Bruxism is defined as a parafunctional activity during sleep or while awake that includes locking and grinding of teeth and clenching. It generates excessive occlusal force that may lead to implant failure. Therefore, diagnosis of bruxism and providing specific protocols such as occlusal splint and/or injection of botulinum toxin before implant installation are important to prevent increases the risk of implant failure in bruxism patients.
磨牙症的定义是在睡眠或清醒时发生的一种副功能活动,包括牙齿的锁结、研磨和紧咬。它会产生过大的咬合力量,这可能导致种植体失败。因此,对磨牙症进行诊断,并在种植体植入前提供诸如咬合夹板和/或注射肉毒杆菌毒素等特定方案,对于防止增加磨牙症患者种植体失败的风险很重要。
