Abstract

Stress may be a contributing factor in periodontal disease.

Is Psychological Stress a Possible Risk Factor for Periodontal Disease? A Systematic Review

“…In general, the analysis of the studies revealed a positive association between stress and periodontal disease. Unlike the previous review by Peruzzo et al [9], we identified one cohort study [41] that suggested persuasive evidence of psychological distress and social support as risk factors.The positive association was derived predominantly from prospective clinical trial [42], cross-sectional [16,17,[28][29][30][31]33,37] and case-control studies [38][39][40]. One crosssectional study by Forte et al [32] did not reproduce a positive finding.…”

“…Two of the studies were conducted only with women [16,34], and two studies did not mention the gender distribution [29,31]. In most of the studies [4,17,[28][29][30]37,38,[40][41][42], the participants were patients at a university periodontal clinic or private dental practice.…”

“…In most of the studies [4,17,[28][29][30]37,38,[40][41][42], the participants were patients at a university periodontal clinic or private dental practice. Five studies [31,33,35,36,41] were epidemiological surveys involving the residents in a particular area or a randomly selected general population. The study by Lopez et al [39] was the only study that included students attending high school, which emphasized the relevance of assessing psychosocial stress and its association with periodontitis early in life.…”

“…Twelve studies were cross-sectional [16,17,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], three were casecontrol [38][39][40] studies, one was a cohort study [41] and two were prospective clinical trial [4,42] studies, comprising 5051 individuals. Two of the studies were conducted only with women [16,34], and two studies did not mention the gender distribution [29,31].…”

L’alcool : une drogue licite aux conséquences bucco-dentaires non négligeables

“…De récentes études mettent l' accent sur l'association stress-maladies parodontales via des méca-nismes physiologiques et comportementaux [47,48]. Au niveau général, le stress et l' état dépressif diminuent la réponse immunitaire et favorisent l' inflammation chronique.…”
