“…The parafunction of the stomatognathic system results from the repetition of acts or functions that result in hyperactivity of the craniomandibular muscles. Activities such as bruxism, onychophagia, lip biting, chewing gum, finger sucking, as well as other bad oral habits, when exceeding the level of physio-structural tolerance of the individual, can compromise the occlusion, orofacial muscles and temporomandibular joint (Cavalcante et al, 2020;Gavish et al, 2000;Macfarlane et al, 2003). The normal intensity of the bite force ranges from 50 to 300N, however, this force can reach up to 1200N in patients who have clenching or grinding teeth; contributing to the wear, crack or fracture of teeth and/or restorations (Hamburger et al, 2014).…”
