U.S., May 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07615153) titled 'Impact of Distress Level, Sleep Quality and Occlusal Trauma on Periodontal Status Among Bruxers' on May 22.
Brief Summary: Increased distress levels and impaired sleep quality are known to exacerbate bruxism by enhancing masticatory muscle activity, leading to excessive and prolonged occlusal forces. These abnormal forces may result in occlusal trauma, which can compromise the adaptive capacity of the periodontal tissues by increasing tooth mobility, widening the periodontal ligament space, and accelerating alveolar bone loss, particularly in the presence of existing periodontal inflammation. Although occlusal trauma alone may not in...
