Abstract
Background: Bruxism is a global oral disorder that can negatively affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Nonetheless, there are few studies regarding police officers. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of probable bruxism on quality of life among police officers and their relatives.
Material and methods: This cross-sectional study included 243 police officers, and their relatives aged 18-70 years who attended the dental service of a Peruvian National Police Hospital. They were evaluated through a questionnaire of probable bruxism, including a clinical oral examination. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was also used to determine the impact of OHRQoL. Univariate and bivariate statistical analyses were performed. In addition, multivariate analysis was performed via the statistical program STATA version 18.
Results: The mean OHIP-14 score was 13.4 ± 8.0, and 48.6% of the participants had probable bruxism. Statistically significant differences were found in questionnaire domains such as physical pain (p=0.001), psychological distress (p=0.012), social disability (p=0.002) and handicap (p=0.007). Multivariate analysis, adjusted for age in years, sex, type of insurance, level of education and degree of dental wear showed the mean OHIP-14 total score was 2.38 points higher in patients with probable bruxism (95% CI; 0.75, 4.71).
Conclusions: Probable bruxism had a negative impact on the oral health-related quality of life of police officers and their relatives. Key words:Bruxism, quality of life, adults.
背景：磨牙是一种全球性的口腔疾病，可对口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）产生负面影响。然而，很少有关于警察的研究。本研究的目的是确定可能的磨牙症对警察及其亲属生活质量的影响。材料和方法：这项横断面研究包括243名在秘鲁国家警察医院牙科服务的18-70岁的警察及其亲属。他们通过一份可能的磨牙问卷进行评估，包括临床口腔检查。还使用口腔健康影响概况（OHIP-14）问卷来确定OHRQoL的影响。进行单变量和双变量统计分析。此外，通过统计程序STATA version 18进行多变量分析。结果：OHIP-14平均得分为13.4±8.0分，48.6%的受试者可能存在磨牙。在身体疼痛（p=0.001）、心理困扰（p=0.012）、社交障碍（p=0.002）和残疾（p=0.007）等问卷领域，差异均有统计学意义。经年龄、性别、保险类型、教育程度和牙齿磨损程度调整后的多因素分析显示，可能有磨牙的患者OHIP-14总分平均高出2.38分(95% CI；0.75, 4.71)。结论：可能的磨牙症对警察及其亲属的口腔健康相关生活质量有负面影响。关键词：磨牙症，生活质量，成人。
