Saliva hormone levels in bruxism
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at two natural hormones, melatonin and cortisol, in the saliva of people who have bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching). It aims to understand if these hormone levels differ, which could help explain causes or lead to new treatments.
