Bruxism is a condition in which the patient unconsciously grinds or clenches his teeth during day or nighttime. These oblique forces of bruxism differ from ones that are consciously applied for mastication. In this study, we analyzed the impact of bruxism forces on a dental prosthetics using finite element method. particularly, the mean bruxism forces determined by researches was applied in different angles and compared with occlusal forces. This study shows that the effect of the angle of the bruxism oblique force is far more destructive than its magnitude.
