Abstract

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to determine the role of stress in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. Stress was examined with the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels; meanwhile, recurrent aphthous stomatitis was assessed with the duration of the lesion. Materials and Methods This was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted at Oral Medicine Installation, Universitas Sumatera Utara Dental Hospital, and Prodia Laboratory, Medan. The subjects were 50 patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, without systemic disease, who did not take systemic drugs or use orthodontic appliances. The diagnosis of recurrent aphthous stomatitis was established with anamnesis and clinical examination. Stress was examined by filling out the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire and blood tests for serum cortisol levels. Statistical analysis The data were analyzed using the Fisher test and Mann–Whitney U test. Results This study showed no significant relationship between the Perceived Stress Scale category and recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with a p -value of 0.392. This study also showed no significant relationship between blood cortisol level and recurrent aphthous stomatitis with a p -value of 1.000. Conclusion Stress may play an important role in recurrent aphthous stomatitis. However, this study did not show any difference in stress examined through the Perceived Stress Scale and cortisol levels based on the duration of recurrent aphthous stomatitis.

应激在复发性口腔炎中的作用

目的探讨应激在复发性口腔炎中的作用。用感知压力量表和皮质醇水平检测压力;同时，复发性口疮性口炎的评估与病变的持续时间。材料和方法本研究是在苏门答腊北方大学牙科医院口腔医学装置和棉兰Prodia实验室进行的一项横断面分析研究。研究对象为50例轻度复发性口腔炎患者，无全身性疾病，未服用全身性药物或使用正畸矫治器。通过记忆和临床检查确定复发性口疮性口炎的诊断。通过填写感知压力量表问卷和血清皮质醇水平的血液测试来检查压力。统计分析采用Fisher检验和Mann-Whitney U检验。结果感知压力量表类别与复发性口腔炎无显著相关，p值为0.392。本研究也显示血皮质醇水平与复发性口腔炎无显著关系，p值为1.000。结论应激可能在复发性口腔炎中起重要作用。然而，本研究并未显示通过感知压力量表和基于复发性口腔炎持续时间的皮质醇水平检查的压力有任何差异。
