“…Children with a history of restless sleep present a 2. between emotional factors and the etiology of this habit. The presence of emotional stress 5,24 was affirmed to show a greater influence on bruxism compared with other factors, 25 including occlusal factors. It is worth emphasizing that a simple occlusal correction is not indicated as therapy for bruxism as instituting coadjutant therapies is necessary.…”

“…8,15 The origin of these differences regarding childhood bruxism is assumed to potentially be related to the lack of methodological uniformity in the studies, cultural differences existent among countries, 21,22 or even by the variety in the age groups studied. 5,23 Those features that may be considered normal in one age group may not be the case in another age group.…”

“…4,5,8,[15][16][17] The difficulty in diagnosing this parafunctional disturbance, mainly based on polysomnography exams, which was not performed in this sample, is known, 2 and it becomes even more limited when one is dealing with children at the stage of primary dentition.…”

“…It has been characterized as a multifactorial habit comprising hereditary, psychological and behavioral factors; the environment; and occlusal and some pathological interferences. [2][3][4][5] During primary dentition, a thorough clinical exam must be carefully performed, not only to diagnose caries but also to assess occlusion and the masticatory and cervical musculature, which could confirm or exclude a diagnosis of the presence or absence of a deleterious functional habit.…”

Association of infantile bruxism and the terminal relationships of the primary second molars Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the association between infantile bruxism and the terminal relationships of the primary second molars. A total of 937 pre-school children (both genders), aged from 2 to 6 years, from municipal schools in São Paulo were evaluated. In this study, a questionnaire considering the bruxism habit and the presence of headaches and/or restless sleep was answered by the parents/guardians. A clinical exam of occlusion in the anteroposterior direction (vertical plane -VP, mesial step -MS and distal step -DS) was performed by the examiners in the school environment. Student's t test, Fisher's test and a logistic regression test were applied for the statistical analysis at a significance level of 5%. The prevalence of the bruxism habit was 29.3% among the total sample. Because there was no significant difference between the sides evaluated, the left side was taken as the standard. Among those children with bruxism, 25.7% presented a mesial step terminal relationship at the primary second molars, 29.1% had DS, and 30.2% had VP. Regarding the association of the parafunctional habit with the type of terminal relationship, no significant results were found. Children who slept restlessly or suffered from headaches were verified to show a higher chance of expressing the habit (OR = 2.4 and 1.6, respectively). The prevalence of bruxism in the studied sample was 29.3%, and its association with the primary second molars' terminal relationship was not statistically significant.

“…Although none of the questions was assumed as right, the FTQ showed greater coherence with factors already recognized as associated with childhood bruxism, considering behavioral and sleep characteristics 5,8,10,[12][13][14][15] . The AASM recommends the evaluation of the occurrence of audible teeth grinding during the night as a criterion for the definition of PSB 1 , however it does not indicate any validated questionnaire for this purpose.…”

Introduction: Parents' report is the most used method for the study of sleep bruxism (SB) in children, especially in research with large samples. However, there is no consensus about the questions used to assess SB, what may difficult the comparisons between studies. Objective: The aim of this research was to evaluate the agreement between two different approaches to assess possible sleep bruxism (PSB) in children using parents' report. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 parents/caregivers. Prior to the questionnaire completion, all participants received a standard explanation of SB concept. Subsequently, the parents/caregivers answered a general question (GQ) and a frequency-time question (FTQ) about SB, and the answers were compared. Results: The majority of the participants were the children´s mothers (73%) and the childrens mean age was 7.5 years (SD: 2.25). PSB frequency in children did not differ statistically through the two questions [GQ: 30.7% (CI95%: 24.2 -37.1) and FTQ: 26.6% (CI95%: 20.4 -32.8)], and an almost perfect agreement was observed between the answers (kp=0.812). Nevertheless, the FTQ showed a more coherent relation with the factors already recognized as associated with childhood bruxism than GQ. Conclusions: Different approaches result in similar PSB frequency, however, they show different ability to identify PSB associated factors and suggest the need of questions including frequency and time in further studies.
