Natália Raposo da Silva, Marília Heffer Cantisano

Abstract


The work aims to review the literature on the etiology and forms of treatment for bruxism. It was noted that after the revision, etiology is multifactorial and treatment is still debatable. The professional, surgeon-dentist, should know the signs and symptoms of this to produce a correct diagnosis and therapeutic measures.
