BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of bruxism and treatment regimens among remitted bipolar patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The total case group included 222 adult patients with BD. Diagnosis of bruxism was based upon the on 'self-reports' plus the outcome from the clinical examinations. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 112 (50.5%) bipolar patients with bruxism and 110 (49.5%) without bruxism. Remitted bipolar patients who were on mood stabilizer plus atypical antipsychotic treatment had lower bruxism rates than patients on other than bipolar patients on mood stabilizer treatment regimen (p=0.04) and bipolar patients on polypharmacy (p=0.01). CONCLUSION: Our findings have supported the existence of psychotropic drug-bruxism relation and atypical antipsychotic related therapeutic effect among bipolar patients.
