Abstract(s)
A depressão é uma patologia cuja prevalência se prevê que tenda a aumentar nas próximas décadas. Pacientes afetados pela depressão procuram compensar esta alteração através de hábitos parafuncionais patológicos, como o bruxismo. Contudo, a associação entre a toma de antidepressivos e o aparecimento de bruxismo secundário, ou a alteração dos sinais e sintomas de parafunção já existentes, não é unânime entre os pesquisadores.
Pretende-se com esta revisão narrativa clarificar o fenómeno do bruxismo e a sua etiologia, mostrando a sua associação com a depressão e, ainda, definir a sua relação com a toma de antidepressivos. Foi executada uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, Cochrane e Elsevier.
O bruxismo permanece uma patologia pouco estudada e, relativamente à existência de uma relação entre esta parafunção e a toma de antidepressivos, não existe concordância entre autores. São necessários estudos futuros que visem elucidar quanto aos efeitos e consequências destes fármacos.
Depression is a condition whose prevalence is expected to increase in the coming decades. Patients affected by depression seek to compensate this change through pathological parafunctional habits, such as bruxism. However, the association between taking antidepressants and the onset of secondary bruxism, or altering the existing signs and symptoms of parafunction, is not unanimous among researchers. This narrative review aims to clarify the phenomenon of bruxism and its etiology, showing its association with depression and also to define its relationship with taking antidepressants. A bibliographic search was performed in the PubMed/Medline, Cochrane and Elsevier databases. Bruxism remains a poorly studied pathology and, regarding the existence of a relationship between this parafunction and taking antidepressants, there is no agreement between authors. Future studies are needed to elucidate the effects and consequences of these drugs.
