Bruxism is a movement disorder of uncertain aetiology. Beside local peripheral and central psychological factors, drugs were suspected. Using the World Health Organization (WHO) global pharmacovigilance database, Vigibase®, we investigated through disproportionality analyses potential associations between exposure to drugs and bruxism reports. All reports of bruxism in adults between 01/01/2000 and 31/12/2022 were included. Results are expressed as reporting odds ratio (ROR). Among the 564 reports of bruxism, an association was found with eight antidepressants (first sertraline followed by escitalopram, venlafaxine, vortioxetine, citalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, duloxetine) and four antipsychotics (first ziprasidone followed by aripiprazole, olanzapine, risperidone). A signal was also described for oxybate sodium and metoclopramide. For antidepressants, a negative association was found between ROR values and NET (norepinephrine transporter) but not SERT (serotonin transporter) pKi values, suggesting this ADR is more closely linked to norepinephrine than serotonin reuptake inhibition.

Background: The dependence on the illicit drugs has been proven to be harmful to the oral cavity and may lead to a series of abnormal manifestations. The main objective of this study was to observe the effects caused by the consumption of illicit drugs in the oral cavity, in a prison population in the North of Portugal.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted involving 91 male inmates aged 25-75 years (mean age 41.

3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; commonly referred to as "ecstasy" or "molly") is a substituted amphetamine drug that is used recreationally for its acute psychoactive effects, including euphoria and increased energy, as well as prosocial effects such as increased empathy and feelings of closeness with others. Acute adverse effects can include hyperthermia, dehydration, bruxism, and diaphoresis. Post-intoxication phenomena may include insomnia, anhedonia, anxiety, depression, and memory impairment, which can persist for days following drug cessation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the effects of SSRIs and SNRIs, commonly prescribed antidepressants, on sleep disorders and bruxism (teeth grinding) among major depression patients.
  • 125 patients were evaluated for bruxism after one week and then again after four weeks of using these medications.
  • Results showed that while bruxism wasn't significantly impacted in the first week, an increase in sleep bruxism was observed in male patients by the fourth week, particularly linked to paroxetine and duloxetine.

Fluoxetine, but not paroxetine, alters the jaw-closing muscle activity during non-rapid eye movement sleep in mice.

Sleep bruxism is an involuntary, exaggerated jaw-closing activity during sleep. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use is a risk factor for bruxism. However, the effect of various SSRIs on masseter (jaw-closing) muscle activity remains unclear.
