About this trial

The present study aims to evaluate psychological resilience as a modifier of the relationship between perceived stress and periodontal status among bruxers. Given that both stress and inflammation share common neuroendocrine and immunological pathways, resilience may play a crucial role in buffering stress-induced periodontal breakdown. Understanding this relationship could shift periodontal management toward a biopsychosocial model, integrating psychological assessment and resilience enhancement with conventional non-surgical therapy. Such insights could help design personalized periodontal care strategies addressing both biological and psychological determinants of disease progression.
