Increased mechanical loading of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is often connected with the onset and progression of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). The potential role of occlusal factors and sleep bruxism in the onset of TMD are a highly debated topic in literature, but ethical considera...
