Factors associated with bruxism in children with developmental disabilities

“…13 The frequency of bruxism was similar to that reported in previous studies, 3,4,9,14 higher than rates found in Iran 13,15 and lower than rates found in studies involving individuals with cerebral palsy. 5,8,11 The divergence between the rate in the present investigation and those reported in studies involving individuals with cerebral palsy may be due to the small sample sizes in the studies cited. A systematic review of the literature reports that the prevalence rate of bruxism ranges from 5% to 40%, with higher rates found in Brazil in comparison to rates reported throughout the world.…”

“…4 Among children with developmental disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, the prevalence ranges from 25.0% to 69.4%. 5,6,7,8 In studies involving children with cerebral palsy and a control group, a higher prevalence rate has been reported in the former group, 9 whereas other studies have found no significant differences between groups. 6 In individuals with cerebral palsy, bruxism has been associated with spastic quadriplegia, athetosis, 5 sucking habits, posterior crossbite, 6 gastroesophageal reflux 10 and Level III of the Gross Motor Functional Declaration of Interests: The authors certify that they have no commercial or associative interest that represents a conflict of interest in connection with the manuscript.…”

Prevalence and predictive factors of sleep bruxism in children with and without cognitive impairment

“…Previous studies reported that individuals with cognitive impairment are more prone to this parafunction due to spasticity (an increase in muscle tone at the time of muscle contraction caused by an abnormal neurological condition -the spastic muscles are more resistant to contraction than normal muscles and also require more effort to relax and remain contracted for a period of time). [10][11][12][13] However, recent studies have found that the prevalence of SB is similar between such individuals and control individuals matched for age. 6,17 As a result of different study methods, clinical criteria and the populations studied, the reported prevalence of SB varies significantly.…”

“…[7][8][9] Only a few studies have investigated the diverse aspects related to SB in patients with physical and/ or cognitive impairments. [10][11][12][13] Recent studies found a higher prevalence in individuals with Down syndrome when compared to individuals without cognitive impairment. Additionally, SB appeared to affect individuals with cerebral palsy twice as much as control individuals.…”

Prevalence of orofacial dysfunction in cerebral palsy and its association with gross motor function and manual ability

“…However, in the present study daytime biting hard on the teeth or grinding the teeth was less than half as frequent as the reported frequency of teeth grinding at night. 28,29 (29) 2 (40) 13 (100) 0 (10) 1 (6) 3 (25) 2 (100) 11 (100) 17 ( (14) 2 (40) 9 (69) 0 (0) 2 (12) 2 (17) 1 (50) 8 (73) 12 (23) 5 -Oral motor function 5 (36) 5 (38) 5 (71) 4 (80) 13 (100) 3 (30) 8 (47) 10 (83) 2 (100) 11 (100) 34 (65) A Stick out your tongue as far as you can 0 (0) 2 (15) 1 (14) 2 (40) 13 (100) 1 (10) 1 (6) 3 (25) 2 (100) 11 (100) 18 ( (80) 13 (100) 3 (30) 8 (47) 10 (83) 2 (100) 11 (100) 34 (65) C Blow up your cheeks and hold for at least 3s 5 (36) 5 (38) 3 (43) 4 (40) 13 (100) 1 (1...…”
