True or False

Bruxism or teeth grinding does not harm implants, as there is no tissue to effect?
True or False
False: Patients with bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching) may exert excessive forces on dental implants and prostheses, leading to mechanical complications such as screw loosening, implant fracture, and prosthesis wear. Occlusal adjustments, night guards, and splints may be recommended to mitigate the effects of bruxism on implant restorations.
