Abstract
The distribution of nocturnal bruxing patterns in nine subjects was recorded and interpreted in accordance with current concepts of sleep physiology. Few bruxing events were seen in the first 2 h of sleep but peak periods were identified during the night. The findings suggested that bruxism and REM sleep were closely associated and pointed towards a central aetiology for bruxing activity.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
