METHODS: The incidence of bruxism in children was investigated from the questionnaire of 779 children’s parents. The occlusion of these children was checked by professionals. The influence of the occlusion on the incidence of bruxism in children was analysed. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS:The occlusion of children with bruxism and children without bruxism had no significant difference (P>0.05). The incidence of bruxism did not increase in the children with mixed dentition(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The occlusion does not affect the incidence of bruxism in children. The mixed dentition does not increase the incidence of bruxism in children.展开更多
