Abstract

Oral parafunctions are defined as motor sequences that aim at satisfying oral needs but implicate compensating and substituting muscles or muscular sets when their onset is inadequate. Specialists recognize two major forms: teeth grinding and teeth clenching. Instead of grinding, clenching may remain totally unnoticed in the dental examination. Recent literature stressed a close link between clenching and pain and discomfort. Stomatognathic muscle spasticity responds to central factors (psychoemotional) and/or peripheral factors (dental occlusal disorders, lingual dysfunction, working or sleeping malposition, severe traumatism, etc.), so, given its detrimental and invalidating effect, this parafunctional habit requires the clinician’s undivided attention, whatever his specialty. This investigation seems logical for TMD patients, but it must become methodical for those diagnosed with fibromyalgia, migraine, and chronic fatigue.
