ABSTRACT
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of bruxism and TMD in two populations in Uruguay: the capital city, Montevideo, and outside Montevideo. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted throughout the country with stratified multistage sampling. Results: The variables selected and analyzed in this first paper were: degree of mouth opening, muscle pain, TMJ clicking, parafunctional wear facets, headache, history of joint noise, feeling of clenching during sleep and self-perception of stress. The following global prevalence rates were found: TMD: 55%, with at least one symptom, it being more prevalent in Montevideo (57%) than outside Montevideo (53%); with at least one sign: 44%, it also being more prevalent in Montevideo (47%) than outside Montevideo (41%). As for active bruxism, regarding the feeling of clenching during sleep, a prevalence of 30.72% was found in Montevideo and 23.19% outside Montevideo, while being or having been a bruxer in the assessment of the parafunctional wear facets had a prevalence of 71.95% in Montevideo and 62.17% outside Montevideo. Conclusions: With this survey, we found a high prevalence of TMD and bruxism in the Uruguayan population and encourage the development of collective prevention and treatment actions.

Objetivo: Determinar mediante un ensayo in vitro, medidas de control del biofilm en la cámara interna del implante. Método: Se seleccionaron diferentes agentes antimicrobianos que se colocaron en las cámaras de 3 grupos de implantes. Luego de 7 días de inmersos en una suspensión microbiana e incubados, realizamos la toma, cultivo e incubación de las muestras de las cámaras de cada grupo de estudio. Resultados: Se constató una filtración de microorganismos hacia la cámara interna en todos los grupos de implantes estudiados, obteniéndose un mayor recuento de Unidades Formadoras de Colonias (UFC) en el grupo control, mientras que en los grupos experimentales se identificó una reducción significativa en el recuento de UFC. Conclusiones: Se observó una disminución significativa en la cantidad de UFC en los grupos experimentales respecto al grupo control, lo que determina la ventaja de utilizar este tipo de antimicrobianos
Objective: To determine biofilm control measures in the internal chamber of the implant through an in vitro test. Method: Different antimicrobial agents were selected and placed in the chambers of three groups of implants. After seven days, we immersed them in a microbial suspension for incubation. We collected, cultured and incubated the samples from the chambers of each study group. Results: We detected a filtration of microorganisms into the internal chamber in all the groups of implants studied. This resulted in a higher count of colony-forming units (CFU) in the control group, whereas in the experimental groups we identified a significant reduction in the CFU count. Conclusions: We observed a significant decrease in the number of CFU in the experimental groups in relation to the control group, which determines the advantage of using this type of antimicrobials

Objetivos: Determinar el nivel de prevalencia d Bruxismo y Trastornos Témporo Mandibulares (TTM) en dos poblaciones, Montevideo e Interior, en Uruguay. Método: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal a nivel nacional. El muestreo fue estratifi cado polietápico. Resultados: Las variables seleccionadas y analizadas en este primer artículo fueron: grado de apertura bucal, dolor muscular, chasquido de ATM, facetas de desgaste parafuncional, dolor de cabeza, relato de ruidos articulares, sensación de haber dormido apretando los dientes y autopercepción del stress. Se han comprobando las siguientes prevalencias globales: para TTM: 55% con al menos un síntoma, siendo más prevalente en Montevideo (57%) que en el Interior (53%). Con al menos un signo clínico: 44%, siendo también mas prevalente en Montevideo (47%) que en el Interior (41%). En cuanto a Bruxismo activo, ante la pregunta de tener la sensación al despertar de haber dormido apretando los dientes, se encontró una prevalencia de 30,72% en Montevideo y 23,19% en el Interior, en tanto que de ser o haber sido bruxómano a través de la valoración de las facetas de desgaste parafuncional 71,95% en Montevideo y 62,17% en el Interior. Conclusiones: Con este relevamiento hemos constatado una elevada prevalencia de TTM y Bruxismo en la población uruguaya y recomendamos la elaboración de medidas de prevención y tratamiento a nivel colectivo.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of bruxism and TMD in two populations, Montevideo and Interior, of Uruguay. Method: A cross section study at a national level was realized. The sample was a stratifi ed polietapic. Results: The selected and analyzed variables in this first article were: mouth opening degree, muscular pain, TMJ clicking, parafunctional wear facets, headache, story of articular noise, feeling of clenching during sleep and self perception of stress. The following global prevalences were found: for TMD: 55% with al least one symptom, being more prevalent in Montevideo (57%) than in the Interior (53%); with at least one sign: 44%, also being more prevalent in Montevideo (47%) than in the Interior (41%). Regarding active bruxism, to the question of having the feeling of clenching during sleep, a prevalence of 30,72% was found in Montevideo and 23,19% in the Interior, while being or having been a bruxer through the assessment of the parafunctional wear facets had a prevalence of 71,95% in Montevideo and 62,17% in the Interior. Conclusions: With this survey we found the high prevalence of TMD and Bruxism in the uruguayan population and encourage the development of prevention and treatment measures at the collective level.
