NCT ID NCT07615140
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether psychological resilience — the ability to bounce back from stress — can reduce the harmful effects of stress on gums in people who grind their teeth (bruxers). Researchers will measure stress and resilience using questionnaires and check gum health in 75 adults aged 30-50 with gum disease. The goal is to see if resilience might be a protective factor, which could lead to more holistic dental care that includes mental well-being.
