“…Another commonly used biomarker of chronic stress is circulating levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumour necrotic factor-α (TNF-α), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) (34,48). The secretion of immunological biomarkers could be altered by the chronic exposure to stress.…”

Psychosocial stress plays an important role in periodontal disease through biological and behavioral pathways. In this paper we review studies that examine the relationship between stress and periodontal diseases, and discuss the different measures used to assess stress. Self-reported measures, such as the Perceived Stress Scale and the Stress Appraisal Measure, have traditionally been used to assess stress. Frequent and repeated exposure to stressor(s) leads to wear and tear of the body's systems, resulting in what is known as allostatic load. In recent years, few studies examining the relationship between stress and periodontal diseases have used an aggregate variable, including primary and secondary markers of allostatic load, as a biological marker of stress. While research on the relationship between allostatic load and periodontal disease is still developing, as most of the studies used cross-sectional data, this line of research presents a good opportunity for establishing a composite biological indicator as a risk factor for periodontal disease. Such an indicator is also potentially beneficial for personalized periodontics as it will help to target intervention to specific levels of risk and will help in integrating oral and general health promotion policies.

“…This method, compared to laboratory conditions, has greater validity, but at the same time carries a problem of inability to standardize, which results in the lack of homogeneity of the obtained results (8). Taking academic exams in the student population (6,8,9) and the stress related to a particular profession are frequently used methodologies in the evaluation of stress as a result of "real-life" stressor action (10,11).…”

“…The level of salivary cortisol is thus brought into relation with the activation of the hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis (4,7,9,14,15). Since stress shows the immunosuppressive effect, the level of secretory IgA (10,11,15) and lysozyme (16) release of catecholamine, which is difficult to track in the saliva because of low concentration, rapid degradation and hormone instability in the samples taken. It is also possible to use chromogranin A (CgA) (14,17) and enzyme α-amylase (14, 18) as a response of the sympatho-adrenomedullary system to stress, or as biomarkers of stress, as alternative indices of adrenergic activity, due to their stability in the saliva and reliability of the obtained values.…”

Stress is defined as a state in which homeostasis, as a dynamic balance of internal conditions necessary for the proper functioning of cells or the living organism as a whole, is affected by the action of various stressors. Stress reaction occurs as a result of stress system activities, which is located in the central and peripheral nervous system. Stress evaluation involves a qualitative and quantitative analyses and valuation of certain biologically active substances (biomarkers of stress) in body fluids that are so often associated with stress. Saliva as a diagnostic medium is being increasingly used for purposes of clinical and basic research because of its composition and content as well as the advantages of the process of sampling, as compared to traditional methods of collecting blood samples and urine samples. Cortisol, as a biomarker of stress, is the most often studied salivary biomarker, which is associated with the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis. Since stress leads to the suppression of the immune system, values of salivary secretory IgA and salivary lysozyme, as biomarkers of stress, can be analyzed. In saliva, it is difficult to monitor acute stress parameters, catecholamines, due to their low concentrations, rapid degradation and instability in the samples. Chromogranin A (CgA) and α-amylase enzyme can be used as alternative indices of adrenergic activity during stress reactions, due to their stability in saliva and reliability of the obtained values.Stress reaction and the diseases in whose pathogenesis it participates are yet another proof of the constant interaction of physical, psychological and social factors in health / disease.

“…In addition, the lack of therapeutic salivary components (antimicrobial peptides) may affect the localized immunity [13,14]. In addition, the immunoglobulin A (IgA) is another immunological component secreted in saliva that affects the susceptibility of oral and respiratory mucosal infections [15,16]. Therefore, the absence or reduction of IgA may be associated with mucosal host resistance [17].…”

Hyposalivation (HS) affects aging individuals by causing pain and discomfort in the oral cavity. The aim here was to determine the impact of hyposalivation and the saliva pH on the quality of life and caries status of geriatrics population. A total of 138 male outpatients attending the Taibah University College of Dentistry (TUCoD) dental clinic were included in the study. The saliva flow, pH, Quality of Life (QoL), and caries status were recorded. The QoL was measured using the Arabic version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14), and the caries status was recorded using the Decayed, Missed, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index. The mean age was 67.5 years and 64% were classified as having hyposalivation. The older respondents tended to have a lower saliva flow and pH compared to their younger counterparts. There was a significant inverse association (p = 0.02) between the caries status and mean saliva flow rate. There was also a significant (p < 0.001) positive correlation between caries and the OHIP-14 scores (Spearman’s ρ = 0.293). The prevalence of hyposalivation was relatively high and there was an inverse relationship between the age, the saliva flow, and pH. Those with more caries reported significantly poor QoL.
