EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY AND NEUROTICISM AS RISK FACTORS FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL BRUXISM (Brief overview)
Abstract
This overview study aims to determine the connection between neuroticism as a personality factor and bruxism symptoms in adults. The research includes a review of current data and exploration of clinical and psychological relationships. The results suggest that neuroticism relates to a higher chance of both daytime and nighttime bruxism, mainly through anxiety, somatization, and reduced emotional control.
