Social, somatic and dental status of patients with burnout syndrome

Abstract

The article reflects the results of a study of the relationship of emotional burnout syndrome (EBS) with the social status of patients and its impact on the somatic health and oral health of 146 patients aged 25 to 57 years. The survey showed that patients exposed to EBS by social status are more often unmarried, are urban residents, more often suffer from pathology of the cardiovascular system compared with emotionally stable patients. Respondents with a high level of EBS often complain about dryness and discomfort in the oral cavity in the form of tightness and roughness of the oral mucosa. As the level of EBS increases, oral hygiene worsens, general kinetic mobility and adsorption activity of epithelial cells of the oral mucosa suffer. However, the intensity of caries, as well as the frequency of detection of inflammatory periodontal diseases, do not change significantly depending on the degree of EBS.
