Abstract
"Possible" and "probable" sleep bruxism affects one in four Brazilian children, and there is evidence with a low level of certainty that its prevalence does not vary between genders, assessment approaches, or geographical regions. The distribution of bruxism is still an unknown subject and presumably occurs because of individual rather than regional or collective factors.
