Social, emotional, and behavioral problems and parent-reported sleep bruxism in schoolchildren.

CONCLUSIONS: Parental reports of emotional and behavioral problems were associated with a higher prevalence of SB in schoolchildren. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: This study's results contribute to those of previous investigations about the association between psychological characteristics and SB. Interdisciplinary research involving dentistry and psychology may improve the understanding of bruxism. PMID: 32223910 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
