Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of different Oral Mucosal diseases in Anxiety
and Depression patients.
Material and Methods: A hospital based observational Study was conducted in the department of Psychiatry and
department of Oral Medicine and Radiology. Patients who were diagnosed with Anxiety or Depression by the psy
-
chiatrists using Hamilton Anxiety and Depression scale were subjected to complete oral examination to check for
oral diseases like Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS), and Burning Mouth Syndrome
(BMS). Equal number of control group subjects were also included.
Results: In this study statistically significant increase in the oral diseases in patients with anxiety and depression
than the control group was recorded. Oral diseases were significantly higher in anxiety patients (20.86%) than in
depression (9.04%) and control group patients (5.17%). In anxiety patients, the prevalence of RAS was 12%, OLP
was 5.7%, and BMS was 2.87%. In depression patients, the prevalence of RAS was 4.02%, OLP was 2.01% and
BMS was 3.01%. In control group the prevalence was 2.2%, 1.33% and 1.62% in RAS, OLP and BMS respecti
-
vely. RAS and OLP were significantly higher in the younger age group (18-49) and BMS was seen between the age
group of 50-77 years in both study and control groups.
Conclusions: The results of the present study showed a positive association between psychological alterations and
changes in the oral mucosa, particularly conditions like OLP, RAS and BMS. Thus psychogenic factors like anxiety
and depression may act as a risk factor that could influence the initiation and development of oral mucosal diseases.
Hence psychological management should be taken into consideration when treating patients with these oral diseases.
