism, teeth grinding

Bruxism is the habit of squeezing or involuntary grinding teeth dental structures consciously or unconsciously, that affects between 10% and 20% of the population.

There are 2 types of bruxism: centric and eccentric, and can be night and day, usually the night bruxomano patient is unaware of the problem, and data derived from this is that dentists see the destruction (attrition) of the enamel and dentin.

The origin of bruxism can be local, but the trigger is always a state of anxiety. Anxiety or a state of agitation or restlessness of spirit. An example might be the bricomania or bruxism. Since the denial of the patient to a state of stress is very characteristic and may be clinically asymptomatic, clinicians should be very keen to identify the present state of anxiety and to determine the treatment to implement.

In the tight bruxism or rubbing bruxism the grinding is usually aggressive, repetitive or continuous, day or night and affects children and adults and both sexes equally. The tightening or bricomania is continuous or intermittent closure of the jaws under pressure vertical rubbing or gnashing is repeating an excursion in a horizontal direction.

The bricomania parafunctional is a movement. Is a contact other than for chewing and swallowing. When the diagnosis is established during a dental examination in these patients and whether the injuries are usually minimal or undetectable, is not local treatment that is required but rather care for anxiety disorders.

It seems that the nocturnal bruxism may appear at times when the patient performs the movements of your body a more pronounced and widespread tension in parts of the body when the disorders are activated. If the patient sleeps with someone, that person can feel you move your legs or arms at the same time and also does the typical grinding of teeth.
