[The nervous system function of patients with periodontitis].
Analysis of the function of the nervous system, based on clinical, neurological, and psychological studies in 78 patients with generalized periodontitis, revealed central regulation disorders without signs of organic lesions of the brain in 76% patients. The authors claim that stress and a high level of personal anxiety may be responsible for the development of these disorders, which was confirmed by the results of psychological testing.
