Abstract:
The relationship of Oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL), stress, depression, anxiety, with xerostomia, un-stimulated salivary flow rate among young Indian adults is of interest. The first phase involved xerostomia along with salivary flow rate measurements. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) the standard questionnaire in this field, was used to assess depression, anxiety, and stress in the second part of the study. Xerostomia has a stronger effect on OHRQOL. Anxiety, stress, and depression are examples of psychological factors that significantly impact xerostomia and the reduction of salivary flow rate.
