ABSTRACT Background Sleep bruxism (SB) is defined as a masticatory muscle activity during sleep characterised by a multifactorial aetiology. Tobacco smoking and psychological status are considered predisposing factors for SB, but their mutual interaction remains unclear. Objective To investigate the relationship between self‐report SB, tobacco smoking,

Supragingival Microbiota Alterations in Individuals With Sleep Bruxism: A Pilot Study
ABSTRACT Background Sleep bruxism (SB) is an oral behaviour associated to jaw clenching or grinding of the teeth. Its aetiology is most likely multifactorial; however, recent studies suggested that SB is associated with activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Dysbiosis of the oral microbiota is linked to oral and systemic diseases.
