Bruxism is an oral movement disorder that is characterized by teeth grinding and clenching during one's sleep or even sometimes one is awake. It is estimated that about 10% of the general adult population suffers from Bruxism. The common effects of bruxism include early tooth wear, gum recession, tooth pain, jaw pain, etc. So does bruxism affect dental implants?
Bruxism has been pointed out to cause excessive load onto dental implants and their components. An undue load may lead to bone loss, implant failure, implant fracture, etc. Constant grinding and clenching of the implant can prevent it from completely fusing with the jaw bone after the surgery. If the implant has completely fused with the jaw bone, then bruxism can sometimes lead to the loosening of the implant components or even the fracture of the implant. Therefore address your teeth grinding habit irrespective of you having dental implants or not.
