TLDR
The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible and proposed a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruXism.Abstract:
To date, there is no consensus about the definition and diagnostic grading of bruxism. A written consensus discussion was held among an international group of bruxism experts as to formulate a definition of bruxism and to suggest a grading system for its operationalisation. The expert group defined bruxism as a repetitive jaw-muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Bruxism has two distinct circadian manifestations: it can occur during sleep (indicated as sleep bruxism) or during wakefulness (indicated as awake bruxism). For the operationalisation of this definition, the expert group proposes a diagnostic grading system of 'possible', 'probable' and 'definite' sleep or awake bruxism. The proposed definition and grading system are suggested for clinical and research purposes in all relevant dental and medical domains.read more

Bruxism in dentists' families.
TL;DR: A recent, quasisystematic review of the literature enables an evidencebased answer to the frequently asked question whether bruxism is hereditary: based on four family studies, five twin studies, and one DNA study, bruXism appears to be partly genetically determined.

Short‐term effects of NTI‐tss and Michigan splint on nocturnal jaw muscle activity: A pilot study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effects of two different splint designs on jaw muscle activity in sleep bruxers who were otherwise healthy and found that the Michigan splint was more effective for the reduction of joint muscle activity during sleep than the NTI-tss.

Chapter 55 - Sleep bruxism
TL;DR: The most appropriate strategy to manage patients with sleep bruxism is to reassess the main motive for the consultation, such as tooth-grinding noises or morning pain, and a dental device is the recognized procedure used to prevent the grinding sounds in absence of sleep apnea.

TL;DR: A grading system of definite, probable, and possible neuropathic pain is proposed, which includes the grade possible, which can only be regarded as a working hypothesis, and the grades probable and definite, which require confirmatory evidence from a neurologic examination.
