About

This study aims to explore the mechanisms by which periodontal disease affects the bruxers and to assess the impact of subgingival instrumentation on jaw symptoms of probable bruxers among patients with periodontitis .

Full description

Patients with chronic periodontitis usually describe itching and persistent pain of moderate intensity. Applying masticatory pressure provides relief in these symptoms. However, this practice may lead to the development of bruxism habits in patients over time.

A deeper comprehension of the dynamic interplay between periodontal health and bruxism is crucial for crafting holistic treatment approaches aimed at addressing both symptoms and root causes effectively.

Till now, there has been no report examining the effect of subgingival instrumentation on probable bruxers in periodontitis patients.

. This study aims to assess the impact of subgingival instrumentation on jaw symptoms of probable bruxers in patients with periodontitis
