Introdução: O bruxismo tem sido associado a estudantes universitários ao longo dos últimos anos. Sendo um potencial fator de risco de desordens do sistema estomatognático, é importante a identificação de determinados fatores/comportamentos de risco para esta condição.
Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivos: avaliar a auto perceção de bruxismo em estudantes de Medicina Dentária e de outros cursos de Saúde na Cooperativa de Ensino
Superior Egas Moniz; avaliar a prevalência de hábitos parafuncionais, experiência de dor
e dificuldade em dormir na mesma população.
Materiais e Métodos: 305 alunos da Cooperativa de Ensino Superior Egas Moniz foram
convidados a participar neste estudo. Aos Estudantes de Medicina Dentária (n=153) e de
outros cursos de Saúde (n=152), numa primeira fase foram solicitados a assinatura de um consentimento informado, e por fim aplicado dois questionários: questionário de auto
perceção de bruxismo e uma escala de ansiedade. Foram aplicadas medidas de tendência central para o objetivo principal, e para os objetivos secundários foi utilizado o teste do Qui-quadrado de Pearson, com significância de ρ < 0.05.
Resultados: Em 85% dos estudantes existiu auto perceção de algum tipo de bruxismo,
sendo que 43% consideraram apresentar Bruxismo de Sono e Vigília em simultâneo. O
hábito parafuncional mais prevalente foi “Mascar Pastilha elástica” (77,9%). Relativamente à ansiedade, 57% apresentou algum grau de ansiedade. Existiu associação nas duas populações, entre o grupo bruxismo e o hábito parafuncional “Pressionar a língua entre os dentes” (ρ < 0.05), e entre grupo bruxismo e a variável “dor crónica” (ρ < 0.05).
Conclusão: Os estudantes apresentam auto perceção sobre bruxismo, no entanto não
existiram diferenças significativas na auto perceção de bruxismo entre os dois grupos de
estudantes, sendo que os que apresentam bruxismo apresentam pelo menos 1 hábito parafuncional.
Introduction: Bruxism has been associated with university students over the past few years. Being a potential risk factor for a disorder of the stomatogmatic system, it is important to identify risk factors / behavior for this condition. Objectives: This study aims to: assess the self-perception of bruxism in students of Dentistry and other Health courses; to assess the prevalence of parafunctional habits, experience of pain and difficulty sleeping. Materials and Methods: 305 students from the Cooperativa de Ensino Superior Egas Moniz were invited to participate in this study. Students of Dental Medicine (n = 153) and other Health courses (n = 152), in a first phase, were asked to sign an informed consent, and finally two questionnaires were applied: a questionnaire on self-perception of bruxism and an anxiety scale. Central tendency measures were applied for the main objective, and for the secondary objectives the Pear-son chi-square test was used, with significance of ρ <0.05. Results: In 85% of the students, there was self-perception of some type of bruxism, and 43% considered having Sleep and Wake Bruxism simultaneously. The most prevalent parafunctional habit was “Chewing gum” (77.9%). Regarding anxiety, 57% had some degree of anxiety. There was a correlation in both populations, between the bruxism group and the parafunctional habit "Pressing the tongue between the teeth" (ρ <0.05), and between the bruxism group and the "chronic pain" variable (ρ <0.05). Conclusion: Students have self-perception of bruxism, however there were no significant differences in self-perception of bruxism between the two groups of students, and those with bruxism have at least 1 parafunctional habit.
