Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to link lifestyle factors (Mediterranean diet adherence, stress, sleep quality, physical activity) to caries and apical periodontitis in 149 university-based individuals. Data included clinical and radiographic assessments and lifestyle questionnaires. Statistical tests and logistic regression were employed to analyze the relationships between these factors and oral health conditions.


Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between lifestyle (adherence to the Mediterranean diet, stress, sleep quality, and level of physical activity) with the presence of caries and apical periodontitis (AP) in a University-based cohort of individuals. A total of 149 patients were included in this cross-sectional study. In addition to clinical (cold test, percussion test, evaluation of tooth mobility) and radiographic (bitewing Rx, periapical Rx, and OPT) parameters, validated questionnaires were used to investigate patient's lifestyle. Data on the number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT score) and the severity of apical periodontitis (PAI score) were extrapolated from the available clinical and instrumental investigations. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the normal distribution of data; Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Mann-Whitney) was used to compare continuous variables. Fisher's test was used to compare dichotomized variables. A logistic regression model was performed for the multivariate analysis. ;
