Bruxism is a type of neuro-psychic disease that influences the activity of the mandible and distorts multiple structures of the face and mouth muscles. According to previous studies, most bruxism is the result of suppressed stress which can occur due to lifestyle, and career pressure. People with severe anger issues can show signs of bruxism as a result of tension build-up in their oral cavity. As it is studied by various research, people show stages of bruxism in various stages of life depending on the situation they are struggling with. To shed light on the intricate interactions between stress, aggression, and oral habits, this review investigates the prevalence of bruxism in forensic contexts. We examine the body of research to clarify the possible applications of bruxism in forensic contexts, highlighting its importance in comprehending psychological profiles and behavioural patterns.
