Bruxism is a repetitive masticatory muscle activity with a multifactorial etiology , that can be associated to emotional factors.
The aim of the study is to identify the presence of oral habits (OHs) and their association with the trait of anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children [STAI-C]) in pediatric patients with possible sleep bruxism (PSB).
Children between 3 and 12 years of age with PSB reported by their parents with complete deciduous or mixed dentition were included in the present study. Sociodemographic data (SD) as well as those on OHs such as only natural (ON), artificial breastfeeding (OA) or both (NA), finger sucking (FS), pacifier use (PC), and biting nails (BN) or objects (OB) were obtained through an interview with the parents/guardians answered the Brazilian version of the STAI-C questionnaire.
SD and OH as well as STAI-C findings were descriptively evaluated, while the associations between OH and STAI-C with PSB were evaluated using the Chi-square test (P < 0.05).
The final sample was 52 children (6.62 ± 1.8 years). Of these, 51.9% were males, 82.7% reported not living in social risk areas, and 21.2% were only children. Considering the OH, patients participated in ON (26.9%), OA (9.6%), and both (63.5%); 13.5% had an FS habit and 46.2% had related PC use; and 80.8% were reported to have OB biting behaviors, while 53.8% participated in BN. The STAI-C was present in 25 (48.1%) patients with PSB and was not associated with the presence of OH.
There is no association between STAI-C and OH in pediatric patients with PSB.
磨牙症是一种病因多因素的重复性咀嚼肌活动，可能与情绪因素有关。
本研究旨在确定可能患有睡眠磨牙症（PSB）的儿科患者中口腔习惯（OHs）的存在情况及其与焦虑特质（儿童状态-特质焦虑量表[STAI-C]）的关联。
本研究纳入了年龄在3至12岁之间、父母报告患有PSB且乳牙列或混合牙列完整的儿童。通过与父母/监护人访谈获取社会人口统计学数据（SD）以及关于OHs的数据，如仅自然喂养（ON）、人工喂养（OA）或两者兼有（NA）、吮指（FS）、使用安抚奶嘴（PC）以及咬指甲（BN）或咬其他物品（OB），父母/监护人回答巴西版的STAI-C问卷。
对SD、OH以及STAI-C的结果进行描述性评估，同时使用卡方检验评估OH和STAI-C与PSB之间的关联（P < 0.05）。
最终样本为52名儿童（6.62 ± 1.8岁）。其中，51.9%为男性，82.7%报告不住在社会风险地区，21.2%为独生子女。考虑OHs，患者中仅自然喂养的占26.9%，人工喂养的占9.6%，两者兼有的占63.5%；13.5%有吮指习惯，46.2%使用安抚奶嘴；80.8%报告有咬其他物品的行为，53.8%咬指甲。25名（48.1%）患有PSB的患者存在STAI-C，且与OHs的存在无关。
患有PSB的儿科患者中，STAI-C与OHs之间无关联。
