Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To present a review of literature on childhood bruxism, including etiological factors, clinical characteristics, signs and symptoms, the importance of the diagnosis by pediatric dentists and pediatricians and the multidisciplinary management of this parafunctional condition. DATA SOURCE: The most relevant articles published on the subject from 1907 to 2007 were selected, from Medline and Brazilian Bibliography on Odontology databases as well as dentistry books. DATA SYNTHESIS: Bruxism is defined as a non-functional habit of the stomatognatic system, characterized by the act of grinding or squeezing the teeth, with occurrences during the day or sleep. The etiology is multifactorial with contribution of several factors (dental, physiological, psychological and neurological variables). The forces produced by bruxism can harm the teeth, their supporting tissues, muscles and temporomandibular articulation. Common clinical signs are: attrition on the incisal faces of the anterior teeth and occlusal faces in the posterior teeth, as well as dental hypermobility and hypersensibility, cusp and restoration fracture and muscle hypertonicity. CONCLUSIONS: The knowledge on the etiological factors and the clinical characteristics of childhood bruxism is important to establish early diagnosis and treatment, with a multidisciplinary approach that should include pediatricians, pediatric dentists and psychologists in order to provide adequate infant development focused on health promotion and individual well-being.
