ALCOLEA RODRIGUEZ, José Rolando et al. Bruxism Association with Biosocial Factors. CCM [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.190-202. ISSN 1560-4381.

Introduction: bruxism is defined as the functional act of pressing the teeth, which is related with local, systemic, psychic and occupation factors that may cause a very high morbidity. Objective: to determine the bruxism association with biosocial factors. Method: an analytic control cases research was carried out, from January to June of 2012, at Dental Clinic of Bayamo, Granma Province. The universe comprised 435 patients between 35-54 years admitted during the period, and the sample was represented by 80 patients (40 for each group). The studied variables were: bruxism, education level, labor bond, occlusal interferences, necessity of rehabilitation denture for toothless and dysfunctions in the temporomandibular  joint, classified as nominal qualitative dichotomy, considering the absolute frequencies, the association was determined among them by the test X2 when p < 0.05 and Odds Ratio (OR), with confidence intervals of 95 %. Results: the results showed the causal relationship between bruxism with education level (OR = 6.40) IC [2,35 - 17,15], labor bond (OR = 10,50) IC [3,39-32,52], occlusal interferences (OR = 7,86) IC [2,79-22,16], the necessity of denture rehabilitation (OR=16 ,24) IC [5,39. 48,91] and the temporomandibular joint dysfunctions (OR=4 ,27) IC [1,53. 11,88]. Conclusions: the labor bond as factor that causes stress, the necessity of rehabilitation denture were the causal factors of most influence due to its influence on the occlusion relationship.
