Abstract
It is well known that Bruxism causes to not only tooth wear (abrasion), but also has a risk factor for periodontal disease, orofacial pain, and temporomandibular disorders. It was divided into two groups that present time, such as awake bruxism and sleep bruxism (SB). Awake bruxism is still unclear, however SB was seen clearly by the degree of these details in sleep physiological observation. SB was frequently seen after rhythmic masticatory muscle activity such as induced sleep microarousals. On the other hand, details of bruxism in infants and children is still unknown. Very interesting points was these situations and effect of aging.
We encountered a one year and 7 month (19 month) old girl who had severe high mobility of her lower incisors with bone loss and bleeding.
Here, we report that a very rare case of sleep bruxism and its treatment was the reason.
