A PARTICIPAÇÃO DO BRUXISMO NA DTM: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

Psychosocial factors such as stress, hypervigilance, anxiety, depression and catastrophizing directly contribute as etiological factors causing the autonomous motor behavior of bruxism. These aspects contribute to the increase in the incidence of bruxism, which also generate participation and cumulative effects that can lead to the development and/or worsening of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), culminating in damage to the quality of life of the population affected by this condition. Through this literature review, we hope to gather studies to understand bruxism and its motor intensity related to etiological and psychosocial factors that increase its participation in comorbidities associated with TMD (orofacial pain, troubled sleeping, clicking, hyperactivity and fatigue of facial muscles). Understanding the etiology of bruxism is important to conduct multidisciplinary forms of treatment between Dentistry, Psychology and Psysiotherapy, in order to establish a balance between the components of the stomatognathic system and preserve health.
