“…The study by Lopez et al [39] was the only study that included students attending high school, which emphasized the relevance of assessing psychosocial stress and its association with periodontitis early in life. Two studies [16,32] involved patients from an academic institution, and one study involved women in the post-partum period [34].…”

“…The other psychological parameters that were evaluated with the help of a questionnaire in the studies were as follows: perceived stress, depression, anxiety, social readjustment, general health issues, problems of everyday living, and experiences in close relationships, hopelessness, emotional intelligence, self-esteem, optimism, and satisfaction in life. The Visual Analog Scale was used as a measure of stress in a study by Johannsen et al [16], and Spalj et al [35] used a self-reported questionnaire to evaluate war stress. Two studies [37,41] validated and adapted the questionnaire for the study sample.…”

“…Various clinical observations and epidemiological studies indicate that there is a relationship between experiences of negative life events and the development and progression of periodontal disease [14,15]. Studies have shown that the effects of adverse life circumstances such as financial strain [13], domestic and health problems, spousal bereavement and academic stress [16] might contribute to the diminution of general health, facilitating bacterial invasion resulting from poor oral hygiene and periodontal destruction.…”

Background: Observations from several epidemiologic and clinical studies suggest that psychological stress has a role in the etiology and progression of periodontal diseases (PD). The aim of the present study was to systematically analyze the influence of stress on periodontal disease reported in various case control, cross sectional and prospective clinical trials. The focused question analyzed in this systematic review was whether there is sufficient evidence to consider stress as risk factor for periodontal disease.

Motivation and learning methods of anatomy: Associations with mental well‐being

2021

Appropriate anatomy education for speech and language therapists is a crucial part of preparation for clinical practice. While much research has been conducted regarding the anatomical education of medical students, there is a paucity of evidence for speech and language therapy students. This study assessed the methods employed by a cohort of first-year speech and language therapy students to learn anatomy, their perceptions of the clinical importance of anatomy and motivation to learn anatomy (using a modified version of the motivation strategies for learning questionnaire)and how this related to potential barriers to motivation such as mental well-being (using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale [WEMWBS]). Analysis revealed that 92% of students agreed or strongly agreed that a sound knowledge of anatomy is important for clinical practice, 74% agreed or strongly agreed that listening at lectures was how they primarily learned anatomy, and 91% of students agreed or strongly agreed that they worried a great deal about tests. The latter statement was negatively correlated with a number of statements on the WEMWBS. Overall, the data revealed that first-year speech and language therapy students place importance on anatomy and its role in their future clinical practice, that they have different preferences for learning anatomy compared to medical students, and also have significant anxiety surrounding anatomy examinations. Multiple significant correlations between responses to the motivation and mental well-being questionnaires suggest that there is a significant relationship between first-year student motivation to learn anatomy and well-being.

Impact of photodynamic therapy versus ultrasonic scaler on gingival health during treatment with orthodontic fixed appliances

et al. 2018

Objectives: Poor oral hygiene during treatment with fixed appliances results in plaque accumulation. The presence of bacteria in the gingival crevice triggers an inflammatory reaction in the gingival tissues. The aim of this study was to compare the impact of two preventive treatments, photodynamic therapy (PDT), and ultrasonic scaler (US), on gingival health in patients under fixed orthodontic treatment. Methods: Twenty orthodontic patients were randomly allocated to two groups: PDT or US. Each group received seven sessions [days 0, 15, 30, 45, 90 (3months follow-up), 180 (6-months follow-up), 270 (9months follow-up)] of experimental interventions, and clinical parameters [Plaque index(PI); gingival index-(GI); probing depth(PD)], periodontopathogens [Agreggatibacter actinomycetemcomitans; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Prevotella intermedia; Micromonas micros; Fusobacterium nucleatum; Tannerella forsythia; Campylobacter rectus; Eikenella corrodens; Capnocytopaga sp.] and protein markers [IL-1b;IL-1ra;IL-6;IL-10;TNF-a;FGF-2/FGF basic] were monitored at baseline and at 3, 6, and 9 months. ANOVA, Student's t-test with Bonferroni correction and ANOVA with multiple rank test were used to identify differences between groups (P < 0.05). Results: Clinical assessments [PI, GI, and PD] yielded no differences (P > 0.05) between groups, which showed a major decrease at the start of the trial. Reductions in total colony forming units (log CFU reduction) were observed with both treatments, although to a greater extent in the PDT group, but with no differences between groups (P > 0.05). Similar reductions in log CFU counts of P. gingivalis, P. intermedia, and F. nucleatum were observed in both groups (P > 0.05). The two groups also showed similar trends for inflammatory mediators with decreased levels of IL-1b, IL-10, and TNF-a, whereas IL-6 and IL-1ra levels remained stable and those of FGF-2 were increased after both interventions, with no differences (P > 0.05) between groups. Conclusion: Both PDT and US methods proved similar effectiveness for the treatment of gingival inflammation induced by fixed orthodontic appliances. Lasers Surg. Med. 51:256-267, 2019.

The influence of academic stress on gingival inflammation

Abstract: Academic stress appears to affect periodontal health, shown by more plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation and increased amounts of IL-6, IL-10 in GCF and cortisol in saliva.
