Description
Summary:Conclusion: The results of the study showed a significant relationship between depression and oral health indices but not with anxiety. [...]the present study suggests that more attention should be paid to the oral health of people with a history of depression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data collection This cross-sectional study was part of a big cohort study Kerman coronary artery disease risk factors study (KERCADRS) started from 2010 in Kerman Province of Iran. Regression analysis indicated that depressed patients are at the greater risk of tooth missing and developing dental caries and presenting poor periodontal and gingival status; however, no significant relationship was found between anxiety and oral health indices. Because of the established effect of smoking and opium on periodontal diseases, people who smoke or use opium were excluded from this study.
