Description
Jessica Conti Réus and six co-authors check, in a 2024 study, whether sleep bruxism, the grinding of teeth in sleep, ties to primary headaches. Both are common, and past hints of a link were weak. The team ran a full workup on 42 adults sent for a sleep laboratory test in Florianópolis, Brazil. Tooth wear, questionnaires, and the sleep recording all fed the call of true grinding.
About three quarters ground their teeth in sleep, and over half had primary headache. The odds math showed no link between the two, with a flat ratio and a wide spread. One habit did stand out: alcohol use raised the odds of grinding by close to six times. No other factor clouded the read, though the small group left the test weak. The authors say dentists should weigh alcohol use when they spot grinding.
