Abstract
Objective: To assess the frequency of awake bruxism (AB) behaviors in a group of undergraduate dentistry students and correlate it with the status of anxiety and depression.
Materials and methods: The frequency of five oral behaviors (i.e., relaxed jaw muscle, teeth contact, mandible bracing, teeth clenching, teeth grinding) was evaluated using a smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) approach. The anxiety and depression status was investigated with the four-item patient health questionnaire for anxiety and depression (PHQ-4). ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc test was used to assess the difference in frequency of AB behaviors among the four PHQ-4 groups.
Results: Among the four groups, there was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of relaxed jaw muscle, teeth contact, mandible bracing, and teeth clenching, but not for teeth grinding.
Conclusion: Based on this cross-sectional study's findings, psyche seems to have a determinant impact on AB behaviors, which is significantly higher in individuals with anxiety and depression traits.
摘要评估一组口腔医学本科生清醒磨牙症(AB)行为的频率,并将其与焦虑和抑郁状况相关联:使用基于智能手机的生态瞬间评估(EMA)方法对五种口腔行为(即下颌肌肉放松、牙齿接触、下颌支撑、牙齿紧咬、磨牙)的频率进行评估。焦虑和抑郁状况通过四项焦虑和抑郁患者健康问卷(PHQ-4)进行调查。采用方差分析和Tukey事后检验来评估PHQ-4四组之间AB行为频率的差异:结果:在四个组别中,下颌肌肉放松、牙齿接触、下颌支撑和牙齿紧咬的频率差异有统计学意义,但磨牙的频率差异无统计学意义:结论:根据这项横断面研究的结果,心理似乎对 AB 行为有决定性的影响,焦虑和抑郁特质的人的 AB 行为明显更高。
