Abstract
Background: Considering that the duration of sleep is known as a risk factor for various diseases, and due to the high prevalence of depression and its relationship with sleep disorders. The aim is to analyze the relationship between sleep duration and the use of sleeping medications with the dental status of people with depression in the Azar cohort population.
Methods: The Azar cohort study was started in Shabestar in the East Azerbaijan province between 15006 adults aged 35 to 70 years in 2014. The present cross-sectional-analytical investigation was done in 2022 based on the data collected in the fundamental phase of the Azar cohort study regarding the duration of sleep and the consumption of hypnotics medicine and dental caries based on the DMFT (decayed, missing, filled teeth) index. The inclusion criteria were the data of people with depression in the Azar cohort population, and the exclusion criteria were people with complete edentulism and incomplete. Regression analysis was performed by adjusting the confounding variables.
Findings: In this study of 1,369 individuals with depression, the missing teeth index was identified as the most significant contributor to the DMFT score. The regression results showed that there is no significant relationship between the DMFT index and the duration of sleep and the use of sleeping pills in depressed people.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of missing teeth in participants indicates that the oral health promotion program is necessary for adults.
