  • Title: Bruxism and its effect on the teeth.
    Author: Xhonga FA.
    Journal: J Oral Rehabil; 1977 Jan; 4(1):65-76. PubMed ID: 265365.
    Abstract:
    This study presents the progress of tooth wear and the change in structural morphology on individual teeth of bruxist subjects, compared with non-bruxers. From the results of this investigation it can be concluded that the tooth wear progressed faster in bruxers than in non-bruxers. Scanning electron microscope investigations revealed in 10 teeth the same pattern of deep grooves and striations on the wear-facets of active bruxers.
