Resumen
Background: Students with stress generate habits such as: The alterations that have been reported in the literature are bruxism, muscular tension, onicophagy and cheilophagy. Bruxism is one of the parafunctions in which human beings perform compressive forces and excursive movements in the teeth at rest or in normal activities and outside the functions, both in the day and at night, varying the intensity and the weather. Onychophagy occurs commonly in students who are under some type of pressure and with high levels of anxiety, it is a habit in which people bite and eat their nails. The cheilophagia consists of sucking or biting the cheeks of the cheeks. Objective: To determine if there is a relationship between perceived psychological stress and oral parafunctional habits in dental students at the University of Santo Tomás in the second half of 2016. Methodology: An observational, cross-sectional, analytical study with a sample of 230 students from First to tenth semester of the Floridablanca campus dentistry faculty in the second period of 2016. Results: In relation to onychophagia and stress, 75% of those examined did not have this parafunctional habit and the remaining 25% (58) Who said that he did have the habit; Of the remaining 25%, 80% have medium-low stress. In relation to cheilophagy and stress, 70% of those examined indicated that they do not have the habit of chylophagia, and of the remaining 30% indicated to have the habit, 72% have a medium-high stress which raises the possible relationship between These two variables. In relation to bruxism and stress, 60% of those examined indicated that they do not have the bruxism habit, which indicates that 40% do have the habit being the largest in the three groups analyzed; However, of this 40% have the bruxism habit, 82% indicated to have a medium-low stress which is not a clear indicator of the relationship between bruxism and high stress. Conclusions: In relation to onicophagy and stress, 75% of those examined indicated that they did not have this parafunctional habit and the remaining 25% said they did have the habit; Of the remaining 25%, 80% have medium-low stress. In relation to the cheilophagy and stress, 70% of the examined ones indicated that they do not have the habit of the cheilophagy, and of the remaining 30% that indicated that it does have the habit 72% has a medium-high stress which raises the Possible relationship between these two variables. In relation to bruxism and stress, 60% of those examined indicated that they do not have the bruxism habit, which indicates that 40% do have the habit being the largest in the three groups analyzed; However, of this 40% who do have the bruxism habit, 82% indicated medium-low stress, which is not a clear indicator of the relationship between bruxism and high stress.
