Self-reported bruxism incidence varied significantly among four ethnic groups of students. Asian students reported the highest rates, while African-American students reported the lowest prevalence.

Area of Science:

  • Dental epidemiology
  • Public health
  • Behavioral science

Background:

  • Bruxism, the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, is a common condition with multifactorial causes.
  • Understanding the prevalence of bruxism across different demographic groups is crucial for targeted public health interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of self-reported bruxism among students from four distinct ethnic groups.
  • To identify potential ethnic disparities in bruxism incidence within a student population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • Data on self-reported bruxism were collected from a sample of students across four ethnic groups: African-American, Asian, Euro-American, and Hispanic.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare the distribution of bruxism incidence among the groups.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant difference in bruxism distribution was observed across the four ethnic groups.
  • African-American students exhibited the lowest incidence of self-reported bruxism (9.4%).
  • Asian students reported the highest incidence (24.6%), with Euro-American and Hispanic students showing intermediate rates.

Conclusions:

  • Ethnic background is a significant factor associated with the prevalence of self-reported bruxism in students.
  • Targeted bruxism prevention and management strategies may be necessary, considering ethnic variations.
