"They differed from the usual features of nocturnal bruxism in hypoperfusion of the left frontal lobe, a poor response to l-dopa or bromocriptine therapy and a favourable response to metoclopramide."1.33A proposed mechanism for diurnal/nocturnal bruxism: hypersensitivity of presynaptic dopamine receptors in the frontal lobe. ( Chen, WH; Liu, JS; Lu, YC; Lui, CC, 2005)
"Metoclopramide is a widely used product, which can accidentally cause acute dyskinesia, of which several forms may be observed, including dysarthria, tetany, spasmophilia, false cerebral vascular insult, trismus, hysteriform spell."1.28[Metoclopramide intolerance and oral manifestations].
