Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.

Review question

ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationHumans with oral disease (periodontitis or dental caries); no age restriction; English-language empirical studiesAdults (18 to 85 years) with periodontal disease and children with dental caries; population surveys and clinic samples (n=10 studies)
InterventionChronic psychosocial stressor / social, socioeconomic or psychosocial exposure (e.g., stress, socioeconomic status, income, education)Psychosocial stress, depression, low socioeconomic position (income, education) and family financial stress (n=10)
ComparisonNot specified (lower exposure / higher socioeconomic position implied)Higher socioeconomic position or lower stress comparison groups within studies
OutcomesOral disease (periodontitis, dental caries) together with at least one biological/immune markerPeriodontal disease (8 studies) and dental caries (2 studies); biological markers include allostatic load, cortisol, inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8), CRP, antibody titres and cariogenic bacteria (n=10)
Study designsNo restriction on study design (empirical human studies); acute stressors and acute oral conditions and oral cancer excluded10 observational studies: 4 cross-sectional, 4 case-control, 2 longitudinal (6-month and 5-year follow-up)
TimingNot specifiedMostly cross-sectional; longitudinal follow-up of 6 months and 5 years in two studies

Search date: Not specified; literature search covered publications from 1994 to 2015. Databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO

1 question
OutcomeEffectEvidenceStatus / GRADE
Systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein) and periodontal disease progression
5-year follow-up
In one 5-year longitudinal study, accumulation of low socioeconomic and behavioural factors was associated with greater periodontal disease progression and higher C-reactive protein; not pooled (ungraded).

GCF elastase activity and non-surgical periodontal treatment outcome (salivary cortisol, ICTP measured; no effect reported)
6-month follow-up
In one 6-month longitudinal study, patients under psychosocial stress had higher gingival crevicular fluid elastase and poorer outcomes after non-surgical periodontal therapy; not pooled (ungraded).

Gingival inflammation and GCF IL-1β IL-6 and IL-8
Population: Adults with gingivitis or periodontitis from a private periodontics practice
Perceived stress was associated with IL-1β IL-6 and IL-8 levels in gingival crevicular fluid.

Antibody titres to periodontal pathogens
Baseline and 1-year follow-up
Population: Adults with periodontitis
In one case-control study, depression as a marker of social isolation was associated with elevated antibody titres to periodontal pathogens at baseline and 1-year follow-up; not pooled (ungraded).

Job-related or family-related stress and pessimistic attitude to life vs Lower stress and no pessimistic attitude

Population: Patients with aggressive or chronic periodontitis at a university periodontology department
2 questions
OutcomeEffectEvidenceStatus / GRADE
Periodontal disease and serum IL-1β IL-6 and cortisol
No correlation was reported between immunological markers cortisol and registered stress values; untreated aggressive periodontitis was accompanied by pessimistic attitude and elevated serum IL-6.

Salivary cortisol, cariogenic bacterial load and dental caries
Population: Kindergarten-age children
In one cross-sectional study of children, low socioeconomic status, higher basal salivary cortisol and higher cariogenic bacterial counts were each independently associated with higher dental caries risk; not pooled (ungraded).

Population: Mother-child pairs
