About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to learn how mental health affects periodontal health in people having teeth grinding (bruxism).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does poor mental health increase the risk of periodontitis in people with teeth grinding? Does stress link teeth grinding and periodontitis?
Participants are people who likely have teeth grinding(bruxism) and periodontitis
Participants will:
Answer questions about their mental health, including stress Get a periodontal health status check
Teeth grinding(Bruxism) can occur due to stress, smoking, alcohol use, and bite problems. Stress may affect muscle activity and lead to teeth grinding. It can also weaken the body's defense and lead to poor oral care. This may worsen periodontal health.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adult periodontitis patients with age group 30-50 years diagnosed with probable bruxism.
Presence of minimum 20 teeth excluding third molars.
Disqualifiers
History of systemic disease such as diabetes or autoimmune disease
History of drugs having the potential impact on periodontal status like phenytoin, cyclosporin, calcium-channel blockers or antidepressant drugs.
Pregnant or lactating females.
Post-menopausal women.
Trial population
The study population will be drawn from patients reporting to the outpatient clinic of department of Periodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak on the basis of strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
mental health status
Assessment of mental health status in each participant using mental health questionnaire (MHI-38). Score range from 38 to 226, with higher score indicating better mental health
Time frame
baselineSecondary outcomes
1
pocket probing depth
Pocket probing depth will be measured in millimeters from gingival margin to base of pocket at 6 sites per tooth using UNC-15 probe
Time frame
baseline2
Clinical Attachment Level
Clinical attachment level will be measured in millimeters from cemento-enamel junction to base of periodontal pocket at 6 sites per tooth using UNC-15 probe.
Time frame
Baseline3
Bleeding on probing
Bleeding on probing will be scored as 0=no bleeding and 1= bleeding at six sites per tooth after gentle probing with UNC-15 probe
Time frame
baseline4
Gingival Index
Gingival Index will be assessed using the Loe and Silness criteria. Each site will be scored from 0 to 3, where 0= normal gingiva, 1= mild inflammation with slight color change and edema but no bleeding on probing, 2= moderate inflammation with redness, edema, and bleeding on probing, and 3= severe inflammation with marked redness, edema, ulceration and a tendency for spontaneous bleeding. The scores are averaged to obtain the gingival index for an individual tooth or entire dentition.
