Source : https://jcsm.aasm.org/doi/abs/10.5664/jcsm.9078

The aim was to identify predictive factors of sleep bruxism (SB) severity among polysomnographic (PSG) parameters, salivary cortisol levels, temporomandibular disorders, age and sex. Young adults (19-30y) were screened for self/roommate reports of teeth grinding/clenching during sleep associated to clinical signs of tooth wear.
