Bruxism Awareness Prior to Dental Implant Treatment

NCT07088887 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 150

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Bruxism is a parafunctional habit characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or mandibular thrusting, which may occur during sleep or wakefulness. It is associated with various dental complications, including implant failures. Despite its prevalence, awareness of bruxism among patients remains limited, and diagnostic methods vary. This study aims to evaluate the presence and type of bruxism in patients undergoing dental implant treatment and to assess their awareness levels. The findings may help prevent implant-related complications by supporting early identification and appropriate management of bruxism.

Research Questions What is the prevalence of awake and sleep bruxism in patients scheduled for dental implant treatment?

To what extent are patients aware of their bruxism habits prior to treatment?

What are the most common signs and symptoms of bruxism observed in this patient group?

Is there a correlation between patients' self-reported bruxism and clinical findings?

Can increased bruxism awareness before implant procedures help reduce the risk of future implant and prosthetic complications?

control group

The control group included patients aged 18-65 who were systemically healthy, had no clinical or self-reported signs of bruxism, and were eligible for implant treatment. Data collected included demographic characteristics (age, gender), systemic and periodontal health status, and clinical examination findings confirming the absence of bruxism. These patients also completed the Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI) to assess temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms and the Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14) to evaluate emotional stress levels. A bruxism awareness questionnaire was also applied to determine baseline knowledge in individuals without bruxism. All assessments were conducted before implant surgery using standardized diagnostic tools.
