Association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and bruxism: A systematic review protocol.

ABSTRACT: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by the primary symptoms of inattention, disorganization, and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. Bruxism is a repetitive activity of the chewing muscles characterized by clenching and grinding of the teeth and forceful mandibular movements. Various physiological and psychosocial factors, including attention deficit, depression, stress, and anxiety, have been associated with bruxism. The aim of this systematic review protocol is facilitating the understanding of the systematic review methods and promote transparency in the research. The systematic review will investigate whether there is evidence regarding the association between ADHD and bruxism. The search will be conducted on six databases. Gray lite
