The article reviews the literature on the impact of bruxism on the health of soldiers – a professional group particularly exposed to chronic stress. The mechanisms underlying bruxism, its health consequences, including temporomandibular joint disorders, and the correlation between stress levels and the severity of bruxism are discussed. Current diagnostic methods (such as polysomnography and surface electromyography) are reviewed, along with various therapeutic strategies: pharmacological, behavioural, physiotherapeutic, and occlusal splints. The paper underscores the value of an interdisciplinary approach and prevention to mitigate the effects of bruxism in this occupational group.
