The objective of this study was to examine the association between sleep bruxism and psychological stress. The subjects consisted of 76 volunteers, who were divided into those with and without bruxism according to the diagnostic criteria for sleep bruxism outlined by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). Stress sensitivity was evaluated before and after an experimental stress task, which involved simple mathematical calculations. It was assessed objectively by measuring the subjects' salivary chromogranin A (CgA) levels and subjectively using a ten-division visual analog scale (VAS). Compared with those observed before the stress task, the mean salivary CgA levels of the non-bruxism group (n = 54) were not significantly increased after the stress task. Conversely, the mean salivary CgA levels of the bruxism group (n = 22) were significantly increased after the stress task (P < 0.01). The mean VAS scores of the groups without (n = 54) and with (n = 22) bruxism were significantly (P < 0.01) increased after the stress task compared with those observed before the stress task, but no differences were detected between the two groups in the stress task. These findings suggest that there is an association between sleep bruxism and psychological stress sensitivity.Oral habits such as bruxism are thought to affect temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and might have a relatively strong effect on the durability of prosthetic appliances (20,30). Bruxism, which is defined as clenching or grinding of the teeth, or a combination of both, is a diurnal or nocturnal parafunctional activity and has long been regarded as requiring treatment (5). It is thought that bruxism is associated with psychological stress (1,2,8,10,22). On the other hand, some studies did not find any association between bruxism and stress (15,19). The following reasons might explain this disagreement. In most of the above studies, diurnal bruxism and sleep bruxism were not distinguished from each other, and there were variations in the methods used to evaluate oral habits. In addition, differing definitions of stress and various methods for assessing stress were employed in these studies (17). Also, in these studies, stress was evaluated subjectively, such as by self-reporting, questionnaires, etc. Thus, the relationship between bruxism and stress is much more complex than previously imagined and involves many psychosocial factors (17). When humans are exposed to psychological stressors, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the sympathoadrenal medullary (SAM) system are activated (9,13,26). This results in changes of biomarkers, e.g., cortisol and/or chromogranin, etc., being secreted into the serum or saliva. Therefore, stress can be objectively evaluated by analyz-

OBJECTIVES. Our aim for this study was to determine the prevalence of dyssomnias and various parasomnias in early childhood and to describe their temporal evolution, gender differences, and correlates.METHODS. This research is part of a longitudinal study of child development. A randomized, 3-level, stratified survey design was used to study a representative sample of infants who were born in 1997-1998 in the province of Quebec (Canada). When the children were 2.5 years of age, 1997 families agreed to be interviewed. The presence of dyssomnias or parasomnias was obtained from a self-administered questionnaire that was completed by the mother at each round of measures.RESULTS. The percentage of children with frequent night wakings decreased steadily from 36.3% at age 2.5 to 13.2% at age 6. Similarly, the percentage of children who had difficulty falling asleep at night decreased significantly from 16.0% at ages 3.5 and 4 to 10% at age 5 and to 7.4% at age 6. The overall prevalence of each parasomnia for the period studied was as follows: somnambulism, 14.5%; sleep terrors, 39.8%; somniloquy, 84.4%; enuresis, 25.0%; bruxism, 45.6%; and rhythmic movements, 9.2%. Persistent somnambulism at age 6 was significantly correlated with sleep terrors and somniloquy. Persistent sleep terrors at age 6 were also correlated with somniloquy. Finally, persistent sleep terrors at age 6 were correlated with frequent night wakings. Separation anxiety was associated with persistent night wakings and with somnambulism, bruxism, sleep terrors, and somniloquy.CONCLUSIONS. There is a high prevalence of night wakings and sleep-onset difficulties in preschool children. Parasomnias are highly prevalent in early childhood and are associated with separation anxiety. However, they have little impact on sleep duration.www.pediatrics.org/cgi

Objectives:This study aims to analyze the subjective and objective characteristics of tinnitus in sleep bruxism patients. Patients and Methods:The study included 57 patients (12 males; 45 females; mean age 33.89±12.50 years; range 19 to 55 years) with sleep bruxism and tinnitus (sleep bruxism group) and 24 patients (6 males, 18 females; mean age 43.75±16.19 years; range 21 to 58 years) only with tinnitus (control group). Sleep bruxism was diagnosed by the diagnostic criteria of American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Patients were performed pure tone audiometry to detect hearing thresholds at standard and high frequencies. Tinnitus frequency and loudness were assessed. Subjective aspects of tinnitus were identified by tinnitus handicap inventory. Results:The statistical analysis revealed that the sleep bruxism group had significantly lower hearing thresholds except 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz. Tinnitus frequency was between 3000 Hz and 18000 Hz in sleep bruxism group while it was between 6000 and 16000 Hz in control group with no statistically significant difference (p=0.362). Sleep bruxism group had significantly lower tinnitus loudness and tinnitus handicap inventory scores in comparison to control group (p=0.024 and p=0.000, respectively). Conclusion:Tinnitus caused by sleep bruxism and temporomandibular joint issues has higher frequency and lower loudness compared to patients with only tinnitus.Keywords: Bruxism; frequency; hearing; tinnitus handicap inventory; tinnitus. ÖZ Amaç:Bu yazıda uyku bruksizmi olan hastalarda tinnitusun öznel ve nesnel özellikleri incelendi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler:Çalışmaya uyku bruksizmi ve tinnitusu olan 57 hasta (12 erkek; 45 kadın; ort. yaş 33.89±12.50 yıl; dağılım 19-55 yıl) (uyku bruksizmi grubu) ile sadece tinnitusu olan 24 hasta (6 erkek, 18 kadın; ort. yaş 43.75±16.19 yıl; dağılım 21-58 yıl) (kontrol grubu) dahil edildi. Uyku bruksizmi tanısı Amerikan Uyku Tıbbı Akademisi diyagnostik kriterlerine göre konuldu. Hastalara saf ses odyometri uygulanarak standart ve yüksek frekanslardaki işitme eşikleri belirlendi. Tinnitus frekansı ve şiddeti değerlendirildi. Tinnitusun öznel yönleri tinnitus engel dökümü ile belirlendi. Bulgular: İstatistiksel değerlendirme uyku bruksizmi grubunda işitme eşiklerinin 1000 Hz ve 2000 Hz dışında anlamlı olarak daha düşük olduğunu gösterdi. Tinnitus frekansı uyku bruksizmi grubunda 3000 Hz ile 18000 Hz arasında iken kontrol grubunda 6000 Hz ile 16000 Hz arasındaydı ve farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p=0.362). Uyku bruksizmi grubunda tinnitus şiddeti ve tinnitus engel dökümü puanları kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (sırasıyla p=0.024 ve p=0.000).Sonuç: Uyku bruksizmi ve temporomandibüler eklem sorunlarına bağlı tinnitus yüksek frekanslıdır ve sadece tinnitusu olan hastalara göre daha az şiddetlidir.
