To evaluate the possible relationship between bruxism and smartphone overuse and assess the potential role of anxiety and depression in this relationship. The null hypothesis was that there was no significant difference between sleep bruxism (SB) and/or awake bruxism (AB) and non-bruxers in the level of smartphone overuse, anxiety, and depression.
In total, 167 dental students were included in this study. They were evaluated using the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) criteria, Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). T-test and chi-square test were used to compare the means and percentages between groups.
A higher percentage of sleep bruxers were high smartphone users (60.3%) compared to non-SBs (44.2%). The frequencies of high smartphone users among participants with high anxiety and depression were higher than those with low anxiety and depression.
SB and high smartphone use were positively associated.
评估磨牙症与过度使用智能手机之间的可能关系，并评估焦虑和抑郁在这种关系中的潜在作用。零假设是在智能手机过度使用、焦虑和抑郁水平方面，睡眠磨牙症（SB）和/或清醒磨牙症（AB）与非磨牙症者之间没有显著差异。
共有 167 名牙科学生参与了这项研究。他们根据美国睡眠医学学会（AASM）标准、智能手机成瘾量表（SAS）、贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）进行评估。使用 t 检验和卡方检验比较组间均值和百分比。
与非 SB 者（44.2%）相比，更多的睡眠磨牙症者是重度智能手机使用者（60.3%）。焦虑和抑郁程度较高的参与者中，重度智能手机使用者的比例高于焦虑和抑郁程度较低的参与者。
SB 与重度智能手机使用呈正相关。
