Abstract
Bruxism is generally regarded as an important predisposing as well as an initiating factor in temporomandibular disorders. Many studies have demonstrated an association between bruxism and symptoms and signs of temporomandibular disorders, in adults as well as in children. However, a causal relationship has not been established. Currently, the most probable hypothesis is that other factors, reducing the adaptive capacity of the temporomandibular joint and associated tissues, have to be present for bruxism to play an initiating role.
