The effect of Khat and Shammah habits, with the parafunctional jaw activities that accompany them, on the integrity of the natural dentition, dental restorations, and prostheses has not yet been investigated. This study is the first attempt to identify the patterns of restorative failure among Khat chewers and Shammah users in Jazan City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 294 recruits among dental clinics in Jazan City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from October 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The patients were surveyed and examined to identify the type of restorations/prosthesis they had and their failures. Bivariate analysis was conducted to investigate the association of the restorative failure with the demographic variables. General linear model was performed to investigate the association between restorations/prostheses failure and Khat/Shammah use with the controlling factors of age and gender as independent variables.
Khat/Shammah use was statistically significantly associated with restorative failure (p < 0.05) relative to amalgam, composite, crowns, fixed partial dentures, removable partial dentures, and complete dentures. In addition, a significant association of restorative failure was observed with gender, education, and brushing.
Consumption of Khat/Shammah may be attributed as one of the reasons associated with restorative failure among the Saudi population.
巧茶和沙马咀嚼习惯及其伴随的副功能颌活动对天然牙列、牙齿修复体和假牙完整性的影响尚未得到研究。本研究首次尝试确定沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞市巧茶咀嚼者和沙马使用者中修复失败的模式。
2015年10月1日至2016年4月30日,在沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞市的牙科诊所对294名招募对象进行了一项横断面研究。对患者进行调查和检查,以确定他们所拥有的修复体/假牙类型及其失败情况。进行双变量分析以研究修复失败与人口统计学变量之间的关联。以年龄和性别作为自变量的控制因素,采用一般线性模型研究修复体/假牙失败与巧茶/沙马使用之间的关联。
相对于汞合金、复合树脂、牙冠、固定局部义齿、可摘局部义齿和全口义齿,巧茶/沙马的使用与修复失败在统计学上具有显著相关性(p < 0.05)。此外,观察到修复失败与性别、教育程度和刷牙之间存在显著关联。
食用巧茶/沙马可能是沙特人群中与修复失败相关的原因之一。
