Gnashing teeth during sleep, including
the disruption of sleep, called
sleep bruxism. The habit is an
unconscious habit culprit. Until
now the cause of sleep
bruxism is not known for certain. Maria Giraki, researchers from
Germany, said the person who
had a habit of gnashing of
teeth during sleep is usually
the person under stress and
find solutions to the problem. Conclusions are generated
based on results of a study of
48 people who experience
sleep bruxism. Gnashing teeth can make the
email to be thin, and damage
to the back teeth due to
pressure of jaw movement
during sleep is stronger than
during normal chewing. In addition to symptoms of the
teeth, patients also often
complain of pain in the lower
jaw upon awakening. There
also are complaining about
headaches or ear in the morning. "The cause of the habit
gritted his teeth are not yet
known, but factors thought to
influence emotional. We tried
to investigate whether
differences in stress and how to solve the problem affects
the symptoms of bruxism," said
Giraki. To measure the levels of
gertakkan teeth, the
researchers put a thin plate
at the mouth of the
respondents. Apparently there
is no influence of age, gender, or education to practice his
teeth. It's just that the
majority of patients with sleep
bruxism are the ones who
suffered stress every day,
especially in employment. Researchers assume, people
who like his teeth are those
who can not control the
stress and frustration. "They
seem to prefer a negative
way to get out of stress," said the researcher. Until now there is no effective
therapy for treating sleep
bruxism. However, in patients
who are experiencing stress,
your doctor may prescribe
antidepressants. There are also patients who received
hypnosis to remove the
anxiety and anger that bluff
dental habits can be lost.
