- ÍtemSolo MetadatosCausas del bruxismo y consecuencias sobre el tejido pulpar. Revisión de la literatura.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Morocho León, Welington Santiago; Piedra Andrade, Rafael Bernardo; 0106952013Bruxism is a parafunctional activity in which there is an unconscious habit of clenching or grinding the teeth. It is a multifactorial pathology that can be related to morphological, psychological, and psychopathological causes. Due to its etiology, it is considered a complex and destructive disease to which damage at the coronal, root, and pulp levels is also attributed, resulting in calcifications, pulp degeneration, resorption, pulp hyperemia, hypercementosis, apical periodontitis or pulp necrosis. The objective of the following work was to carry out a bibliographic review of bruxism in which the causes and consequences on the pulp tissue were analyzed. For this purpose, a qualitative and descriptive methodology was used in which the Catholic University of Cuenca digital databases were used. Similarly, inclusion criteria were established for the selection of information, among them: articles published in the last five years, validated with DOI/URL in the selected databases in Spanish and English. To conclude, it was established that, currently, doctors and dentists do not know the specific cause of bruxism; but they unify criteria, and it is associated with medical and mental health disorders that in most cases do not cause serious complications; however, it can lead to dental and pulp damage.
