Sažetak
Bruxism exists as long as humanity; since barbarian times, through the Bible and christianity until the modern stressful age. According to American Sleep Disorders Association, the prevalence of bruxism varies from 5 to 20 per cent. This difference can be related to the lack of awareness in eighty per cent of the popullation that has some form of teeth clenching and/or grinding. Many studies have been published, but the results are still contradictory. There is a large scale of different etiological and therapeutical approaches presented in the scientific literature, but the main problem - bruxism in every day practice often remains undetected and badly treated.
