        abstract = {Bruxism (awake and sleep) is a common parafunctional exertion that can produce progressive tooth wear and tear, prosthetic failure, myofascial pain, and temporomandibular diseases. Prosthodontists play a central part in opinion, defensive and restorative operation, and long- term conservation of affected dentitions. Prosthodontic strategies include occlusal appliances (slivers), defensive restorative design and accoutrements, full- mouth recuperation for severe wear and tear, provisionalization and phased recuperation, implant and prosthetic planning for bruxers and spare measures (e.g., botulinum poison) when indicated. substantiation supports occlusal appliances for symptom control and protection of dentition although outgrowth studies vary in quality; botulinum poison shows pledge for reducing muscle pain and intensity but long- term data are limited. Implant survival may be reduced in bruxers and requires careful planning and conservation. A multidisciplinary, offered approach integrating behavioral measures, appliance remedy, restorative planning, and careful follow- up is recommended.},
