Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinical risk factor for sleep bruxism (SB). Although no clear causative link has been defined, both conditions are inter related to sleep-related arousal reactions [1]. A literature review was conducted on PubMed and ScienceDirect databases for 2000–2021 period. The majority of studies revealed an association between OSA and SB events.
