Prevalence and associated factors to sleep bruxism in adolescents from Teresina, Piauí

ABSTRACT:

Introduction:

Sleep bruxism (SB) is defined as a repetitive jaw muscle activity whose epidemiology in adolescents has been little studied. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of sleep bruxism and associated factors in adolescents.

Methodology:

The sample consisted of 594 students aged 11 to 14 years old from Teresina, Piauí, Brazil. Self-administered questionnaire was answered by parents/caregivers and dental clinical examination was performed. Pearson’s chi-squared test was used to assess the association between SB and independent variables. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance was applied, with results expressed in prevalence ratio (PR).

Results:

The prevalence of SB in adolescents was 22.2%. Multivariate analysis showed a higher prevalence of SB in male gender adolescents (PR = 1.41; 95%CI 1.04 - 1.89), presenting snoring (PR = 1.39; 95%CI 1.02 - 1.89) and difficulty falling asleep (PR = 1.92; 95%CI 1.38 - 2.66).

Conclusion:

SB is a frequent condition in adolescents, and the factors associated with its prevalence were: male sex, snoring and difficulty falling asleep.

RESUMO:

Introdução:

Bruxismo do sono (BS) é uma atividade muscular repetitiva cuja epidemiologia em adolescentes tem sido pouco estudada. Este estudo observacional transversal objetivou determinar a prevalência e os fatores associados ao BS em adolescentes.

Metodologia:

A amostra foi constituída de 594 escolares na faixa etária de 11 a 14 anos de Teresina, Piauí, Brasil. Os instrumentos de coleta dos dados foram questionário direcionado aos pais/responsáveis e exame clínico dentário. Para se verificar associação entre BS e variáveis independentes, o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson foi aplicado, bem como análise de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, com resultados expressos em razão de prevalência (RP).

Resultados:

A prevalência de BS foi de 22,2%. Na análise multivariada foi observada maior prevalência de BS em adolescentes do sexo masculino (RP = 1,41; intervalo de confiança de 95% - IC95% 1,04 - 1,89), com relato de ronco (RP = 1,39; IC95% 1,02 - 1,89) e dificuldades para dormir (RP = 1,92; IC95% 1,38 - 2,66).

Conclusão:

BS é uma condição frequente em adolescentes, e os fatores associados à sua prevalência foram: sexo masculino, ronco e dificuldades para dormir.

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of SB and associated factors in adolescents from Teresina, Piauí.

METHODOLOGY

ETHICAL ASPECTS

This is a cross-sectional observational study carried out after approval by the Research Ethics Committee, Protocol no. 508.040/CAAE 03362112.1.0000.5214, from Universidade Federal do Piauí (UFPI), Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, conducted in accordance to Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council.

SAMPLE

The study population was composed of adolescents aged between 11 and 14 years, enrolled in public and private schools in the city - which, according to data from the Municipal Education Department of Teresina, in 2011, accounted for 54,056 students.

The type of sampling adopted was complex conglomerates, with proportional allocation at each stage. The first stage consisted of areas of the city (20.8% north, 21.0% south, 17.0% southeast, 21.6% east and 19.6% downtown). The second stage, by the school models (25.9% private, 27.0% of the state public network and 47.1% of the municipal public network). The first sampling unit was defined by the schools; the second, by classes; and the third, by the students.

To calculate the sample size, a prevalence of 35.3% (~ 36.0%)88. Serra-Negra JM, Paiva SM, Seabra AP, Dorella C, Lemos BF, Pordeus IA. Prevalence of sleep bruxism in a group of Brazilian schoolchildren. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2010; 11(4): 192-5. DOI: 10.1007/BF03262743
https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03262743...
, with a 95% confidence interval (95%CI) and a 4% error margin, was considered. Because this is a multi-stage sample, the effect of the design was corrected by a factor of 1.5 (deff). For the sample calculation, the Epi InfoTM (version 3.5.2; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA) was used. The calculation was obtained by the following Equation 1:

n = d e f f 2 p q N ɛ 2 N + 2 p q (1)

In which

n is the sample that was calculated,

is the confidence level,

pq is the variance of the occurring phenomenon,

N is the population,

ε is the sample error.

