Abstract

The objective was to verify the relationship between Symptoms of Temporomandibular DIsorders (TMD), bruxism, stress, and sociodemographic factors in university students. Questionnaires were applied to 362 dentistry students, aged between 17 and 56 years of both sexes. Data collection was performed using the Orofacial Pain and TMD screening questionnaire recommended by the American Academy of Orofacial Pain, Bruxism symptoms questionnaire based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine criteria, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14), and a structured sociodemographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression, considering a significance level of 5%. TMD symptoms were reported by 60%, bruxism by 37%, and stress by 52% of university students evaluated. It was found that female college students who study at night and with stress have 3.36 (95%CI: 1.87-6.01), 1.71 (95%CI: 1.05-2.79), and 1.90 (95%CI: 1.17-3.08) times more chance, respectively, of having at least one TMD symptom (P<0.05). People with one, two, and three or more symptoms of bruxism are 3.24 (95%CI: 1.57-6.69), 4.62 (95%CI: 1.91-11.16), and 18.75 (95%CI: 4.39-80.13) times more likely, respectively, to present TMD than people without bruxism symptoms (P<0.05). It is concluded that there was an association between the presence of TMD symptoms, bruxism, and stress.
