Statement Of Problem: Ceramic restorations are popular because of their excellent optical properties. However, failures are still a major concern, and dentists are confronted with the following question: is sleep bruxism (SB) associated with an increased frequency of ceramic restoration failures?
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess whether the presence of SB is associated with increased ceramic restoration failure.
Material And Methods: Observational studies and clinical trials that evaluated the short- and long-term survival rate of ceramic restorations in SB participants were selected.
Objective: This systematic review aims to answer the question: "Is there an association between any specific signs and symptoms of bruxism and the presence of tori?"
Material And Methods: Observational studies, which evaluated the association between signs and symptoms of bruxism and tori, were selected. Signs and symptoms of bruxism (such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, abnormal tooth wear, facial muscle hypertrophy, pain, or fatigue) had to be determined by questionnaire or anamnesis and tori within clinical assessment. Search-strategies were developed for five databases, in addition to three gray literature's databases.
Background: The aim of this systematic review was to answer the focused question, "In adults, is there any association between sleep bruxism (SB) and alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, or drug abuse?"
Types Of Studies Reviewed: This systematic review included studies in which the investigators assessed SB diagnosis by using questionnaires, clinical assessment, or polysomnography and evaluated its association with alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, or drug abuse. The authors graded SB as possible, probable, or definitive. The authors developed specific search strategies for Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, PsycINFO, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science.
