Objetivos: Verificar qual é a prevalência de bruxismo num grupo de crianças, bem como, a relação entre os diferentes fatores etiológicos e a sua influência no bruxismo. Analisar o conhecimento por parte dos responsáveis das crianças relativamente ao tema. Identificar quais os fatores que o médico dentista pode avaliar para o diagnóstico do bruxismo e qual o tratamento habitualmente aplicado.
Métodos: Estudo transversal, por aplicação de dois questionários online, um dirigido a responsáveis de crianças com idades entre os 2 e os 12 anos e outro realizado a médicos dentistas que atendem crianças destas idades.
Resultados: A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 72 responsáveis de crianças e 31 médicos dentistas. 58,33 % das crianças apresentava bruxismo e em 56,76% a frequência da parafunção tendia a aumentar com a ansiedade. Os distúrbios do sono e a prática de desportos estão relacionados com a presença de bruxismo. Das 42 crianças bruxómanas, 80,95% tinha pelo menos um familiar com bruxismo. As manifestações identificadas com mais frequência pelos médicos dentistas foram desgastes dentários e maloclusão (64,52 % e 87,10 %, respetivamente). Dos profissionais questionados, 45,16 % referiu não realizar qualquer tratamento, no entanto, 87,10 % encaminhou para outras especialidades.
Conclusão: Os distúrbios do sono, a prática de desportos, familiares com bruxismo e ansiedade encontram-se relacionados com o bruxismo. Faixa etária, gênero, problemas respiratórios, síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono e o número de horas de sono não apresentam relação com o hábito.
Objectives: Verify the prevalence of bruxism in a group of children as well as the relationship between the different etiological factors and the development or worsening of bruxism. Assess the knowledge by the caregivers regarding the topic. Identify which factors the dentist can evaluate for the diagnosis of bruxism and which treatment is usually used. Methods: Cross-sectional study using two online questionaires, one is filled in by parents/legal guardians of children from 2 to 12 years old and the other by dentists who attend children between those ages. Results: The sample of this study consisted of 72 guardians of children and 31 dentists. 58,33 % of the children had bruxism and in 56,76 % the frequency of the parafunction tended to increase with anxiety. Sleep disorders and the practice of sports, mostly football, are related to the development of bruxism. Of the 42 bruxism children, 80,95 % had at least one family member with bruxism. The manifestations most frequently identified by dentists were dental wear and malocclusions (64,52 % and 87,10 %, respectively). Of the professionals surveyed, 45,16 % reported not performing any treatment, however, 87,10 % claimed referral to other specialties Conclusion: Sleep disorders, sports practice, family members with bruxism and anxiety are related to bruxism. Age, gender, respiratory problems, sleep apnea syndrome and the number of hours of sleep are not related to the habit.
