Why does ascariasis bite?

summary

Many people have or have encountered the situation of sleeping and grinding their teeth, and parents often consult. Children always sleep and grinding their teeth at night. Is there Ascaris lumbricoides in their stomach? Now let's talk about why Ascaris lumbricoides bite their teeth?.

Why does ascariasis bite?

First: morphological factors in some patients with uneven teeth, because of poor occlusion and low masticatory efficiency, patients are used to increase masticatory force or use one side of masticatory, masticatory muscle work intensity is high, and they are also in an excited state when they rest at night, unconsciously contracting, causing the occurrence of nocturnal molars.

Second, the research of pathophysiological factors mainly focuses on the regulatory function of neuromuscular system, including central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Studies based on central nervous system suggest that nocturnal molars are closely related to micro arousal during sleep. Sleep seems calm, but brain activity is not idle at all. During sleep, brain activity is divided into REM sleep and non REM sleep. Micro arousal is interpenetrated between the two, maintaining a dynamic balance, while maintaining the role of vigilance. Brain wave monitoring during sleep found that the appearance of micro arousal state is often accompanied by nocturnal molars. The micro arousal state of patients with nocturnal molars is significantly more than that of normal people. Therefore, the central nervous system plays an important role in the occurrence of nocturnal molars during sleep. According to clinical observation, the electrical activity of masticatory muscles in patients with nocturnal molars is significantly higher than that in normal people. Through treatment to reduce the tension of masticatory muscles, the condition of nocturnal molars can also be significantly alleviated. Therefore, it is believed that nocturnal molars are caused by excessive excitation of masticatory muscles.

Third, social psychological factors mainly focus on stress psychology. In animal experiments, scientists give experimental animals traumatic stimulation, found that their sleep structure and masticatory muscle tension will change. In the investigation of patients with bruxism, it was also found that patients with night bruxism were more shy, cautious, indifferent, stubborn and vulnerable to inner feelings. That is to say, in life, people with night molars may bear more psychological pressure, which is released in the process of sleep. Night molars are a manifestation of this psychological stress activity. This kind of psychological stress activity is a series of complex neurophysiological activities, in which the amygdala plays a very important role. When there are many pathogenic factors of a disease, the specific pathophysiological process of the disease is not completely clear, that is to say, the etiology of molars is a very complex disease. At present, we can confirm that nocturnal molars are a manifestation of sleep disorders, the main feature of which is the abnormal activity of neuromuscular system during sleep.

matters needing attention

Ascariasis can lead to permanent molars, because the toxins produced by ascariasis can stimulate the central nervous system, change the sleep cycle, and make the nerves excited.
