granola
Part of speech: adj
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: Genericized trademark from Granola, a brand of breakfast cereal registered in 1886 by Will Keith Kellogg and in use into the early 20th century. It was initially known as Granula and renamed Granola to avoid legal problems with James Caleb Jackson, who invented a similar cereal in 1863, named Granula after the granules of Graham flour, the main ingredient.
The food and name were revived in the 1960s. By 1967, it appears in American English, probably from Italian grano (“grain”) or granular + the commercial suffix -ola.

bruxism
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Topics: dentistry

Etymology: From Ancient Greek βρυχή (brukhḗ, “grinding of teeth”) + English -ism (suffix forming nouns indicating a tendency of action, behaviour, condition, or state). The word βρυχή is derived from Ancient Greek βρύκω (brúkō, “bite, chew; devour, gobble; grind one's teeth, gnash”).

pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: The habit or practice of grinding the teeth, as while sleeping, or due to stress or certain drugs.
pos: noun

examples: Bruxism is defined as occlusal stress during sleep.
Employment of autosuggestion in the treatment of "bruxism" may not be so well known.
At the conclusion of the second International Conference on Endodontics in 1958 there was listed in the final summation the following very conservative statement: "There is a possibility that in rare cases bruxism may cause the death of the pulp."
Disturbances of the Masticatory System gives a comprehensive outline of factors involved with a broad perspective as to the etiology of bruxisms, traumatic occlusion and functional disturbances of the temporomandibular joints and muscles.
[B. Z.] Rabinowitch feels that internal resorption may be caused by traumatic occlusion. He cites a case of internal resorption where there was no history or evidence other than continued bruxism as the etiology.
Abnormal function [of the temporomandibular joint], in turn, may be the result of a structural problem such as dental malocclusion or a functional problem such as bruxism (clenching and grinding of the teeth).
Caffeine intake in high quantity is linked with an increased risk of sleep bruxisms in 1.5 times through mechanisms currently unknown. Heavy drinking and frequent alcohol intake during the day have also been associated with sleep bruxism.
