Synopsis "Bruxism"
This thorough bruxism reference discusses, categorizes, and investigates the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of parafunctional activity. The consequences of bruxism on prosthetic restorations such as veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses, removable complete and partial dentures, and dental implants are discussed in this book. To diagnose bruxism, Bruxocore, biting force detectors, electromyography, BiteStrip, and the gold standard Polysomnography are thoroughly explained and tabulated. To treat bruxers, biofeedback, behavioral therapy, medication, occlusal treatment, and prosthetic rehabilitation modifications may be used. Occlusal splints and splint manufacturing techniques are thoroughly described. The materials to be used in these situations, as well as the prosthetic alterations required during therapy, such as removable prosthodontics, fixed dental prostheses, and dental implants, are meticulously documented.
