Stresses of wartime: chronic long-term and acute short-term stress episodes that periodically increase it, can be physiological and neuropsychological (psycho-emotional). Constant fatigue, anxiety and long-term stress exhaust the body, harm the physical condition, can become a trigger for depression, the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, and this, in turn, can cause the development of pathological conditions of organs and systems, in particular periodontal tissues.Purpose of the article is to review available in free access scientific papers on the problem of pathophysiological mechanisms of the influence of stress on periodontal tissues, emphasizing the emerging role of neuroendocrine and neuroimmune mediators in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases.Materials and methods. Relevant literature from MEDLINE (PubMed), Google Scholar, and in open access journals which are published by Elsevier was selected using the following key words «adrenal glands», «cortisol», «endocrine system», «periodontal disease», «stress» were used in various combinations. The search considered works published from 2010 until November 2023 by using the abovementioned key words as we want to include only up to date information. In total there were found 202 scientific papers corresponding to above mentioned key words. To the selected scientific papers we applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria to choose the relevant ones.Results. A comprehensive study of the available information related to relationship between psychological disturbances and periodontal disease was carried out. Stress triggers emotional and physiological responses and serves as a significant modifiable risk factor for both mental and physical health conditions. Wars have profound social, economic, and psychological consequences for affected individuals and communities. The initiation and progression of periodontitis are related to multiple aetiologic and risk factors, the most important of which are the local microbiota and host immune response. It is established that stress reduces the flow of salivary secretions which in turn can enhance dental plaque formation. The
