Study on the association between sleep disorders versus oral health related variables

Abstract

Background To study the association between sleep quality and oral health related variables, which still have conflicts in the literature. Material and Methods This was a population-based case-control study between subjects with versus without sleep disorders from the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS), city of Maringá (N=1,643). Subjects answered self-reported questionnaires: a) Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD), b) Sleep Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and c) North York Dental Health Survey (NYDHS). Results No significant difference was found for gender, marital status, or income; however, non-Caucasians, people with lower levels of education, and those between 20 to 50 years old had worse scores of sleep disorders in the SAQ. Self-perceived oral health, masticatory capacity to eat foods, and gingival bleeding was significantly worse among subjects with self-reported sleep disorders. Self-reported tooth loss, edentulism and use of removable partial dentures (with clasps) or complete dentures showed no significant difference between groups. Self-reported sleep disorder subjects presented significantly higher prevalence of both self-reported tooth and TMJ pain. Conclusions It can be concluded that individuals with self-reported sleep disorders presented worse self-perceived oral health for most studied variables. Key words: Oral health, case control study, sleep; review, gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth loss.

A world panorama of bruxism in children and adolescents with emphasis on associated sleep features: A bibliometric analysis

“…Sleep studies were another category studied in this bibliometric analysis due to its importance in recent years regarding bruxism and oral health 48 ⁠. Dental sleep medicine is a recent field that is growing rapidly and interacts with sleep medicine 49 ⁠.…”

“…Dental sleep medicine is a recent field that is growing rapidly and interacts with sleep medicine 49 ⁠. Oral health may influence and be influenced by sleep quality, given its interaction with craniofacial morphology 48,49 ⁠. A recent study demonstrated that patients with reported sleep disorders presented substantially more oral health problems than those without them 48 .…”

“…A recent study demonstrated that patients with reported sleep disorders presented substantially more oral health problems than those without them. 48 The number of published sleep studies associated with bruxism had great growth in the 21st century and presented aetiology and risk as the main subject. This was expected since sleep has been demonstrated as one of the main factors associated with childhood sleep bruxism 12,13,50 .…”

Enfermedad periodontal en pacientes con respiración bucal: Revisión de la literatura

“…Los trastornos del sueño se presentan con ciertas manifestaciones orales que incluyen gingivitis, periodontitis, sequedad bucal, halitosis, infecciones frecuentes de garganta (Padmanabhan et al, 2020). Los pacientes con trastornos del sueño han mostrado dolor relacionado con los dientes y problemas de sangrado gingival en comparación con quienes no los padecen (Cumpston & Chen, 2022;Pereira et al, 2021).…”
