It can be clasified as diuranl bruxims or centric bruxims and nocturnal or excentric bruxims. Bruxims has a multifatorial etiology which includes local oclusal factors and others, for a good treatment these factors must be eliminiated. The diagnostic is based on clinical sintoms and signs, a complete clinical history, and a occlusal analisis. Bruxims produces several changes in the stomatogmatic system these are noticed on teeth, muscle, bones and temporo-mandibular joints.
