Introduction: Bruxism is a very common parafunctional habit in children and is usually associated with parasitic infections.
The aim of this work is to verify the possible relationship between bruxism and parasitosis in children, reviewing the existing literature.
Methodology: A search was carried out in Medline/PubMed, BVS (Virtual Health Library), Scielo, Google Scholar, Lilacs, Elsevier, Cochrane databases; Pan American Health Organization and World Health Organization websites. Descriptors such as: “Bruxism”, “Intestinal Parasitosis”, “Sleep Bruxism”, “Parasitic Diseases”, “Sleep-wake Disorders” and “Temporomandibular Joint Disorders” were used. Studies on the relationship between both primary descriptors and titles compatible with the review were included, without limiting the year of publication. Including works published in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
Results: Of the 40 articles included in this review, although there are some studies that affirm it, there is not enough evidence to prove a causal association between bruxism and intestinal parasitosis in children.
Discussion: Case-control studies present mixed results: some find a significant relationship between bruxism and parasitosis, while others do not; observational studies also show a high prevalence of parasitosis in children with bruxism, but do not establish a clear causal relationship.
Conclusion: No defensible relationship is found between bruxism and parasitosis.
