Area of Science:

  • Oral Health
  • Psychosomatic Medicine
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Stress is a normal physiological response that can trigger psychosomatic disorders.
  • Work-related stress and burnout are significant occupational risks for dentists.
  • Periodontal disease is a major chronic oral disease contributing to the global disease burden.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess perceived stress in patients with periodontal disease.
  • To compare stress levels between patients, dentists, and dental students.
  • To identify stress as a risk factor in dentistry and for chronic dental patients.

Main Methods:

  • The study assessed perceived stress using the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ).
  • Participants included patients with periodontal pathologies, practicing dentists, and dental students.
  • Statistical analysis compared stress scores across groups, genders, and age.

Main Results:

  • Significant stress was confirmed in all three groups: patients, dentists, and students.
  • Perceived stress scores (PSQ) were surprisingly similar across all examined groups.
  • No significant differences in perceived stress were found between males and females.
  • A minimal positive correlation was observed between age and stress scores.

Conclusions:

  • Stress is a significant risk factor for both dental professionals and patients with chronic periodontal disease.
  • The findings underscore the need for stress management strategies in dental settings.
  • Further research and interventions are warranted to address stress in these populations.
