Rushil Shah, Aditi Kumbhalwar, Komal Vyas, Chintan Raval, Rushi Kothari, Maitri Jinwala

Stress is a form of despondency which has been clearly conspicuous in the current era of economic and social issues. It has been an explicit constituent in the etiology and perhaps is responsible for a consequential rise in the already existent periodontal disease. Stress has been directly implicated in compromising the immune system of the body, resulting into a detained healing of the impaired periodontium. Stress, therefore warrants for an important risk factor associated with almost all possible periodontal diseases. The basic goal of the paper is to associate stress with the variegated prevalent periodontal disease.
Key Words: Stress, periodontal disease, periodontitis
