Stress may affect the function of all the components of the masticatory system and may ultimately lead to differentiated symptoms and finally to systemic and structural dysfunctions.
To determine the effect of stress on the masticatory muscles function in young healthy adults.
A total of 201 young, Angle's first class, healthy volunteers, 103 female and 98 male, in the age between 18 and 21 years were recruited into the study. All the participants underwent clinical examination according to the Slavicek scheme, questionnaire survey according to Perceived Stress Scale, and assessment of masticatory muscles function in central occlusion.
Symptoms of masticatory system dysfunction were found in the group of 86 subjects (46,24%). All the muscles activity in central occlusion was comparable in female and male groups. Mean values of masseters activities in the group of low stress subjects (75,52 µV±15,97) were statistically different from the groups with medium (82,43 µV±15,04) and high (81,33±12,05) perceived stress (P<0.05).
Chronic stress may reveal or exacerbate symptoms of masticatory dysfunction.
压力可能会影响咀嚼系统所有组成部分的功能,并最终导致不同的症状,最终引发全身性功能和结构功能障碍。
确定压力对年轻健康成年人咀嚼肌功能的影响。
本研究共招募了201名年龄在18至21岁之间、安氏I类咬合关系的年轻健康志愿者,其中女性103名,男性98名。所有参与者均按照斯拉维切克方案进行临床检查,按照感知压力量表进行问卷调查,并评估正中咬合时咀嚼肌的功能。
在86名受试者(46.24%)中发现了咀嚼系统功能障碍的症状。正中咬合时所有肌肉的活动在女性组和男性组中相当。低压力受试者组咬肌活动的平均值(75.52 μV±15.97)与中度(82.43 μV±15.04)和高度(81.33±12.05)感知压力组相比有统计学差异(P<0.05)。
慢性压力可能会揭示或加重咀嚼功能障碍的症状。
