Clinical Trial Description

Bruxism has many aetiologies, like occlusal interferences, malocclusion, malnutrition, psychological factors, allergies and gastrointestinal disorders. Among these gastrointestinal disorders, are various intestinal parasitic infections.

Given the controversy surrounding the potential association between bruxism and intestinal parasitic infestations, both important health issues, this study sought to evaluate the relationship between E. vermicularis infection and bruxism in E. vermicularis-positive and E. vermicularis-negative 3-10-year-olds children with bruxism. ;
