evaluate whether different disciplines of education had any impact on

different disciplines of education, and to assess the potential relationship
between smoking and possible bruxism. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> <b>Methods: </b> <span lang="en-us" style="text-align:justify;font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">The study was conducted retrospectively using

significantly more prevalent in engineering students and males (p <0.05).

compared to non-smokers, the difference was not significant. Neither gender nor
