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

TL;DR: There is a need for an updated consensus on a definition of bruxism as repetitive masticatory muscle activity characterised by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible to be confirmed.

TL;DR: The expanded TMDs taxonomy offers an integrated approach to clinical diagnosis and provides a framework for further research to operationalise and test the proposed taxonomy and diagnostic criteria.

Temporomandibular disorders: Old ideas and new concepts.
TL;DR: The etiology is complex and still not clearly understood, but several biological and psychosocial risk factors for TMD have been identified and several studies indicate that patients with TMD improve with a combination of noninvasive therapies, including behavior therapy, pharmacotherapy, physical therapy, and occlusal appliances.

Prevalence of sleep bruxism in children: a systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: A very high variability in sleep Bruxism prevalence in children was found, due to the different age groups under investigation and the different frequencies of self-reported sleep bruxism, which prevented from supporting any reliable estimates of the prevalence of sleep bruXism in children.

Sleep Bruxism: Validity of Clinical Research Diagnostic Criteria in a Controlled Polysomnographic Study
TL;DR: Polysomnographic recordings from 18 bruxers and 18 asymptomatic subjects were analyzed to discriminate sleep bruxism from other orofacial motor activities and to calculate sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of research criteria.

TL;DR: The final section of this review proposes that RMMA during sleep has a role in lubricating the upper alimentary tract and increasing airway patency.

Principles for the management of bruxism.
TL;DR: A vast majority of the 135 papers published over the past 40 years have a too low level of evidence, and clinicians should be aware of this striking paucity of evidence regarding management of bruxism.

Time-variant nature of sleep bruxism outcome variables using ambulatory polysomnography: implications for recognition and therapy evaluation
TL;DR: Arguments are given that because of the time-variant nature of the PSG recordings, cut-off bands around cut-offs points might be useful for the recognition of SB.
