RESUMO
Este trabalho objetivou avaliar a prevalência de subgrupos da Disfunção Temporomandibular (DTM) e hábitos parafuncionais orais em indivíduos portadores de zumbido subjetivo, sendo comparados com indivíduos sem zumbido. Duzentos indivíduos, de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 18 a 60 anos, participaram do estudo. Inicialmente, foram subdivididos, com auxílio do exame otorrinolaringológico, em grupo experimental (n=100), indivíduos portadores de zumbido subjetivo, e grupo controle (n=100), voluntários sem qualquer queixa de zumbido. A análise da prevalência de DTM, bem como o estudo dos seus sinais e sintomas, foi feita segundo os critérios de diagnóstico Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). O Limiar de Dor à Pressão (LDP) dos músculos masseter e temporais (anterior, médio e posterior) foram medidos bilateralmente, por meio de um algômetro KRATOS®, e a dor subjetiva pela Escala de Análise Visual (EAV). O estudo da presença dos hábitos parafuncionais orais, apertamento dentário diurno e bruxismo do sono, foi feito através do auto-relato e da aplicação de exame clínico de bruxismo, respectivamente. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatística (Testes Qui-Quadrado, t de Student e Mann-Whitney e Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman), em um nível de significância de 5%. Foi encontrada uma maior prevalência de DTM no grupo experimental quando comparado ao grupo controle (p < 0,05). De uma maneira geral, os sinais e sintomas de DTM avaliados foram mais prevalentes no grupo experimental em comparação ao grupo controle, como a presença de dor à palpação na ATM e de ruídos articulares na abertura bucal, maior tempo de dor e maior grau de severidade de dor crônica.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) subgroups and oral parafunctional habits, daytime clenching and sleep bruxism, in patients with subjective tinnitus when compared to a group of asymptomatic volunteers. Two hundred patients (ages between 18-60 years-old) participated in this study, divided into two groups, according to the presence (experimental) or not (comparison) of subjective tinnitus. According to the RDC/TMD criteria, the subgroups were determined. The Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) values of masseter and temporalis (anterior, middle, and posterior regions) muscles were recorded bilaterally with an algometer and a visual analog scale (VAS) was used to address subjective pain. The severity of the TMD was determined by using an anamnestic questionnaire while a self-reported questionnaire detected parafuncional habits. Data were submitted to statistical analysis (Chi-square, t Student, Mann-Whitney and Spearman’s Correlation), at a 5% significance level. The prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMD was significantly associated with the presence of tinnitus (p=.001). The three most prevalent TMD subgroups in tinnitus patients (p < .05) were myofascial pain with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement (39%), disc displacement with reduction (44,33%) and arthralgy (53,54%). The PPT values were lower (p > .05) while VAS was statistically higher (p < .05) for tinnitus patients. The severity of TMD was associated with tinnitus (p=0.001). Both, the report of sleep bruxism (58%), as well as of daytime clenching (60%) were found more frequently in tinnitus patients. Significant difference, however, was detected only for the report of bruxism (p < .05). These results suggest that an association exists between TMD and subjective tinnitus.
