Background: Low sleep quality is associated with a decrease in the body's immunity level and an increase in inflammatory markers. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between periodontal diseases and sleep quality.
Methods: In this analytical-cross-sectional study, two groups of 40 individuals (with and without periodontal disease) were selected from patients referred to the Faculty of Dentistry of Isfahan Azad University. After obtaining consent, the periodontal condition of the patients was checked. People's evaluation criteria include a gingival index, pocket probing depth, and loss of clinical adhesion level. Indicators were performed by an examiner using a periodontal probe in four areas of each tooth (mesiobuccal, buccal, distobuccal, and lingual). Sleep quality questionnaire (The Pittsburgh Quality Index) and depression, anxiety, and stress assessment questionnaire (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale: DASS) were completed by two groups. Data were analyzed using chi-square, Independent T, Mann-Whitney, and Fisher’s exact test (α = 0.05).
Findings: Independent T-test did not show a significant difference in the average age of the two groups (P = 0.787). According to the Mann-Whitney test, the sleep quality score of patients with periodontal disease was significantly higher than that of people without the disease (P < 0.001), and this score was observed more in people with the disease based on gender, different age groups, and employed and unemployed people.
Conclusion: Therefore, the treatment of one can be effective in the treatment of another and ultimately improve the individual's life.
