To determine the prevalence of self-reported bruxism, awareness of bruxism's adverse effects, and bruxism management among Thai undergraduate dental students.
An online self-reported questionnaire was designed and tested for validity and reliability and then distributed to dental students at 12 universities in Thailand from September 2020 to January 2021.
There were 464 respondents (338 females and 126 males) with an average age of 21.42 ± 2.06 years. The prevalence of self-reported awake and sleep bruxism was 35.78% and 37.28%, respectively, and 19.40% had both awake and sleep bruxism. Awareness scores were higher for dentists than for patients (< 0.001). Only 12.14% of sleep bruxers still wear an occlusal splint for bruxism management.
The prevalence of self-reported awake and sleep bruxism was high among Thai dental students. They are well aware of the adverse effects of bruxism with inappropriate management of the condition.
确定泰国本科牙科学生中自我报告的磨牙症、对磨牙症不良影响的认识以及磨牙症管理的流行情况。
设计并测试了一个在线自我报告问卷，以评估其有效性和可靠性，然后于 2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 1 月期间分发给泰国 12 所大学的牙科学生。
共有 464 名受访者（338 名女性和 126 名男性），平均年龄为 21.42±2.06 岁。自我报告的清醒磨牙症和睡眠磨牙症的患病率分别为 35.78%和 37.28%，19.40%的人同时患有清醒磨牙症和睡眠磨牙症。与患者相比，牙医对磨牙症的认识得分更高（<0.001）。只有 12.14%的睡眠磨牙症患者仍在使用咬合夹板来管理磨牙症。
泰国牙科学生自我报告的清醒磨牙症和睡眠磨牙症患病率较高。他们对磨牙症的不良影响有很好的认识，但对该病症的管理却不恰当。
