Dr. Suwarna Dangore Khasbage

Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;The aim was to evaluate prevalence of psychological disorders in patients suffering from recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS), burning mouth syndrome (BMS) and oral lichen planus (OLP). Hundred participants were screened based on their clinical profile, and standardized psychiatric scales to establish relationships between oral health and psychiatric health. Anxiety was prevalent in patients of RAS while depression was prevalent amongst BMS patients and OLP patients which conclude that consideration should be given to psychological evaluation and psychotherapy in such patients during their management</p>
