Stress and Teeth Grinding in Children Aged 8-11
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how stress in children and their parents might be linked to teeth grinding (bruxism) in kids ages 8 to 11. If your child grinds or clenches their teeth (or does not), both groups are needed to compare stress levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 8 to 11 years old.
- Your child should have either mixed baby and adult teeth or all adult teeth (not only baby teeth).
- For the bruxism group: your child must have been diagnosed with teeth grinding or clenching by a dentist.
- For the control group: your child must not have any signs of teeth grinding or clenching.
- A parent or legal guardian must sign a consent form.
- Your child cannot have any chronic or long-term illness.
