Abstract

This book chapter proposes to review the more recent literature about sleep bruxism in its definition, epidemiological data, mechanisms, physiopathology, clinical presentation, diagnostic, complementary exams, and management. The target is also to show the association with other sleep and clinical disorders and to undo the confusion between sleep bruxism and temporomandibular disorders and make clearer the diagnosis and control of sleep bruxism.
