Sleep bruxism(SB)is common in life,and its incidence may decrease with age.The etiology of sleep bruxism is complex and varied,and its biological mechanism includes anxiety,depression,sleep disorder and so on.The exact definition and diagnostic criteria of sleep bruxism are not completely consistent between different studies.Long-term teeth grinding can cause abrasion of crown,teeth sensitivity,periodontitis and other complications,which may lead to temporomandibular joint disorder,masticatory muscle fatigue,masseter hyperplasia,headache and neck pain.And SB could also be associated with cardiovascular adverse events.In this paper,the relevant research progress of sleep bruxism is briefly introduced to help readers correctly understand perniciousness of this disease,the influencing factors and treatment.We should pay attention to the interaction between sleep bruxism and sleep status,the individual etiologi-cal intervention,and effective multi-disciplinary combined therapies.
