dc.description.abstractObjective: Stress is known as a major cause of sleep bruxism. This disorder is characterised by repeated contraction of the masticatory muscles and requires multidisciplinary treatment. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between sleep bruxism and three elements, namely alexithymia, coping with stress and anxiety on women. Materials and Methods: One hundred female participants were examined in the study. All respondents completed a stress coping questionnaire, State-trait Anxiety inventory (STAI) and Toronto-alexithymia-scale (TAS-20). A Mann-Whitney U test, Student's t-test and chi-square tests were applied to analyse the data. Statistical significance was assumed for p<0.05. Results: The study sample consisted of 68 bruxist and 32 non-bruxist patients. Statistical significance was found between the two groups on religion and alcohol substance abuse coping scores (p<0.05), although not for the case of TAS-20 and STAI values (p>0.05). Conclusion: The high score of alcohol-substance use (dysfunctional coping) in bruxist individuals and a high score of religion (emotion-focused coping) in nonbruxist individuals suggested that bruxist individuals have a tendency to prefer temporary methods to reduce stress instead of focusing on the root cause.en_US
