Saliva hormone levels in people who grind their teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study measures levels of two natural chemicals (melatonin and cortisol) in the saliva of people who grind or clench their teeth. It aims to see if these levels are different in bruxism, which could help understand why it happens.
