MEDICINAL BIOMAGNETISM AS ADJUVANT IN THE TREATMENT OF SLEEP BRUXISM – PROTOCOL PRESENTATION

Introduction: Bruxism was defined in 2014 through the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, as a repetitive jaw muscle activity that is characterized by clenching or grinding of teeth. Bruxism has two different circadian manifestations, which can occur during wakefulness (awake bruxism) or during sleep, called Sleep Bruxism (SB). Medicinal Biomagnetism (MB) is an integrative technique that is based on the dissociation of charges in the body, usually caused by a thermal variation in two specific points. The charges that are vibrationally and energetically related are induced and depolarized through the use of magnets that emit static magnetic fields of medium intensity, correct or prevent the pH distortion of organs or tissues in the living organisms. As a result, the neutralization of pathogenic bioelectrical distortions promotes health. Objective and Method: The objective of this work is to present the MB therapeutic technique through the Sleep Bruxism treatment protocol, which can be used by health professionals or Biomagnetism therapists as a complementary practice in the management of SB and its causes. The methodology used to compose this protocol was descriptive bibliographical research of an exploratory nature in books and articles. Conclusion: As a result, the Sleep Bruxism Protocol (SBP) was presented, allowing to treat and attend to the organic and emotional imbalances that trigger SB.
