Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Aims are to assess periodontal health and salivary stress/ immunity responses in COVID-19 survivors

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    There are lack of data concerning oral health in COVID-19 survivors, nevertheless, many middle-aged patients with oral symptoms of Post-acute COVID-19 report xerostomia and taste impairment and suffer from oral hypofunction, thus may be susceptible to periodontitis and oral frailty. Post-acute or long COVID-19 is/would be the health hallmark of post-COVID-19 era, manifested as a multiplicity of clinical problems and requiring conceptual framework aiming at multidisciplinary health preserving activities. There are various factors which may affect oral and periodontal health in post-COVID-19 era, such as disruption of dental professional care due to the fear of infection, virus-induced disturbance of oral homeostasis and, as a common denominator- COVID-19-induced psychological stress. Expected results would not just offer epidemiological data but also, mechanistic background for defining risks and modified measures aiming to preserve oral health in post-COVID-19 era.
