Sociodemographic profile and stages of Parkinson’s disease associated with predictors of Temporomandibular Disorder
ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the predictors of temporomandibular disorder in people with Parkinson’s disease, verifying their associations with sociodemographic aspects and stages of the disease. Methods: a study based on secondary data from research conducted in 2017 with 110 people with Parkinson’s disease. They were assessed with the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders and the Parkinson’s disease staging scale. The studied predictive variables for temporomandibular disorder were pain, crepitation, clicking, nighttime and daytime clenching/gnashing, uncomfortable/non-habitual bite, morning rigidity, and tinnitus. The sociodemographic aspects assessed were age, sex, schooling level, marital status, income, and stages 1 to 3 of the disease. The chi-squared odds ratio was used with a 95% confidence interval and significance level at p < 0.05. Results: an association was verified between nighttime clenching/gnashing and income (p = 0.006); tinnitus and income range from ½ to 3 (p = 0.003) and from 4 to 10 minimum wages (p = 0.004); and between tinnitus and stage 1 (p = 0.02). Conclusion: this study verified that the predictors associated with temporomandibular disorder in people with Parkinson’s disease were pain, clicking, crepitation, uncomfortable/non-habitual bite, and morning rigidity. It was verified that income and stage 1 of the disease had an association with nighttime clenching/gnashing and tinnitus.
