Sleep bruxism is defined as a stereotyped movement disorder characterized by tooth grinding during sleep and causes abnormal tooth wear, fracture, hypersensitivity, masticatory muscle discomfort, pain and/or temporomandibular disorders. 8% of the general population is considered bruxism patients according to the clinical diagnostic criteria. It has been considered to be a parafunction in dentistry and it has also been placed in the parasomnia section according to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders. Recently, we revealed that swallowing and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) were associated with sleep bruxism. In this review article, I describe the definition of bruxism along with its diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, hypothesis for cause, etiology, day to day variability, associated factors including our new findings such as swallowing and GER, and treatment method.
