Brief Summary

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

Studies suggest that chronic exposure to psychological stress can lead to oral health deterioration, alter the immune response, and possibly contribute to increased inflammation, which can impact the physiological healing of periodontal tissues.

People with psychophysiological stress disorders tend to acquire unhealthy habits, leading to less self-care, incorrect nutrition, smoking, alcohol consumption, and reduced physical activity.

This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the correlation between periodontal health and psychological stress.

Patients between the ages of 35 and 70 will be recruited. Each patient must be visited and a periodontal assessment must be performed, recording the percentage of bleeding on probing and the Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR). Subsequently, patients will be administered the Sheldon Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Mindfulness Awareness Attention Scale (MAAS) questionnaires.
