Overview

Prospective controlled study reveals no significant functional or occlusal differences in sleep bruxism, suggesting dental anatomy alone does not drive nocturnal grinding.

Key Points

To prospectively investigate the relationship between sleep bruxism and 16 functional and occlusal dental parameters compared to healthy controls.
Prospective controlled study involving 58 sleep bruxism subjects diagnosed via American Academy of Sleep Medicine clinical criteria and 31 non-bruxing controls in Germany.
Assessed 16 functional and occlusal parameters clinically and via dental study casts, including jaw movement range and canine overbite.
Statistical analysis conducted using the Mann–Whitney U-test with Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Initial unadjusted comparisons demonstrated a significantly larger slide from centric occlusion to maximum intercuspation in sleep bruxism subjects (mean 0.77 mm, s.d. 0.69 mm) compared to controls (mean 0.40 mm, s.d. 0.57 mm; P=0.008).
Following Bonferroni correction, none of the 16 evaluated functional and occlusal variables differed significantly between the sleep bruxism and control cohorts.
