| Abstract | ||
| Bruxism events can lead to several sequelae, including tooth wear, temporomandibular disorders, headaches, toothache, loose teeth, and problems with dental res-torations and prostheses. Bruxism significantly affects the longevity and performance of prosthetic restorations on natural teeth, particularly fixed dental prostheses (FDPs).Material and methods: A survey observational study was carried out with 70 participants between 10 and 70 years of age from the University of Anbar and the special clinic. They were divided into 44 females and 26 males. Results: Based on the mean results, the results for the selected sample show that dental attrition in women is more than in men in all stages, and the percentage of the first stage appearing is higher than the rest of the stages. Also, the appearance of the third stage appeared more in the ages of 50 to 70. Statistically, it appears that there is a non-significant relationship between stage and tooth wear at different age groups for both males and females. Conclusion: In this study, during clinical examination of teeth, we found more females than males at all stages. In addition, stage 1 is most frequently observed. Also, the third stage appeared more often in the age range of 50 to 70. | ||
