The article addressed the importance of the study of childhood bruxism, highlighting its impact on quality of life and oral health. Although most research on this dysfunction has focused on adults, studies in children have been limited, especially in relation to non-carious lesions such as attrition, erosion and abfraction. In this growing population, significant long-term risks were identified, such as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, ankylosis, and mandibular growth disturbances.
The research presented a prospective longitudinal design with a rigorous protocol that included inclusion and exclusion criteria. This approach allowed the analysis of risk factors and early diagnosis. The methodologies employed included the use of Dr. Wilma A. Simoes' protocol, salivary pH measurement and microbiological studies to identify Candida spp. Also, treatment with Simoes Network (SN) appliances was implemented in patients with bruxism as well as in the control group.
It was concluded that bruxism in children requires an interdisciplinary approach combining functional, microbiological and methodological analyses. In addition, it was shown that the adhesion of Candida spp to orthopedic appliances, especially C. albicans, underlines the need for rigorous hygiene protocols. The method of localization of elements in orthopedic devices, developed by Medizza and Simoes, stood out for optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy, improving clinical results in less time.
