Resumen
INTRODUCCIÓN: El bruxismo del sueño es una alteración del sistema estomatognático que se puede producir desde que se nace. De ahí su importancia diagnóstica en niños, niñas y adolescentes ya sea por un odontólogo general u odontopediatra. En niños y adolescentes suele ser un motivo de consulta de los padres o bien un hallazgo en la consulta dental. En la literatura existe información que aborda las causas, consecuencias y tratamiento del bruxismo en adultos, sin embargo, las investigaciones realizadas en niños son escasas, por lo que toma relevancia el manejo de esta patología por parte del odontólogo y de un equipo multidisciplinario.
OBJETIVO: Describir el conocimiento presentado por odontólogos de la Región Metropolitana respecto al bruxismo del sueño en niños, niñas y adolescentes en el año 2022.
MÉTODO: En este estudio se elaborará una encuesta de conocimientos relevantes respecto al bruxismo del sueño en niños, niñas y adolescentes, que será aplicada a Cirujanos Dentistas de la RM que acepten participar del estudio.
RESULTADOS: Se encuestó a un total de 176 odontólogos en donde no se obtuvieron resultados estadísticamente significativos (chi-cuadrado > 0,005), pero porcentualmente se puede indicar que los odontólogos de la Región Metropolitana poseen un nivel de conocimiento medio.
CONCLUSIÓN: Los odontólogos de la Región Metropolitana de Chile, poseen un nivel de conocimiento suficiente que les permite establecer correctos diagnósticos y poder abordar el bruxismo del sueño en niños y adolescentes favorablemente.
INTRODUCTION: Sleep bruxism is an alteration of the stomatognathic system that can occur from birth. Hence its diagnostic importance in children and adolescents either by a general dentist or pediatric dentist. In children and adolescents, it is usually a reason for consultation by the parents or a finding in the dental office. In the literature there is information that addresses the causes, consequences, and treatment of bruxism in adults, however, research on children is scarce, therefore the management of this pathology by the dentist and a multidisciplinary team is relevant. OBJECTIVE: To describe the knowledge presented by dentists in the Metropolitan Region regarding sleep bruxism in children and adolescents in the year 2022. METHOD: In this study, a survey of relevant knowledge regarding sleep bruxism in children and adolescents will be developed, which will be applied to dental surgeons who agree to participate in the study. RESULTS: A total of 176 dentists were surveyed where no statistically significant results were obtained (chisquare > 0.005), but percentage-wise it can be indicated that dentists in the metropolitan region have an average level of knowledge. CONCLUSION: Dentists in the metropolitan region of Chile have a sufficient level of knowledge that allows them to establish correct diagnoses and to be able to address sleep bruxism in children and adolescents favorably.
