Few studies have attempted to characterize the pain associated with bruxism (i.e., to examine the neurobiological and physiological characteristics of the mandibular muscles). Some clinical cases and small-scale studies suggest that certain drugs linked to the dopaminergic, serotoninergic, and adrenergic systems can either suppress or exacerbate bruxism. Further, the majority of these pharmacological studies indicate that various classes of drugs can influence the muscular activity related to bruxism, without exerting any effect on OP. Therefore, the sensitization of the trigeminal nociceptive system and the facilitating effect on mandibular stretch reflexes and CNS hyperexcitability are neurophysiopathogenetic phenomena that can be correlated to pain in the craniofacial region. However, up to now, no correlation has been reported between OP, dysfunction of the mesencephalic nuclei, and facilitation of trigeminal nociception, except for a clinical study on a patient affected by pontine cavernoma, which highlighted a relative facilitation of the trigeminal nociceptive system through the blink reflex.

=== Introduzione ===
As anticipated we will take up the same diagnostic language presented for the patient Mary Poppins so that it becomes an assimilable and practicable model, and we will try to superimpose it on the present clinical case called 'Bruxer'. The subject was a 32-year-old man suffering from pronounced nocturnal and diurnal bruxism and chronic bilateral OP prevalent in the temporoparietal regions, with greater intensity and frequency on the left side. Neurological examination showed a contraction of the masseter muscles with pronounced stiffness of the jaw, diplopia and loss of visual acuity in the left eye, left gaze nystagmus with a rotary component, papillae with blurred borders and positive bilateral Babynski's, and polykinetic tendon reflexes in all four limbs.

Come anticipato nel capitolo '[[Bruxism]]' eviteremo di indicare questo disturbo come esclusivo correlato odontoiatrico e cercheremo una descrizione più ampia ed essenzialmente più neurofisiologica facendo un breve excursus sui fenomeno distonici, sullo 'Orofacial Pain' e solo dopo considereremo il fenomeno 'bruxismo' vero e proprio. Successivamente si passerà alla presentazione del caso clinico.

As anticipated in the chapter '[[Bruxism - en|Bruxism]]' we will avoid indicating this disorder as an exclusive dental correlate and will seek a broader and essentially more neurophysiological description by making a brief excursus on dystonic phenomena, on 'Orofacial Pain' and only then will we consider the phenomenon 'bruxism' true and own. Subsequently we will move on to the presentation of the clinical case.

The etiology of OFD is varied and includes genetic predisposition, injury to the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral trauma, medications, metabolic or toxic states, and neurodegenerative disease. However, in the majority of patients, no specific cause can be identified. An association was found among painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), migraine, tension-type headache, and sleep bruxism, although the association was only significant for chronic migraine. The association between painful TMDs and sleep bruxism significantly increased the risk for chronic migraine, followed by episodic migraine and episodic tension-type headache.<ref>Fernandes G, Franco AL, Gonçalves DA, Speciali JG, Bigal ME, Camparis CM.

{{Q2|does the tennis match start again?|sembrerebbe all'apparenza ma......}}
 
A differenza del paziente con 'Spasmo Masticatorio', il caso clinico del nostro povero 'Bruxer' mostra un fenomeno di sovrapposizione di proposizioni, asserzioni e frasi logiche nel contesto odontoiatrico e neurologico ed all'apparenza nessuno dei due ottiene una assoluta e netta compatibilità e coerenza. Ciò si ripercuote nella clinica in cui tutti gli attori coinvolti ( medici esaminatori) hanno ragione e contestualmente torto rendendo la conclusione diagnostica inadeguata e pericolosa, ma vediamo step by step il processo nel suo insieme.   
From what has been exposed in the previous chapters from the '[[Introduction/en|Introduction]]' to the chapters '[[Logic of medical language: Introduction to quantum-like probability in the masticatory system - en|Logic of medical language]]' and the last chapter '[[Bruxism - en|Bruxism]]', in addition to the complexity of the arguments and the vagueness of the verbal language, we could find ourselves faced with a clinical situation in which seems to dominate one of the contexts considered.   
   
{{Q2|does the tennis match start again?|it looks like it but....}}
 
Unlike the patient with 'Hemimasticatory Spasm', the clinical case of our poor 'Bruxer' shows a phenomenon of overlapping of propositions, assertions and logical sentences in the dental and neurological context and apparently neither of the two obtains an absolute and clear compatibility and consistency. This has repercussions in the clinic in which all the actors involved (medical examiners) are right and contextually wrong, making the diagnostic conclusion inadequate and dangerous, but let's see the process as a whole step by step.
