The Relationship Between Bruxism and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction in 7-11 Year Old Children

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate relation between bruxism and temporomandibular joint TMJ dysfunction in 7-11 year old children. Persons and Methods: Signs and/or symptoms were defined by being performed TMJ examination of 828 children between ages of 7-11 and TMJ dysfunction were diagnosed in case of presence of anyone of these. The children were interviewed for bruxism and the questionnaires answered by the parents were evaluated for bruxism diagnosis. Results: TMJ dysfunction was determined for 332 children, who was examined and bruxism was identified for 58 children. There was no statistically significant relationship between TMJ sounds, TMJ tenderness, muscle tenderness, restricted mouth opening and bruxism p>0,05 and there was no statistically significant relationship between pain symptom during opening mouth or mastication and bruxism p>0,05 . Only, bruxism was observed statistically associated with sound symptom during opening mouth or mastication p0,05 . Conclusion: It is concluded that bruxism seem to do not play a role in the development of TMJ dysfunction in children between the ages of 7-11

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 7-11 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda TME disfonksiyonu ve bruksizm arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Bireyler ve Yöntem: 7-11 yaş grubundaki 828 çocuğun TME muayenesi yapılarak semptomlar ve işaretler tesbit edilmişttir ve herhangi birinin varlığında TME disfonksiyonu tanısı konmuştur. Bruksizmi olan çocuklar görüşme ve ailelere verilen formlar yardımıyla belirlenmiştir. Bulgular : TME disfonksiyonu olan 332 çocuktan 58’inde bruksizm varlığı tesbit edilmiştir. TME sesleri, TME hassasiyeti, kas hassasiyeti, kısıtlı ağız açma, ağız açarken yada bir şey çiğnerken çene ekleminde ağrı varlığı ile bruksizmi olan ve olmayanlar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir p>0,05 . Sadece ağzını açarken yada bir şey çiğnerken çene ekleminden ses geldiğini söyleyen çocuklarda, bruksizm olan ve olmayanlar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur p0,05 . Sonuç: 7-11 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda bruksizm varlığının, TME disfonksiyonu gelişiminde belirgin rol oynamadığı gözlenmiştir.
