Why is it important?
In addition to clinical examination, radiologically diagnosed bone apposition may serve as an extra diagnostic indicator of bruxism. Moreover, since such morphological changes take long time to develop, they may provide an indication about the presence of bruxism and its duration.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a pleasure. It can help dental practitioner in diagnosing unconfirmed bruxism from the digital panoramic radiograph.
