Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn how mental health affects periodontal health in people having teeth grinding (bruxism).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does poor mental health increase the risk of periodontitis in people with teeth grinding? Does stress link teeth grinding and periodontitis?

Participants are people who likely have teeth grinding(bruxism) and periodontitis

Participants will:
