Effect of Sleep Bruxism Intensity on Blood Pressure in Normotensives

The present research aimed to investigate the influence of sleep bruxism (SB) intensity on blood pressure parameters in normotensive subjects by using an ambulatory blood pressure device. The study group included 65 normotensive individuals suspected of having SB. All participants underwent one-nigh...

description The present research aimed to investigate the influence of sleep bruxism (SB) intensity on blood pressure parameters in normotensive subjects by using an ambulatory blood pressure device. The study group included 65 normotensive individuals suspected of having SB. All participants underwent one-night video-polysomnography, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed the next day; 86.15% of them were diagnosed with SB. Statistical analysis included correlation and regression analysis. The obtained results showed that systolic blood pressure variability during sleep significantly increased in individuals with BEI > 4 (bruxism episodes index; episodes/hour) compared to those with BEI ≤ 4 (8.81 ± 3.36 versus 10.57 ± 3.39, <i>p</i> = 0.05). Multivariable regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure variability at nighttime was also associated with the following independent risk factors: higher apnea-to-bruxism index, male gender, BEI > 4 episodes/hour, body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, higher arousal index, and shorter total sleep time. In summary, sleep bruxism intensity was associated with increased systolic blood pressure variability during sleep. Coincidental apnea, male gender, severe sleep bruxism (SB intensity with BEI > 4/hour), excess weight and obesity, higher arousal index, and shorter sleep time seem to be the main determinants that influence blood pressure in normotensive sleep bruxers.
