As anticipated in the chapter '[[ | Come anticipato nel capitolo 'Bruxismo' eviteremo di indicare questo disturbo come correlato esclusivamente dentale e cercheremo una descrizione più ampia ed essenzialmente più neurofisiologica facendo un breve excursus sui fenomeni distonici, sul 'Dolore Orofacciale' e solo successivamente considereremo il fenomeno 'bruxismo' vero e proprio. Successivamente si passerà alla presentazione del caso clinico. | ||
As anticipated in the chapter '[[Bruxismo|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. | |||
[[File:IMG0103.jpg|thumb|300x300px|'''Figura 1:''' The subject was a 32-year-old man suffering from pronounced nocturnal and diurnal bruxism and chronic bilateral Oorofacial pain ]]Dystonia is an involuntary, repetitive, sustained (tonic), or spasmodic (rapid or clonic) muscle contraction. The spectrum of dystonias can involve various regions of the body. Of interest to oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the cranial-cervical dystonias, in particular, orofacial dystonia (OFD). OFD is an involuntary, sustained contraction of the periorbital, facial, oromandibular, pharyngeal, laryngeal, or cervical muscles.<ref>Thompson PD, Obeso JA, Delgado G, Gallego J, Marsden CD.
