Periodontal disease and ptsd

OBJECTIVE: This study compared dental, periodontal, oral, and joint/muscle tenderness among Israeli combat-induced post-traumatic stress disorder (Ci-PTSD) war veterans to non-PTSD patients. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective three-arm study compared oral and facial manifestations between 100 Israeli veterans with Ci- PTSD (study group) and 103 non-PTSD periodontal patients (Control group). The study group was further divided into two subgroups of individuals who received psychiatric medications (40 patients) or did not (60 patients)...

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) imposes a significant burden on patients and communities. Although the microbiome-gut-brain axis has been proposed as a mediator or moderator of PTSD risk and persistence of symptoms, clinical data directly delineating the gut microbiome's relationship to PTSD are sparse. This study investigated associations between the gut microbiome and mental health outcomes in participants with PTSD (n = 79) and trauma-exposed controls (TECs) (n = 58). Diagnoses of PTSD, major depressive disorder (MDD), and childhood trauma were made using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5), MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), respectively...

PURPOSE: Dental symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients include a majority of painful temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscle findings, restricted mouth opening, and pronounced attritions. Traumatic occlusal force resulting in injury of the teeth and/or the periodontal attachment apparatus may exceed the adaptive capacity of the individual person or site. This observational cross-sectional study in soldiers with PTSD and a non-PTSD control group after military deployments aimed to evaluate a possible relationship between bruxism and periodontal diagnosis...

OBJECTIVE: Stress experienced as an intense and traumatic event can increase the odds of orofacial morbidities that may affect oral, periodontal, or masticatory system health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dental, periodontal, oral, and bruxism situation among Israeli posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) war veterans. METHOD AND MATERIALS: This retrospective cohort pilot study aimed to examine the oral and facial manifestations in 71 Israeli veterans with combat PTSD...

The aim of this study was to assess the oral health condition of Croatian war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study included 50 men who experienced combat stress and had been diagnosed with PTSD. They were compared with the group of 50 age-matched men who did not participate in war and did not have PTSD. Xerostomia, oral mucosal lesion, oral hygiene status, dental, and periodontal conditions, as well as temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) were assessed and compared between the groups...

Rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP) results from the interaction between the periodontal microflora and the host. Stress is believed to play an important role in determining host responses, and it has been proposed that hyperactivity of host defense mechanisms significantly increases tissue destruction typical for this disease. During a period of four months we have diagnosed 20 patients with acute RPP, all of them active participants in battles of the Croatian liberation war with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related symptoms...
