Bruxism is a centrally mediated neurological para-functional movement disorder encompassing clenching, and grinding of teeth, or thrusting and bracing of mandible, which may be performed without conscious awareness. Diagnosis of bruxism can be done with instrumental and non-instrumental tools. Non-instrumental tools include self-reporting, questionnaires, history, and clinical diagnostic criteria. ⋯ It was found that non-instrumental tools or questionnaires are not sufficient for confirmatory diagnosing of bruxism independently. Correlating instrumental recordings with non-instrumental tools such as clinical findings may be a good practice to diagnose bruxism definitely and precisely. Key Words: Diagnosis, Bruxism, History, Electromyography, Polysomnography.
