NCT02487862

Brief Summary

Psychological conditions, particularly psychosocial stress, have been implicated as risk indicators for periodontal disease. Minimal evidence in literature exists to assess the effect of stress reduction therapy (SRT) in the outcome of non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT). Hence, the present study was aimed at exploring the possibility of employing SRT in stressed subjects (assessed using questionnaire data and serum cortisol level) as an adjunctive intervention in the management of periodontal diseases.
