This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of awake bruxism (AB) in the adult population. The overall pooled prevalence was found to be low, highlighting the need for standardized guidelines.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the prevalence of awake bruxism (AB) in the adult population.Materials and methodsSix main electronic databases and three sources of grey literature were searched to identify cross-sectional studies in which AB was assessed. The studies were independently selected by two reviewers in two phases, based on their eligibility criteria. The first one consisted of reading titles and abstracts, and the second one involved reading the full articles. The study quality assessment was obtained by using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Studies Reporting Prevalence Data, and the R Statistics software was used to perform meta-analyses.ResultsSeventeen out of 3086 identified studies were included. None of the studies scored high in methodological quality across all 9 items of the JBI checklist. However, the use of valid methods to identify pathology and appropriate statistical analysis were considered to have high methodological quality in all the studies. The overall pooled prevalence of the meta-analysis was 15.44% (99% confidence interval: 10.81 to 20.72%) and there was no difference for sex, sampling method and according to consensus-based classification.ConclusionsThe prevalence of AB in adults was low. There was substantial methodological variability, which highlights the need for standardized guidelines.Clinical relevancePrevalence data are useful for raising patients' and clinicians' awareness of the AB. Moreover, since AB can lead to possible pain and overload of the stomatognathic system, this knowledge can also guide dentists to achieve an early diagnosis of AB and to provide appropriate care management.
