Polysomnography: Each of the patients will undergo polysomnography

Study summary

Bruxism is a common phenomenon. It is estimated that its prevalence in the adult population is 8-31%. Bruxism occurring during sleep is the activity of the masticatory muscles that appear during sleep, which can be rhythmic or phased and is not a movement disorder or sleep disorder in healthy people. It is currently believed that bruxism should not be considered a disorder. In healthy people, it is treated rather as behavior, which may be a risk factor for pathological clinical implications or a protective factor in the presence of other disease entities. The most common symptoms of bruxism include: pathological wear and tooth sensitivity, periodontal and oral mucosa damage, myalgia in the stomatognathic system, headache and prosthetic restoration damage. However, due to nocturnal occurrence, bruxism symptoms may go unnoticed for a long time, which means that patients are often unaware of this behavior. The etiology of bruxism is multifactorial and not fully understood. It is currently believed that it can be caused by genetic, psychological and exogenous factors. Due to the unclear etiology of bruxism, it is so important to conduct research that allows making a certain diagnosis and finding the causes of this phenomenon

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Relationship between bruxism and sleep structure by polysomnography. — 15.10.2019 - 31.12.2020
  Polysomnograms will be evaluated in a 30-second contributions, according to standard sleep criteria. PSG results will contain data on the latency of sleep, total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (%) and an evaluation of phases N1, N2, N3 and REM.
