Strategies for management of sleep bruxism - clinical implication of basic findings
Scientific Programme (On Demand)
Session Description
Strategies for management of sleep bruxism - clinical implication of basic findings
Sleep bruxism (SB) is defined as “an oral parafunction characterized by grinding or clenching of the teeth during sleep”. SB is one of causal factors of TMD and may deteriorate prognosis after dental treatments by causing abnormal tooth attrition and fracture of dental restorations and tooth structures. The lecture will first cover physiological and biomechanical aspects of SB and then introduce the evidence-based algorithm for clinical diagnosis for SB and the design of occlusal splint for logical management of SB.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the mechanism of sleep bruxism from the viewpoint of physiological and biomechanical basis
• Understand clinical diagnostic algorithm for sleep bruxism
• Understand occlusal splint design for logical management of sleep bruxism