From this formula, a sample size of 524 adolescents was obtained and 20% was added to compensate eventual losses, totaling 629 individuals asked to participate in the study.

A random sorting of the schools, classes and schoolchildren was carried out according to the city zones and the type of institution, as described in Table 1. The individuals that were present on the day of data collection were included in the study and, together with the parents/guardians, authorized the participation.

Table 1:
Number of adolescents to be analyzed, distribution by school networks and location zone.

CALIBRATION

For the standardization of the diagnosis of tooth wear, clinical examiner training was carried out by teachers at the UFPI Children’s Dental Clinic, who were experienced in epidemiological studies. Twenty adolescents who did not participate in the study were examined for intra-examiner agreement, obtaining a kappa value of 0.9. To this end, the subjects were examined twice, with an interval of two weeks.

PILOT STUDY

Before data collection, a pilot study was conducted with 52 adolescents from schools that did not participate in the sample, in order to evaluate the methods. There was no need to make changes to the methodology initially proposed.

DATA COLLECTION

Data collection was carried out from September to November 2013. Prior authorization was requested from the directors of the school units selected for the research. The principals sent a letter to the adolescents’ parents informing them that their children had been selected to participate in the study. The terms of consent and the parents’ questionnaire were attached to the letters.

As there was no questionnaire validated on the subject studied, the questionnaire addressed to parents was prepared based on the literature11.

DATA ANALYSIS

The data were scanned and analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® (SPSS) software version 18.0 for Windows. Pearson’s chi-squared test was applied to verify the association between the presence of SB and the independent variables. Poisson regression analysis with robust variance associated socioeconomic and clinical variables with a higher prevalence of SB. P-values ≤ 0.05, with 95%CI were considered statistically significant. In the multivariate analysis, a Backward Stepwise process was used. Variables with p ≤ 0.20 in the bivariate analysis were included in the model. The results were expressed in prevalence ratio (PR), measure of effect for prevalence studies.

RESULTS

A total of 594 (94.4%) of the 629 adolescents selected were included in the final sample. The prevalence of SB was 22.2%. The majority of the adolescents were females (63.1%), public school students (74.1%), with a family income below the current minimum wage (55.2%). Wear was observed in 579 teeth (76.6% in incisors and 9% in molars) of 80.64% of the adolescents examined.

The distribution of independent variables associated with SB is described in Table 2. Positive association was observed in the bivariate analysis between SB and gender, age, anxious behavior, morning headache, snoring and sleep quality (p < 0.05).

Distribution of independent variables associated with sleep bruxism (n = 594).

The PRs obtained in the multivariate analysis of the variables associated to SB are presented in Table 3. Males (PR = 1.41; 95%CI 1.04 - 1.89), snoring (PR = 1.39; 95%CI 1.02 - 1.89) and sleep difficulties (PR = 1.92; 95%CI 1.38 - 2.66) were associated with a higher prevalence of SB in the final model.

DISCUSSION

The present study contributes to the current state of knowledge by pointing out prevalence and factors associated with SB in an age group in which evidence is limited.

SB is a frequent condition in adolescents in Teresina, and the prevalence of SB found was higher than that reported for youngsters from another age group66.

and for adults2525. Manfredini D, Winocur E, Guarda-Nardini L, Paesani D, Lobbezoo F. Epidemiology of bruxism in adults: a systematic review of the literature. J Orofac Pain 2013; 27(2): 99-110. DOI: 10.11607/jop.921

, although the prevalence reported in children is variable55. Machado E, Dal-Fabbro C, Cunali PA, Kaizer OB. Prevalence of sleep bruxism in children: a systematic review. Dental Press J Orthod 2014; 19(6): 54-61. DOI: 10.1590/2176-9451.19.6.054-061.oar

. Studies have mentioned that the prevalence of SB decreases with age99. Lam MH, Zhang J, Li AM, Wing YK.

