Bruxism isn’t just about tooth wear; it also affects the periodontium

Bruxism isn't solely about tooth wear; it profoundly impacts the periodontium—the supporting structures around the teeth. The excessive forces exerted during grinding and clenching can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth mobility. Addressing bruxism promptly is crucial not only for preserving tooth structure but also for maintaining overall periodontal health.

Disturbed Circulation: Bruxism interferes with the normal recovery time of the periodontium, disrupting tissue regeneration.

Periodontal Tissues:  The functional adaptability and regeneration of periodontal tissues are compromised by bruxism.

Exacerbating Periodontal Disease: Bruxism aggravates existing periodontal disease, making gums more vulnerable to attack.

Apical Periodontitis Unveiled: Exploring its Link with Bruxism

Apical periodontitis, a condition involving inflammation around the tooth's apex, presents a unique case when intertwined with bruxism. The relentless grinding and clenching characteristic of bruxism can exacerbate the inflammation, complicating treatment. Understanding this relationship is vital for effective management strategies tailored to each patient's needs.
