Abstract
Background: Clinically, data on the association of early-life secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure with sleep bruxism and dental problems are scarce.
Objective: To examine whether the relationship between early-life SHS exposure with sleep problems, sleep bruxism, and dental problems in children.
Methods: Within the scope of this study, questionnaires were applied to the volunteer parents of 710 children, aged 5-12 years old. The questionnaire applied in this study named as Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) and consists of seven subscales and a total of 33 items. The questionnaire was completed retrospectively by any parent, and the presence of sleep bruxism was questioned during the anamnesis. Afterward, the presence of dental decay and tooth wear was evaluated during intraoral and radiographic examinations. Dental decay and tooth wear were scored with the DMFT/deft index and tooth wear index of Smith & Knight, respectively.
Results: The presence of sleep bruxism was significantly higher in children with parasomnia (p = 0.01; p < 0.05). The presence of tooth wear in children with sleep bruxism was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.032; p < 0.05). It was observed that the presence of sleep bruxism was higher in the children of individuals who smoked at home (p = 0.027; p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Sleep bruxism, untreated dental decay and exposure to early-life secondhand smoke may have a negative impact on children's sleep habits and characteristics.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
