Editing Bruxism (section)

==History==
Two thousand years ago, ''[[Shuowen Jiezi]]'' by [[Xu Shen]] documented the definition of Chinese character "齘" (bruxism) as "the clenching of teeth" (齒相切也).<ref>{{cite wikisource |title= 說文解字 第二卷

In 610, ''[[Zhubing yuanhou lun]]'' by [[Chao Yuanfang]] documented the definition of bruxism (齘齒) as "the clenching of teeth during sleep" and explained that it was caused by [[Qi]] deficiency and blood stasis.<ref>{{cite wikisource |title= 巢氏諸病源候總論 卷二十九|wslink= 巢氏諸病源候總論 (四庫全書本)/卷29|wslanguage= zh}}</ref> In 978, ''[[Taiping Shenghuifang]]'' by ''[[Wang Huaiyin]]'' gave a similar explanation and three prescriptions for treatment.<ref>{{cite web |title=太平聖惠方 卷34 |url=https://mediclassics.kr/books/135/volume/34}}</ref><ref>{{cite wikisource |title= 普濟方 巻六十八|wslink= 普濟方 (四庫全書本)/卷068|wslanguage= zh}}</ref>

"La bruxomanie" (a French term, translates to ''bruxomania'') was suggested by Marie Pietkiewics in 1907.<ref name="Shetty 2010" /> In 1931, Frohman first coined the term bruxism.<ref name="Macedo 2009" /> Occasionally recent medical publications will use the word bruxomania with bruxism, to denote specifically bruxism that occurs while awake; however, this term can be considered historical and the modern equivalent would be awake bruxism or diurnal bruxism. It has been shown that the type of research into bruxism has changed over time. Overall between 1966 and 2007, most of the research published was focused on occlusal adjustments and oral splints. Behavioral approaches in research declined from over 60% of publications in the period 1966–86 to about 10% in the period 1997–2007.<ref name="LOBBEZOO 2008" /> In the 1960s, a periodontist named Sigurd Peder Ramfjord championed the theory that occlusal factors were responsible for bruxism.<ref name=Behr2011>{{cite journal|last=Behr|first=Michael|author2=Hahnel, Sebastian|author3=Faltermeier, Andreas|author4=Bürgers, Ralf|author5=Kolbeck, Carola|author6=Handel, Gerhard|author7=Proff, Peter|title=The two main theories on dental bruxism|journal=Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger|volume=194|issue=2|pages=216–219|doi=10.1016/j.aanat.2011.09.002|pmid=22035706|url=http://www.dentox.it/pdf/Behr%20bruxismo%20le%20due%20principali%20teorie.pdf|year=2012|access-date=28 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529085123/http://www.dentox.it/pdf/Behr%20bruxismo%20le%20due%20principali%20teorie.pdf|archive-date=29 May 2014}}</ref> Generations of dentists were educated by this ideology in the prominent textbook on occlusion of the time, however therapy centered around removal of occlusal interference remained unsatisfactory. The belief among dentists that occlusion and bruxism are strongly related is still widespread, however the majority of researchers now disfavor malocclusion as the main etiologic factor in favor of a more multifactorial, [[biopsychosocial model]] of bruxism.
