Influence of psychological stress on the response to periodontal treatment: Systematic Review Protocol
ABSTRACT
Background:
The interaction between stress and periodontal treatment is a topic of growing interest, standing out as a field of research that sheds light on the complexity of oral health in individuals subjected to high levels of emotional stress.
Objective:
To examine scientific evidence related to the influence of psychological stress on the response to periodontal treatment.
Methods:
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines will be followed, and the study is based on a formulation of PECO questions (Participants, Exposure, Comparators, Outcomes). This systematic review will involve a literature search covering studies published up to December 2023 and will include searching the PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOHost, SCOPUS, ProQuest databases to identify relevant studies. After selection, data extraction and quality assessment of the included studies will be carried out using the Ottawa-Newcastle scale.
Results:
The systematic review outlined by this protocol is expected to clearly integrate high-quality evidence on how psychological stress impacts the outcomes of periodontal treatment. This may provide valuable guidance for future research and assist clinical professionals in making decisions about the best treatment options for patients.
Conclusions:
This review will help clarify how psychological factors, such as stress, influence periodontal treatment outcomes. Clinical Trial: Open Science Framework (OSF) Registries/Generalized Systematic Review Registration (Registry ID: https://osf.io/qfs6p).
