AB  - Objective: Bruxism, characterized by involuntary teeth grinding or clenching, can lead to pain, functional impairments, and reduced quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of combining kinesiology taping with exercise on pain, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) range of motion, sleep quality, depression levels, and cervical proprioception in individuals with bruxism.Materials and Methods: A total of 30 participants were randomly assigned to two groups: a conventional therapy (CT) group and a conventional exercise + kinesiology taping (KT) group. Both groups underwent a two-week treatment program. Pain, cervical joint position sense (CJPS), range of motion (ROM), sleep quality, and depression levels were assessed before and after treatment.Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in pain, depression levels, and sleep quality after treatment (p

N2  - Amaç: Bruksizm, istemsiz diş sıkma veya gıcırdatma ile karakterize olup ağrıya, fonksiyonel bozulmalara ve yaşam kalitesinde azalmaya yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kinezyoloji bantlaması ile egzersizin birlikte uygulanmasının, bruksizmi olan bireylerde ağrı, temporomandibular eklem (TME) hareket açıklığı, uyku kalitesi, depresyon düzeyi ve servikal propriyosepsiyon üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Materyal ve Metot:  Çalışmaya toplam 30 katılımcı rastgele geleneksel tedavi (GT) grubu ve geleneksel egzersiz + kinezyolojik bantlama (KT) grubuna ayrıldı. Her iki grup da iki haftalık bir tedavi programına dahil edildi. Tedavi öncesi ve sonrası ağrı, servikal eklem pozisyon hissi (CJPS), hareket açıklığı (ROM), uyku kalitesi ve depresyon düzeyleri değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Tedavi sonrasında her iki grupta da ağrı, depresyon düzeyleri ve uyku kalitesinde anlamlı iyileşmeler sağlandı (p