In population-based studies, it is possible that the prevalence is underestimated, because the diagnosis is made through the reports of parents, who do not always sleep in the same space as the individuals investigated1111. Vieira-Andrade RG, Drumond CL, Martins-Junior PA, Corrêa-Faria P, Gonzaga GC, Marques LS, et al. Prevalence of sleep bruxism and associated factors in preschool children. Pediatr Dent 2014; 36(1): 46-50.. This is a limitation to be considered when interpreting the results. The comparison between prevalence studies is also hampered by the use of different ages within the age groups, diagnostic methods and non-specification of the form of bruxism - sleep or daytime11. Lobbezoo F, Ahlberg J, Glaros AG, Kato T, Koyano K, Lavigne GJ, et al. Bruxism defined and graded: an international consensus. J Oral Rehabil 2013; 40(1): 2-4. DOI: 10.1111/joor.12011

The present study observed that boys present a higher prevalence of SB than girls, a result that corroborates those presented by Renner et al.1212.

. However, it disagrees with the observation of Serra Negra et al.88. Serra-Negra JM, Paiva SM, Seabra AP, Dorella C, Lemos BF, Pordeus IA. Prevalence of sleep bruxism in a group of Brazilian schoolchildren. Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2010; 11(4): 192-5. DOI: 10.1007/BF03262743
https://doi.org/10.1007/BF03262743...
, who conducted a study with a different age group. The prevalence of SB in males may represent a characteristic of SB distribution in this age group, and may be related to the fact that boys are more agitated and, in general, motivated to contain their emotions, which would favor the occurrence of involuntary movements1212. Renner AC, Silva AA, Rodriguez JD, Simões VM, Barbieri MA, Bettiol H, et al. Are mental health problems and depression associated with bruxism in children? Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 2012; 40(3): 277-87. DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0528.2011.00644.x
https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0528.2011...
.

In the current study, SB was associated with the adolescent’s age, as in another study2727. Kato T, Velly AM, Nakane T, Matsuda Y, Maki S. Age is associated with self-reported sleep bruxism, independently of tooth loss. Sleep Breath 2012; 16(4): 1159-65. DOI: 10.1007/s11325-011-0625-7

. Investigations are still needed to explain the mechanism involved2727. Kato T, Velly AM, Nakane T, Matsuda Y, Maki S. Age is associated with self-reported sleep bruxism, independently of tooth loss. Sleep Breath 2012; 16(4): 1159-65. DOI: 10.1007/s11325-011-0625-7

verified a lower SB frequency in individuals older than 12 years, which was not verified in the present study. However, they mentioned that the observation may be related to the fact that the parents visit their children in their room less frequently after reaching that age, influencing the reports1919.

Frequent psychosocial factors in adolescence, such as stress, anxiety, depression, neuroticism, hyperactivity, mental and emotional health problems have been associated with the presence of SB55.

have mentioned that repetitive muscle contractions may be associated with tension headache or both conditions may share common risk factors with no causal relationship. Nevertheless, we recommend that studies with designs that allow the investigation of this hypothesis are conducted.

The presence of snoring was one of the factors associated with the higher prevalence of SB, corroborating the results presented by other authors99. Lam MH, Zhang J, Li AM, Wing YK.

. However, such an association needs to be better elucidated.

Problems related to sleep quality are common symptomatic consequences reported in individuals with bruxism2222. Ahlberg J, Lobbezoo F, Ahlberg K, Manfredini D, Hublin C, Sinisalo J, et al. Self-reported bruxism mirrors anxiety and stress in adults. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal 2013; 18(1): e7-11. DOI: 10.4317/medoral.18232
https://doi.org/10.4317/medoral.18232...
, a finding that was also confirmed in our results. Higher prevalence of SB was found in individuals with difficulty sleeping. One possible justification is that SB has been described as a complex nervous system excitation response, which can be accompanied by body movements, increased heart rate, and respiratory changes2222. Ahlberg J, Lobbezoo F, Ahlberg K, Manfredini D, Hublin C, Sinisalo J, et al. Self-reported bruxism mirrors anxiety and stress in adults. Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal 2013; 18(1): e7-11. DOI: 10.4317/medoral.18232
https://doi.org/10.4317/medoral.18232...
.

CONCLUSION

Sleep bruxism is a frequent condition in adolescents, and the factors associated with their higher prevalence were: male sex, snoring and difficulty sleeping.
