Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the sleep bruxism, malocclusions, orofacial dysfunctions and salivary levels of cortisol and alpha-amylase in asthmatic children. Design: 108 7-9-yr-old children were selected from Policlinic Santa Teresinha Doutor Antonio Haddad Dib (asthmatics, n = 53) and from public schools (controls, n = 55), Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Sleep bruxism diagnosis was confirmed by parental report of grinding sounds and the presence of shiny and polish facets on incisors and/or first permanent molars. The index of orthodontic treatment need was used for occlusion evaluation. Orofacial dysfunctions were evaluated using the nordic orofacial test-screening (NOT-S). Salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase were expressed as ``awakening response{''} (AR), calculated as the difference between levels immediately after awakening and 30 min after waking, and ``diurnal decline{''} (DD), calculated as the difference between levels at 30 min after waking and at bedtime. Data were analyzed using Shapiro-Wilk/Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Chi-square, unpaired t test/Mann-Whitney and paired t/Wilcoxon tests. Results: Sleep bruxism was more prevalent in children with asthma than controls (47.2% vs. 27.3%, p < 0.05). Asthmatics had higher scores of NOT-S total and interview (p < 0.05). Dysfunctions on sensory function and chewing and swallowing were more frequent in asthmatics (p < 0.05). Salivary cortisol AR on weekend was significantly higher for asthmatics (p < 0.05). Salivary cortisol DD was significantly higher on weekday than weekend for controls (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in alpha-amylase values in and between groups. Conclusions: The presence of asthma in children was associated with sleep bruxism, negative perception of sensory, chewing and swallowing functions, and higher concentrations of salivary cortisol on weekend.
