Stress, allostatic load, and periodontal diseases

Abstract: 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 i… Show more

“…Our results support an important role of perceived stress in perceived oral health outcomes. In other words, individuals with higher levels of perceived stress experienced worse OHRQoL, being in accordance with previous studies [22,63,64]. Furthermore, our findings suggest a negative link between 'enabling' factors (stress and income) and 'oral health behaviors'.…”

“…They found systemic inflammation to be a significant predictor of periodontal tissue loss [40]; thus activation of pro-inflammatory pathways is a possible mechanism by which short sleep duration could affect periodontitis. In addition, sleep is linked to psychosocial stress and obesity which have been shown to be associated with higher periodontitis prevalence [41][42][43]. Since the present study was cross sectional, it could also be possible that insufficient sleep is a consequence rather than a cause of periodontitis or that the reported association between the two conditions is coincidental.…”

“…Allostatic overload can be caused by chronic stress, and the consequences of allostatic load include increased risk of cardiovascular disease, abnormal hepatic metabolism, atrophy of neurons in the whole brain, and poor kidney outcomes [12][13][14] . The underlying pathologic mechanisms of diseases associated with allostatic overload may be involved in oxidative stress and systemic inflammation, disturbances in the autonomic nervous system and circadian rhythm, as well as metabolite abnormalities in the main stress-targeted tissues 2,5 .…”
