摘要：
Objective: The main goal of this study is to assess the effect of adenotonsillectomy on bruxism in children with obstructive symptoms due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Patients and methods: In a prospective study, 140 children aged between 4 and 12 years with obstructive symptoms due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy were evaluated. With a questionnaire existence of bruxism was evaluated before and after adenotonsillectomy and the results were compared with each other. Results: The prevalence of bruxism was 25.7% before surgery and 7.1% after it. The difference was significant by p value of 0.02. There was not any significant difference between mate and female dominancy. Conclusion: This study suggests that adenotonsillectomy could improve bruxism significantly in children who have obstructive symptoms due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
