Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of patient education and related factors on oral behaviors (OBs) in patients with temporomandibular joint degenerative diseases.
Methods: Sixty-three patients were included. Temporomandibular joint specialists conducted clinical examinations, provided patient education, and administered the Oral Behavior Checklist (OBC) questionnaire at baseline. Patients were followed up at 6 months.
Results: Eight OBs showed a high incidence among patients. At the 6-month follow-up, the incidence of 6 of the OBs decreased, all of which were high incidence OBs. The frequency of 9 OBs decreased, of which 8 were high incidence OBs. The average OBC score decreased from 22.97 ± 9.30 to 17.90 ± 9.28. Age, education level, and original OBC score had a significant effect on OB improvement.
Conclusion: Patient education and the corresponding treatment are conducive to OB improvement. The related factors affecting the improvement in patients' OBs were age, education level, and OB severity.
