Article Synopsis
- Sleep-related bruxism (SB) is the nighttime grinding or clenching of teeth that involves the central nervous system, and this study aimed to explore its relationship with microarousals and drops in oxygen levels among individuals with sleep apnea.
- The study analyzed data from 240 participants using polysomnography to measure SB, microarousals (brief EEG changes), and oxyhaemoglobin desaturations during sleep, without relying on self-reports.
- Results indicated that bruxers experienced more microarousals than non-bruxers, particularly during NREM stage 2 sleep, but the link between SB and significant drops in oxygen levels was not clear; bruxers had an increased risk for microarous

Background: Sleep bruxism (SB) is a condition regulated centrally, with a multifactorial etiology, which can occur secondary to systemic disorders and the use of certain medications.
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify associations between SB, obstructive sleep apnea, and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and the use of antidepressants.
Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 240 individuals underwent full-night polysomnography for medical reasons.
