Abstract: (77 Views)
Introduction: Bruxism is one of the most influential factors for the high prevalence of Temporo Mandibular Disorders (TMDs). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bruxism and its related factors in patients referring to Zanjan Dental School in 2022.
Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 584 patients referring to Zanjan Dental School were examined for a history of bruxism and TMDs through questions and clinical examination. In addition, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) was used to assess Common Mental Disorders (CMDs). The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney and chi-squared tests at a significance level of 5%.
Results: The prevalence of bruxism in the present study was 33.2%, with no relationship with patients' gender. Dental attrition was the most common sign in patients with bruxism (28.8%). In addition, the prevalence of CMD and TMD in patients with bruxism was significantly higher than in patients without it (p-value:0.001).
Conclusion: Given the high prevalence of bruxism and its association with many factors such as psychological disorders and TMD issues, it seems necessary to inform people about the detrimental effects of bruxism for its proper management.
