Congress presentation

Over the recent years, bruxism has emerged as a phenomenon that is capable of jeopard-

izing the integrity of the stomatognathic structures (i.e., teeth, jaw muscles, temporoman-

dibular joints) and the success of teeth- or implant-supported restorations. For this rea-

son, there is a growing interest in studying the various bruxism activities. In particular,

there have been many attempts to get a deeper insight into the etiology and pathophysi-

ology of bruxism, with the aim to achieve a better definition of the best diagnostic and

management strategies.

Past beliefs about the role of deviations in dental occlusion were wrong, and it is now ac-

cepted that bruxism does not have a peripheral etiology related to dental occlusion. In-

stead, it is a central phenomenon related with a combination of factors, with particular

importance of psychological issues in the etiology of awake bruxism. As far as sleep-

related bruxism is concerned, it has been shown part of sleep arousals, which are micro-

awakenings occurring in the transition to lighter sleep stages. From a therapeutic view-

point, the best available strategies aim to reduce the potential harmful consequences: a

“multiple-P” approach (e.g., plates, pills, psychology, and physiotherapy) is the standard

of reference.

Current concepts support the need for discriminating between the different motor phe-

nomena grouped together under the umbrella term “bruxism”, namely jaw/teeth clench-

ing and teeth grinding. Based on these premises, currently accepted guidelines require a

bruxism measurement to achieve a definite diagnosis, in order to identify the anamnestic

predictors as well as the clinical signs and symptoms associated with bruxism activities.

Within these premises, this dental meeting will be entirely based on an interactive debate

between the speakers and the participants on various bruxism topics. During the event,

Frank Lobbezoo and Daniele Manfredini will give a full-day course on the current evidence

on bruxism and its applicability in the clinical setting. On the next day, other renowned

speakers will introduce workshops on two clinically relevant topics (i.e., bruxism in chil-

dren, bruxism and prosthetic treatment) to be commented interactively with the co-

chairmen and the attendants. The ultimate goal is avoiding frontal lessons in favour of

more productive communication platforms to close the gap between research findings and

clinical practice on this very emerging phenomenon.

In short, this congress, under the marvelous natural framework of the white marble quar-

ries, will be an unmissable event to get an updated report on the available scientific evi-

dence on bruxism, with the ultimate aim to provide strategies for their integration in the

everyday practice of dental clinicians.

See you in Marina di Carrara!
