“…It is in accordance to the results of other studies described in the literature [18]. Clinically, this finding is important because it emphasizes the need for bruxism monitoring without implying other complex treatments [19,20].…”

Objective: To investigate the factors that influence oral health of girls, with developmental disabilities, attended by a dental service. Material and Methods: A Cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out using information collected from 171 dental charts of children aged one to 13 years, with developmental disabilities who were treated between 1998 and 2013. Studied variables were: dental caries, gingivitis, bruxism, xerostomia, ingestion of cariogenic food and oral hygiene. Statistical analysis was performed using proportion calculations of each variable and by cluster analysis. Results: Three types of clusters were formed from girls based on three variables (presence of dental caries, gingivitis and bruxism). The choice of two clusters was due to a better understanding of the phenomenon (oral conditions). There was an average of 0.77 of deciduous and 0.21 permanent decayed teeth. Cluster 1 is composed of younger children with lower caries and gingivitis experiences; lower proportion of xerostomia and ingestion of cariogenic food, higher proportion of good oral hygiene and more bruxism experience. Conclusions: Dental caries and gingivitis among girls with developmental disabilities are influenced by factors whose relation of cause and effect has been discussed in the literature. Bruxism is a protective factor against these diseases.Results reinforce the need for early preventive interventions in this population.

“…In the disorders of the stomatognathic system, excessive occlusal load may occur [24], and with this, the masticatory musculature can respond with increased activation of muscle fibers. This, in turn, can cause unnecessary physiological and biochemical activity, depending on the stimuli to which muscle fibers are subjected, which may cause damage to this complex system [25].…”

BACKGROUND: Sleep bruxism (SB) changes the functionality patterns of the stomatognathic system. However, its severity can be an aggravating factor in the function of this complex system. AIM: The purpose of the study was to investigate the stomatognathic system of healthy subjects with different severity of SB, as determined by BiteStrip. METHODS: Thirty-four subjects were divided into two groups: Mild SB (n = 15) and severe SB (n = 19). Electromyograph was used to evaluate the electromyographic activity of the right masseter (RM), left masseter (LM), right temporal (RT), and left temporal (LT) muscles at mandibular rest, right and left laterality, protrusion, and maximum voluntary contraction. Molar bite force was measured by the dynamometer. The data were tabulated and submitted for statistical analysis (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Molar bite force was significantly lower in the severe SB group. There was a significant increase in electromyographic activity in the severe SB group for the mandibular rest tasks (RM, RT, and LT), protrusion (RM, LM, RT, and LT), and right and left laterality in the temporalis muscles. There was a significant decrease in electromyographic activity in the severe SB group in maximum voluntary contraction for the masseter and temporalis muscles. CONCLUSION: Subjects with severe SB demonstrated greater functional impairment of the stomatognathic system, mainly affecting the electromyographic activity and molar bite force.

“…Bruxism, the habitual grinding of teeth, is a common problem in children with CP, particularly those with severe motor and cognitive deficits (56,103). Bruxism may lead to teeth abrasion, flattening of biting surfaces, damage to the periodontal tissues, alveolar bone resorption and TMJ dysfunction.…”

“…Bruxism may lead to teeth abrasion, flattening of biting surfaces, damage to the periodontal tissues, alveolar bone resorption and TMJ dysfunction. The incidence of bruxism in individuals with CP is between 25-51 % (56,(103)(104)(105)(106). In healthy children, this frequency has been reported as 15.29 % (107).…”

While the underlying etiological factors can be demonstrated in approximately half of the cases (9), the risk factor cannot be determined in approximately one third (10)(11)(12). While prenatal causes are held responsible in almost 70-80 %of patients (multiple pregnancies, intrauterine infections, cervical insufficiency, placenta anomalies, bleeding, intravenous clotting, pregnancy toxication, hyperthyroidism, drug use, iodine deficiency, genetic, hypertension, mental retardation, Metabolic and hormonal diseases such as epilepsy and diabetes mellitus), perinatal causes in 10-20 % (placenta infarction, vaginal bleeding, asphyxia, prematurity, placenta previa, low birth weight, corioamniotis, cord wandering, abnormal presentation, early membrane rupture, low score by APGAR scoring system (scoring by evaluating the appearance of the newborn, heart rate, reflex response, tonus and respiration) and postnatal causes (encephalopathies, polycythemia, hypoglycemia, CNS infection, intracranial bleeding, coagulopathy, convulsions, hyperbilirubinemia) in 10% of patients are held responsible (12, 13).Tonus disorder in CP is at the forefront. According to the type of tonus disorder, CP can be classified as spastic, ataxic, dyskinetic and mixed types (14). Almost three quarters of cases are spastic types. It is characterized by increased muscle tone in the rapid angular movement of the joint in the extremity affected by the first motor neuron damage. This may cause problems such as impaired posture, limitation of
