| Abstract | Stress is an unavoidable component of modern life and has significant effects on both systemic and oral health. Psychological stress can influence the body through complex neuroendocrine and immunological mechanisms, particularly involving the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system. These physiological responses lead to the release of stress mediators such as cortisol, adrenaline, and inflammatory cytokines that can alter immune function, inflammatory responses, and tissue healing. The oral mucosa is highly sensitive to psychological disturbances, and several oral mucosal disorders have been linked to stress and emotional factors . Conditions such as recurrent aphthous stomatitis, oral lichen planus, burning mouth syndrome, herpes labialis, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and xerostomia have been reported to show a strong association with psychological stress. Evidence suggests that stress can act as a triggering or exacerbating factor in these disorders by impairing immune responses and altering salivary composition . Management of stress-related oral disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes dental treatment, pharmacological therapy, behavioral modification, and psychological support.This article , therefore emphasizes the critical importance of incorporating stress evaluation and management into routine dental care,advocating for a holistic , multidisciplinary approach to oral mucosal health that bridges the gap between psychological well -being and clinical outcomes . |
