Mood disorders such as stress and depression can promote alterations of several hormones Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate if symptoms of depression and stress are associated with halitosis. The hypothesis is that halitosis is associated with stress and depression symptoms. Methods: All university students’ entrants in the Federal University of Pelotas (UFPel) were invited to participate. Self-reported halitosis was measured using a visual analog scale. Students were also asked about the presence of halitosis perceived by close individuals. The stress level was measured using a modified version of the Perceived Stress Scale and symptoms of depression were screened by Patient Health Questionnaire-2. Poisson Regression Models were performed. Results: Of a total of 2,058 students who participated in the study, only 16% of them have reported not having any degree of halitosis and 17.6% were informed of closed individuals having halitosis. After adjustments, stress and depression symptoms remained associated with halitosis selfreported. Individuals from the higher stressed quartile presented higher scores of halitosis (RR 1.37 CI95% [1.24–1.53]). Students who presented depressive symptoms showed higher scores of self-perceived halitosis (RR 1.20 CI95% [1.10–1.32]). When the association of stress and halitosis reported by close individuals was tested, symptoms of depression lost the association in the adjusted model, while individuals from the highest quartile from stress remained associated (PR 1.36 CI95% [1.02–1.81]). Conclusion: Halitosis was associated with stress even after control for oral health and socioeconomic variables.

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate if cannabis use can be associated with gingival bleeding and caries experience among Brazilian students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 2016 with first-semester university students in Pelotas. Data was collected via a self-administered questionnaire. Self-reported gingival bleeding and caries experienced were collected. Cannabis use was assessed using a modified version of the Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). We define cannabis users as individuals who report using cannabis at least once a month. A Poisson regression model with robust variance was used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 2,058 (64.5% of eligible students) students were assessed. The prevalence of caries experience was 68.2% and gingival bleeding was 50.8%. The prevalence of cannabis use was 11.7%. After controlling (sex, skin color, age, family income, depressive symptoms, oral health self-perception tobacco use), individuals who use cannabis present a prevalence of gingival bleeding 2.51 (CI95%[1.42–4;53]) higher than individuals who did not use cannabis. The association was maintained even when the individuals who used tobacco were excluded from the sample (PR=2.24, CI95%[1.16 – 4.31]). Cannabis use did not show an association with the experience of dental caries in both crude (PR 0.91 CI95%[0.82 – 1.01]) and adjusted models (PR 0.93 CI 95%[0.83 – 1.05]). Conclusion: Cannabis use was associated with the presence of gingival bleeding among the students of a public university in the south of Brazil. However, the experience of dental caries did not present an association with cannabis use.

Exploring an Association between Body Mass Index and Oral Health—A Scoping Review

et al. 2023

Background: Basal metabolic index (BMI) is a unique anthropometric indicator used to define the relative amount of body fat on an individual’s frame. There are many diseases and conditions associated with obesity and underweight. Recent research trials suggest that there is a significant association between oral health indicators and BMI as both are attributed to common risk factors such as dietary, genetic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle issues. Objectives: The main objective of this review paper is to emphasize the association between BMI and oral health with available literature evidence. Methodology: A literature search was conducted using multiple databases comprising of MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science. The terms used for the search were “body mass index”, “periodontitis”, “dental caries”, and “tooth loss”. Results: In total, 2839 articles were obtained from the analysis of the databases. Unrelated articles from the available full text of 1135 articles were excluded. The main reasons for excluding the articles were: they were dietary guidelines and policy statements. A total of 66 studies were finally included in the review. Conclusion: The presence of dental caries, periodontitis and tooth loss may be associated with a higher BMI or obesity, whereas, improved oral health might be associated with lower BMI. Promoting general and oral health should be a hand in hand feature, as common risk factors can be embattled.
