Abstract Sleep‐related bruxism (SRB) is a motor oral behavior characterized by tooth grinding and jaw clenching activity, reported 8%–12% of the adult general population 3% older individuals. The frequency one its biomarkers, rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA), remains elevated across ages. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with brief repetitive pause breathing (apnea) transient reduction in oxygen (hypoxia). OSA observed at all ages about 50% individuals male preponderance. SRB clinical assessment based on self‐reporting sound, awareness clenching, pain or headache, observation damage. sleepiness fatigue, snoring, quality, cessation, plus examination anatomical factors (e.g., obesity, retrognathia, large tonsil, macroglossia), age, gender, body mass. Although literature does not support association causality between these two conditions, co‐occurrence 30%–50% adults. To confirm diagnosis co‐occurring OSA, home testing (HST) may be indicated. A test performed using electromyography (EMG) (masseter temporalis) cardio‐respiratory variables air flow, respiratory effort, level, heart rate). management for prosthodontic needs challenging to prevent compromising oro‐pharyngeal space efficiency. treatment presence includes continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use alone an occlusal splint mandibular advancement device (MAD). In addition, following considered: supine correction device, myofuncional therapy, medications, surgeries. All have limitations risks. Individual variability suggests that phenotyping mandatory select most efficient personalized treatment.
