Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between stress and maxillofacial injuries in male students.
Methods : The subjects were 386 male students who were 18 years or more. Mean age was 20.99±2.80years. Data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire from March 7 to March 28, 2013. We surveyed maxillofacial injuries, mouth guards use and stress in male students majoring physical education. The data were analyzed by Cochran’s Mantel-Haenszel, McNemar test and logistic multiple regression.
Results : Those who had clenching habit and maxillofacial pain accounted for 48.7%. The pain was 3.23folds higher in clenching habit than those who had not (OR=3.23, p <.001). The more stress they had,the more clenching habit (OR=2.13) and pain(OR=1.68) did they have. Within 2 years, those having maxillofacial injury accounted for 53.2% and 78.6% of them put on maxillofacial protection guard. In rule for mouth guard use, 39.9% had no maxillofacial injury. Maxillofacial injury was 2.41 folds higher in those who had no mouth guard usee (OR=2.41).
Conclusion : Maxillofacial injury had a close correlation with mouth guard use and stress. Therefore, it is very important to establish the rule for mouth guard use in sports activities.
