Clinical Trial Description

Literature reveals that there occurs masticatory dysfunction in patients with Stage III and IV Periodontitis.

Systemic diseases that may affect masticatory ability of the patient (sarcopenia, TMJ disorders, Xerostomia, Acute Pulpitis) 3. History of periodontal treatment within the 6 months 4. Patients wearing orthodontic appliances 5. Diagnosed psychiatric disorder 6. History of antibiotic use within the previous 3 months 7. History of use of Steroid, immunosuppressive and psychiatric drugs 8. Pregnant and lactating women 9. Smoking or substance abuse 10. History of Menopause Periodontal clinical parameters: Plaque Index, Gingival Index, Bleeding on Probing, Probing Pocket Depth, Clinical Attachment Level, Mobility Psychological Parameters: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale -14 and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 Quality of Masticatory Dysfunction Questionnaire and Objective evaluation of Masticatory Performance by mixing ability of Hubba Bubba chewing gum. The sample of 84 patients consisting of 42 cases and 42 controls.
