Abstract
In healthy participants, conscious clenching was not associated with any benefit in arithmetic performance. Although our study was limited by only measuring the short-term effects of clenching on a simple arithmetic task, the results indicate that it may not be harmful for clinicians to encourage their patients to refrain from clenching their teeth.
