Bruxism and Underlying Psichological Factors

Recruiting

• Conditions: Bruxism; Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; Muscular Disorders, Atrophic
• Interventions: Other: No intervention

• Registration Number: NCT06289608
• Lead Sponsor: University of Salamanca

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was o determine the relationship between self-reported bruxism (SB) and some psychological factors (i.e: Anxiety State-Trait; Stress Reactivity Index, Beck Depression Inventory). A consecutive sample of 101 patients that reported at least 2 of the 6 items of Bruxism self-reported index, were explored clinically for quantifying the number and severity of worn teeth, and also the severe and location of the muscular pain according to an standardized inventory.

Detailed Description

The Bruxism Self-Reported Index was that reported by Pintado et al.

Pintado MR, Anderson GC, DeLong R, Douglas WH. Variation in tooth wear in young adults over a two-year period. J Prosthet Dent. 1997;77:313-320.

The muscular pain was assessed by the last version of the Research Diagnostic Criteria reported by the Schiffman et al in 2014

Schiffman E, et al ; International RDC/TMD Consortium Network, International association for Dental Research; Orofacial Pain Special Interest Group, International Association for the Study of Pain. Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) for Clinical and Research Applications: recommendations of the International RDC/TMD Consortium Network\* and Orofacial Pain Special Interest Group†.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Self-reported Bruxism	No intervention	Those dental patients responding positively to at least 2 of the 6 items of the Pintado et al Self-reported Bruxism Inventory

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Depression Level	baseline	Beck Depression Index. The score range between 0-63, being proprotional to the current depression level
Stress Level	baseline	Stress Reactitivy Index: Each of the 32 items are coded in a 4-point likert scale format, being 4 the worst category. The summary score is a proportional estimation of the stress level and range from 0-0.5 (minor stress), 0.6-1 (moderate stress) and \>1 (severe stress)
Anxiety	baseline	State-Trait Inventory has two estimation of anxiety, as a trait (assessed by 26 items) and as a transitory state (assessed by 20 items). All the items are coded in a 0-3 likert scale. The total score is proportional to the anxiety, being the threshold for determining anxiety above 20 points in male and 25 in females.
