Sleep bruxism reflects masticatory muscle behavior detrimental to health, but not tied to mortality suggests new study published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation
The association of sleep bruxism with mortality has not been studied previously.
This is the first study to examine the relationship between sleep bruxism and mortality. The association between sleep bruxism and increased risk of mortality did not hold when the regression model was adjusted for known risk factors for mortality. Sleep bruxism is not a disease that kills but rather reflects a masticatory muscle behavior detrimental to health.
