Resumo
Objective: Identify factors associated with the prevalence of reported bruxism in children/adolescents with Down Syndrome (DS).Methods: The study included 112 children/adolescents with DS and their parents/caregivers. Oralhabits, pacifier/finger sucking, upper respiratory infections (<six months), and breathing type(nasal/buccal) were diagnosed. Reported bruxism was recorded through parents’ report (“Doesyour child have audible teeth grinding?”).Results: Children/adolescents 8–12 years of age were 1.15 times more likely to belong to thegroup with reported bruxism (1.42–3.14). Children/adolescents 5–7 years of age were 3.38 timesmore likely to belong to the group with reported bruxism (1.26–9.03). Children/adolescentsclassified as mouth breathers were 2.87 times more likely to belong to the group with reportedbruxism (1.18–6.98).Conclusion: Age and mouth breathing were associated with reported bruxism. Earlier interven-tions should be provided in order to limit and minimize possible damage that can affectchildrens’ quality of life.
