“…Caffeine intake in high quantity is linked with an increased risk of sleep bruxisms in 1.5 times [162] through mechanisms currently unknown [163]. Heavy drinking and frequent alcohol intake during the day have also been associated with sleep bruxism.…”

“…Heavy drinking and frequent alcohol intake during the day have also been associated with sleep bruxism. It is thought that fragmentation of sleep architecture and accumulation of neurotransmitters related to dopaminergic and serotoninergic pathways may be associated with the exacerbation of sleep bruxism [162,163]. Similarly, tobacco consumption increases the risk of having sleep bruxism two times [162].…”

Dystonia - Different Prospects

Orofacial movement disorders (OMD) are a group of conditions that affect the motor aspect of the trigeminal, facial, and hypoglossal cranial nerves. These alterations are produced by pathologic disorders affecting the central nervous system, manifesting as isolated or combined hyperkinetic dysfunctional activities on the masticatory, facial mimic, or tongue musculatures. A comprehensive understanding of orofacial dystonias is essential to identify different variants of OMD that could be easily mislabeled or misdiagnosed. In this chapter, the authors focus on different aspects of the pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical features, and management of orofacial dystonias and other movement disorders that are poorly recognized but not uncommon presentations of OMD, such as orofacial dyskinesias, drug-induced orofacial reactions, tardive orofacial syndromes, and bruxism.

“…31 Most papers describe that PS only reduce bruxism activity, but they do not eliminate the disorder. 29,31 Manufacturers of OTC occlusal splints claim that freely available splints generate a relaxation of jaw muscles leading to awakening with no pain. As the vertical dimension increases from the occlusal contact on the insertion of the occlusal splint, muscular effort decreases resulting in the relaxing of the muscles.…”

Aim and objective: Bruxism is defined by The American Sleep Disorders association as "tooth grinding during sleep plus tooth wear, sounds or jaw muscle discomfort in absence of medical disorder. People are obtaining over the counter splints (OTC) as a possible alternative to manage bruxism without the need for dental assessment. The aim of this study is survey OTC bruxism splints available in Chile through the internet or other commercial outlets, categorize their characteristics, claims, safety warnings and contrast it with scientific evidence. Materials and Methods: An internet search was made for OTC bruxism splints available in Chile. Only Chilean domains were evaluated. Information recorded was manufacture, name of the device, splint design, material, adjustability, price, claims and safety warnings. Results: five devices were found in our search. Only one is from a Chilean laboratory, being the most accessible. All devices have a full coverage splint design. the material made of is only described in one and their prices in the market are very dissimilar. The most usual advertising was "Eliminate Bruxism. Stop Night-Time Grinding & Clenching". Two manufactures suggest that the device will help to sleep better. No manufacture provided a guide for how long each day the splint must be worn. Conclusion: Dentists should be aware to keep this market in mind when reviewing patients if there have been unexplained occlusal changes or other problems. Bruxism is often a long-term problem and with any type of bruxism appliance the importance of regular review by a professional is critical.

“…Female gender and age are associated with TMD signs and symptoms; in the age group of 20-40 years TMD are common [3][4][5][6]. Some studies have reported that alcohol consumption [12] and smoking [13,14] are associated with TMD, although the evidence is scarce [15]. A recently published study [16] revealed that major consumption of alcohol, daily smoking and use of snuff increased the risk for nearly all TMD symptoms among young Finnish adults.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of selfreported TMD symptoms and clinically diagnosed TMD among Finnish prisoners. Material and methods: Altogether 100 prisoners from the Pelso Prison, Vaala, Finland, underwent dental and TMD clinical examinations performed by a calibrated and well-trained dentist. Symptom Questionnaire and clinical examination according to a Finnish pre-final version of the DC/TMD (Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders) Axis I protocol were used to evaluate the prevalence of TMD sub-diagnoses. Results: The most common TMD symptoms were facial pain (54.0%), temporomandibular joint noises (43.0%) and headache (37.0%). The prevalence of joint-related TMD diagnoses was four and a half times higher than diagnoses attributed with pain (76.0% vs 17.0%). The most common TMD diagnoses were degenerative joint disease (33.0%) and disc displacement (DD) with reduction (33.0%). Conclusions: The prevalence of self-reported TMD symptoms and clinical assessed TMD, especially join-related TMD diagnoses, is high among Finnish prisoners. Examination and treatment of TMD should become a common practice also in prison dental care.

Legal Psychoactive Substances as Risk Factors for Sleep-Related Bruxism: A Nationwide Finnish Twin Cohort Study

Abstract: Given the observed associations between alcohol drinking, binge drinking, passing-out due to excessive alcohol intake and coffee consumption, the results support our hypothesis of an independent association of both alcohol use, and coffee consumption with bruxism.
