Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Excess consumption of refined sugar and increased use of recreational screen time are risk factors for alterations in the quality of life that have been associated with sleep bruxism in children and that compromise the same mechanisms of alteration of the reward system in the brain. Therefore, the question of this research is: What is the effect of the Intervention "Food, Fun and Family (FFF)" on the frequency of sleep bruxism in children? The general objective of the research is to evaluate the effect of the Intervention "Food, Fun and Family (FFF)" on the frequency of sleep bruxism in 84 children who attend the pediatric dentistry postgraduate clinic of the CES University and the private consultation Dr. Claudia Restrepo and Dr. Adriana SantamarĂ­a. The frequency of sleep bruxism will be evaluated with the translated and validated Spanish version of the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), which will be answered by the parents. The consumption of added sugar will be evaluated with the version translated into Spanish of the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children - Food-Frequency Questionnaire (HBSC-FFQ). The time on screens will be recorded through the parents' report, of the time in hours that the child spends using electronic media in a recreational way each weekday for a week and each weekend day for a week.

A decrease in the frequency of sleep bruxism is expected to be found by reducing sugar consumption and screen time in the children evaluated.

The results of this study will be presented at the IADR, ACFO, ACOP and CES University research meetings and will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in category Q1.

Study Groups

Food, fun and family

This intervention aims to change eating and screen time habits in children to decrease the amount of added sugar consumed and the time spent using recreational screens, this with guides and precise instructions given to the parents to have a healthier lifestyle.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Food, fun and family

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention consists of a series of change of habits in the way children eat, the reduction of the recreational time of screens and healthy habits of physical activity. This intervention, which is called "Food, Fun \& Family (FFF)", is aimed at parents and has been shown to be effective in reducing the consumption of "empty calories" by children. It teaches parents skills to reduce their daily energy intake of added sugars and saturated fats, it also seeks to reduce screen time.

The intervention contains information and recommendations, through guides, in which precise instructions are given about how to maintain a healthy environment at home.

Counseling

The parents will receive simple verbal instructions to reduce the consumption of added sugar and recreational screen time, giving advice on which foods to avoid and the amount of time permitted for the use of screens.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Counseling

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Simple verbal instructions will be given in the consultation to reduce the time of use of screens and refined sugar.

For refined sugar reduction, parents will be told to avoid sugary drinks, add sugar to drinks (juices, milk, etc.), and avoid snacks and sweets. It will also be indicated that the screen time should be less than two hours a day and in no case use them two hours before sleeping.
