Abstract: The reported prevalence of symptoms related to bruxism varies in the general population because of different investigative methodologies, operational definitions, clinical criteria, and samples of population.

Buna ek olarak, dişlerdeki atrizyonlar, yaş ve oklü-zal faktörlerle de ilgilidir ve diş sıkmadan ziyade diş gıcırdatma alışkanlığının bir işaretidir.…”
