Bruxism is an abnormal activity of the masticatory system, caused by both psychological and occlusal factors. The aim of the study was to determine the possible correlation between the temperament and character of patients and bruxism. Personality profile of 35 bruxism patients, with no history of psychiatric disorder, was studied by means of Cloninger's seven factor model of temperament and character. For diagnosis of bruxism, muscle activity was analysed and occlusal interferences and facets were registered by clinical functional analysis. Temperament and Character Inventory assesses four dimensions of temperament and three dimensions of character. Results suggest that bruxism patients can have following personality traits: exploratory, impulsive, extravagant and irritable, pessimistic, fearful, shy and fatigable, critical, aloof, detached and independent, lazy, spoiled, underachiever and pragmatist. Combined scores of character dimension indicate immature dimensions of character. Inventory is not standardized for the Croatian population, therefore the result should be taken with caution.
磨牙症是咀嚼系统的一种异常活动，由心理因素和咬合因素共同引起。本研究的目的是确定患者的气质和性格与磨牙症之间可能存在的相关性。采用克隆宁格的气质和性格七因素模型，对35名无精神疾病史的磨牙症患者的人格特征进行了研究。为了诊断磨牙症，分析了肌肉活动，并通过临床功能分析记录了咬合干扰和小平面。气质和性格量表评估了气质的四个维度和性格的三个维度。结果表明，磨牙症患者可能具有以下人格特质：爱探索、冲动、奢侈、易怒、悲观、恐惧、害羞、易疲劳、挑剔、冷漠、超脱、独立、懒惰、被宠坏、成就不佳和实用主义。性格维度的综合得分表明性格维度不成熟。该量表尚未在克罗地亚人群中标准化，因此对结果应谨慎对待。
