Aspects Associated With Bruxism and Sleep Quality

Evaluate the correlation among the diagnostics of sleep bruxism and sleep quality obtained from the use of smartphone application (APP-Sleep Cycle®), PSG and questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-IQSP and Johansson).

This study will evaluate the correlation between sleep bruxism and sleep quality diagnoses obtained using the application of the smartphone (APP-Sleep Cycle®), polysomnography and questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-IQSP and Johansson). Subjects (n = 40) between 19 and 60 years old will be submitted to polysomnography from January to December 2019. The questionnaires will be applied before the polysomnography, and the APP will be used together with the polysomnography. The data will be tabulated and a descriptive statistical analysis performed. Specific statistical tests will be determined after preliminary analysis of the data (α = 0.05).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults (aged 20 to 60 years) and elderly (aged > 60 years) (WHO-World Health Organization, 2015) who will be undergone PSG at the Pelotas Sleep Institute (ISP);
• Adequate cognitive capacity to understand and answer the questionnaire.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those which the participants were unable to answer the questionnaires and who presented a history of epilepsy that could interfere in the results of PSG.
