summary

In study, work and life, we often meet friends, colleagues and family members who gnash their teeth in the middle of the night. Sometimes they gnash their teeth all night, which affects others' rest. Today, let's learn how to grind their teeth.

What's going on with molars

First, molars refer to unconscious molars during sleep. It can be manifested in the grinding or percussion of teeth in sleep, sometimes accompanied by sound. For long-term molars, clinical examination can find that the teeth have abnormal wear plane. In severe cases, it can lead to obvious loss of dentin and axial substance, tooth allergy, and even pulp and periapical lesions.

Second, nocturnal molars are an important cause of oral and maxillofacial pain and mandibular joint disease. The incidence of nocturnal molars is 8%, which is one of the common diseases in stomatology. Night molars affect their sleep and even the quality of life. For severe patients with nocturnal molars, active and effective measures should be taken.

Third: the cause of nocturnal molars has not been well explained, and there is no very effective treatment in clinic. The etiology and treatment are still in constant exploration. According to the traditional theory of etiology, there is abnormal interference of biting fetus or mental tension during the day, which leads to the over excitation of central nervous system, resulting in the abnormal contraction of masticatory muscles unconsciously controlled at night.
