Bruxism has turned out to be a mounting concern in current years due to its downbeat impact on the life value and also for being measured an imperative risk factor for temporomandibular dysfunctions. The grinding force compared to regular mastication is three to ten times more powerful enough to crack a walnut. Although bruxism is not a huge handicap, it can influence the quality of human life, especially through dental problems, such as tooth wear leading to inefficiency of mastication, pain in the facial region and tooth fractures. Hence early identification and preventive measures go a long way to protect the occlusion.
