Abstract

Bruxism is a parafunctional habit characterized by repetitave muscle movements. It is divided into two groups: sleep and awake bruxism. Many factors play a role in the etiology of bruxism. Sleep disorder is particularly noteworthy in the pathogenesis of bruxism, and the relationship between sleep and bruxism is complex. In addition, the patient’s self-report, taking an accurate anamnesis, performing a correct clinical examination, as well as the use of auxiliary instruments and methods play a key role in the diagnosis of bruxism. Confirming the diagnosis of possible bruxism in the patient, increased life quality, as well as the long-term success of dental treatments, implants and prosthetic restorations. The aim of this review is to convey the most recently methods used in the diagnosis of bruxism and to raise awareness for clinicians on the way to diagnosis when they encounter a possible case of bruxism.
