DETERMINANTS OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION AND BRUXISM IN ACADEMICIANS

Abstract

Purpose: Temporomandibular dysfunction and bruxism are common problems. Academicians have physical and emotional risk factors that may be associated with temporomandibular dysfunction due to excessive workload and psychological stress. The aim of this study was to reveal the emotional and physical determinants of temporomandibular dysfunction and bruxism in academicians. Methods: Two hundred and ninety-six (217 female and 79 male) academicians working in higher education institutions with a mean age of 35.31 ± 9.20 years, were included in the study. Daily computer time of the participants was questioned. International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Fonseca Anamnestic Index was applied via online surveys. Results: It was demonstrated that 92.9% of the participants were physically inactive or minimal active, 36% showed depressive symptoms, 69.2% had neck disability, 24 % had and moderate-severe temporomandibular dysfunction symptoms, and 44% had bruxism. Bruxers found to have higher BDI (p<0.05) and FAI (p<0.001) levels compared to non-bruxers. Significant positive correlations between FAI and BDI (r=0.316, p<0.001), FAI and NDI (r=0.526, p<0.001), BDI and NDI (r=0.527, p<0.001) was found. Presence of bruxism (β=0.361, p<0.001) and greater NDI (β=0.442, p<0.001) were each uniquely associated with greater FAI score. Daily computer time, IPAQ, and BDI were not associated with FAI score (p>0.05). Conclusion: Key factors of temporomandibular joint dysfunction appear to be physical parameters such as neck disability and bruxism in academics. However, psychological symptoms and physical activity level do not seem to be independent determinants of temporomandibular dysfunction.
