Abstract
Objective: Poor sleep quality and psychosocial impairment are reported to be important aetiological factors for the presence of awake bruxism (AB) although with its absence of certainty. Therefore, this preliminary study aimed to investigate the relation between polysomnography (PSG) objective sleep metrics and psychosocial factors in the presence of possible AB in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) individuals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 38 OSA individuals (47.02 ± 15.01 years). All participants underwent in-laboratory PSG, and objective sleep metrics were analysed. The presence of possible AB was evaluated by the Oral Behaviour Checklist (OBC), and psychosocial factors were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-T), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Student's t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were performed for proper comparisons (significance level of 5%).
Results: 39.47% (15 individuals) were diagnosed with possible AB. Objective sleep metrics and psychosocial variables did not significantly differ between those with and without possible AB (p > 0.050).
Conclusions: This study elucidates that sleep quality and psychosocial profile seem not to be different regarding possible AB presence when analysed by PSG recording. More studies comparing the subjective and objective sleep parameters and the real role of psychosocial variables in the presence of AB should be performed.
期刊介绍：
Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research - Genes, Growth and Development is published to serve its readers as an international forum for the presentation and critical discussion of issues pertinent to the advancement of the specialty of orthodontics and the evidence-based knowledge of craniofacial growth and development. This forum is based on scientifically supported information, but also includes minority and conflicting opinions.
The objective of the journal is to facilitate effective communication between the research community and practicing clinicians. Original papers of high scientific quality that report the findings of clinical trials, clinical epidemiology, and novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches are appropriate submissions. Similarly, we welcome papers in genetics, developmental biology, syndromology, surgery, speech and hearing, and other biomedical disciplines related to clinical orthodontics and normal and abnormal craniofacial growth and development. In addition to original and basic research, the journal publishes concise reviews, case reports of substantial value, invited essays, letters, and announcements.
The journal is published quarterly. The review of submitted papers will be coordinated by the editor and members of the editorial board. It is policy to review manuscripts within 3 to 4 weeks of receipt and to publish within 3 to 6 months of acceptance.
