Academic Stress in Oral Diseases Of Students

The review is dedicated to the most important research of stress influence in the genesis of oral diseases in students. The aim was to analyze the literature and identify the most relevant publications on this theme. A literature search was performed using the PubMed, the Google scholar and the el_IBRARY.RU ‘All Databases’, without any restriction of language, publication year, and study design. After evaluation of the titles and abstracts of 2742 articles in PubMed, 39300 articles in Google scholar and 1732 articles in el_IBRARY.RU about stress and oral pathology generation in students, the relevant publications were included. Duplicate articles were removed. After reading the abstracts and the full texts of 315 articles (87 in the PubMed, 221 in the Google scholar and 7 in the el_IBRARY.RU), the information was analyzed and extracted. The current analysis presents that the attention of scientists was more focused on changing the intra-articular relations of the temporomandibular joint and the tone of the masticatory muscles. It is important to investigate the mechanisms of development of oral pathology and ways to improve adaptation of individuals who are cyclically exposed to stress factors. Dental students can be considered as objects with different approaches to oral hygiene, but more or less the same level of stress. All of this proves the need to continue research work in this direction for a deeper study of the processes, the development of which is caused and/or interrelated with the formation of pathological changes in the mucous membranes and lesions of the hard tissues of the teeth. © 2021.
