Summary

Bruxism is defined as a repetitive jaw muscle activity characterized by clenching and grinding teeth caused by mandibular movement. Sleep bruxism is frequently seen and can affect the quality of life of individuals. Since bruxism is characterized by clenching teeth, it can cause pain. However, the relationship between bruxism and pain has not been sufficiently studied in the literature. The relationship between the temporamandibular joint and the cervical region is known. However, the relationship between bruxism and cervical mobility is not clear. Since there may be temporamandibular joint problems in bruxism, it can affect joint movement. The sleep quality of individuals may decrease and this may lead to problems in functionality. However, when the literature is examined, the relationship between bruxism and functional independence in children has not been explained. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare the pain, range of motion, sleep quality and functional independence of children with bruxism and healthy controls.
