Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Research & Development (IJDRD) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
AIM & OBJECTIVE: To compare stress levels, oral hygiene habits and periodontal status in subjects practicing yoga. METHOD: The exposure of interest is the stress level of the patient. 30 subjects were evaluated. Subjects were divided into four groups based on their yoga duration: >15, 10-15, 5-10 and <5 years. Periodontal status of the individuals was evaluated using clinical parameters. RESULTS: Comparison of the stress scale using one way ANOVA shows that mean value of >15 years is highest (54.25) followed by 10-15 years (44.25), 5-10 years (38) and least in < 5 years (31.38). Post hoc test showed better periodontal health in the yoga group (>15 years,10-15 years, 5-10 years, <5 years) (p < 0.001) (in all the four domains). CONCLUSIONS: Lifestyle modification with yoga practice may benefit the individuals with risk factor in overall maintanence of periodontal health.
