They are more common in early adult life and are associated with bruxism.
This is the most usual type of tooth wear that occurs in bruxism, and affects the occlusal surface (the biting surface) of the teeth.
There is no evidence for the long term use and safety of biofeedback in the management of bruxism.
Bruxism may cause tooth wear, and even the damage or breakage of teeth and dental restorations such as crowns and fillings.
Secondary bruxism includes iatrogenic causes, such as the side effect of prescribed medications.
Another report suggested a link between episodes of sleep bruxism and a supine sleeping position (lying face up).
Historically, many believed that problems with the bite were the sole cause for bruxism.
It has been shown that the type of research into bruxism has changed over time.
