RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar a prevalência e o grau de gravidade da DTM em policiais militares e analisar a associação entre DTM e hábitos parafuncionais.

Métodos:

Realizou-se uma pesquisa transversal com abordagem quantitativa. A amostra foi composta por 255 policiais militares, com idade entre 20 a 53 anos, de ambos os gêneros, nos estados do Maranhão, Pará e Tocantins. Foram utilizados três questionários para avaliar variáveis de caracterização amostral, prevalência e gravidade da DTM e hábitos parafuncionais. Os questionários foram enviados por plataforma eletrônica (Google Forms). Foram utilizados o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson ou o teste Exato de Fisher e Odds Ratio.

Resultados:

Observou-se a presença da Disfunção Temporomandibular em 66,3% dos pesquisados, dos quais 40,4% apresentaram a disfunção no grau leve, 21,6% no grau moderado e 4,3% no grau grave. Houve associação significativa entre os hábitos parafuncionais de ranger e apertar dentes, roer unhas, morder objetos, morder bochecha, mastigar e dormir de um lado só e apoiar a mão da mandíbula com a DTM (p < 0,05). A gravidade leve não apresentou associação estatisticamente significativa com os hábitos, apenas os graus moderado e grave.

Conclusão:

Concluiu-se que 66,3% dos pesquisados apresentaram DTM, sendo maior a prevalência do grau leve e houve associação entre a DTM e os hábitos parafuncionais, com exceção aos de mascar chiclete e chupar dedo.
ABSTRACT

Aim:

To evaluate the prevalence and severity of Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) in officers of the police force and to analyze the association between TMD and parafunctional habits.

Methods:

A cross-sectional research with a quantitative approach was carried out. The sample consisted of 255 police officers, from 20 to 53 years of age, of both genders, in the states of Maranhão, Pará, and Tocantins. Three questionnaires were used to evaluate variables of sample characterization, prevalence, and severity of TMD and parafunctional habits. The questionnaires were sent via electronic platform (Google Forms). Pearson's chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and Odds Ratio were used.

Results:

The presence of Temporomandibular Dysfunction was observed in 66.3% of those surveyed, of whom 40.4% presented the dysfunction in a mild degree, 21.6% in a moderate degree, and 4.3% in a severe degree. A significant association was observed between parafunctional habits of grinding and clenching teeth, biting nails, biting objects, biting cheeks, chewing and sleeping on one side, and resting one ́s hand on the jaw with TMD (p < 0.05). Mild severity showed no statistically significant association with habits, only moderate and severe degrees.

Conclusion:

It was concluded that 66.3% of those surveyed had TMD, with a higher prevalence of the mild degree. In addition, an association was observed between TMD and parafunctional habits, with the exception of chewing gum and thumb sucking.
