    Objective: The study aimed to determine the relationship between academic stress and bruxism in dentistry students aged 20 to 30 years in the eighth and ninth semesters at Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, Lima - 2018. Methodology: This was a prospective, observational, and cross-sectional study involving a sample of 63 dentistry students from the eighth and ninth semesters. Academic stress was assessed using the SISCO Inventory, and bruxism was evaluated using the Screening test. The Chi-square test was used for data analysis. Results: Among the 53 students with bruxism, 60.4% exhibited moderately low levels of academic stress (p=0.01). Moderately low academic stress was present in 65.1% of all students, and bruxism was found in 84.1%. By gender, moderately low stress was observed in 70.8% of females and 46.7% of males (p>0.05). Moderately low stress was reported by 78.6% of eighth-semester students and 54.3% of ninth-semester students (p>0.05). Bruxism was present in 83.3% of females, 86.7% of males, 82.1% of eighth-semester students, and 85.7% of ninth-semester students (p>0.05). A relationship between stress and bruxism was observed in female students and ninth-semester students (p≤0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between academic stress and the presence of bruxism in the students (p=0.01).
