In modern society, evaluation and management of psychological stress may be important for the prevention of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological stress (vitality and mental activity) evaluated by Mind Monitoring System (MIMOSYS) and periodontal status. Forty students of Okayama University underwent the oral examination and self-reported questionnaire on the first day (baseline) and the 14th day (follow-up). Voice recording was performed every day with the MIMOSYS app during the whole study period. The participants completed the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) at baseline and at follow-up. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the significance of correlations among variables. The PHQ-9 and BDI scores were negatively correlated with vitality in the morning. Change in vitality in the morning was significantly correlated with changes in periodontal inflammation. Mental activity was significantly correlated with change in mean probing pocket depth. This result shows that measurement of psychological stress using a voice-based tool to assess mental health may contribute to the early detection of periodontal disease.
在现代社会，心理压力的评估和管理可能对预防牙周病很重要。本研究旨在探讨由 Mind Monitoring System（MIMOSYS）评估的心理压力（活力和精神活动）与牙周状况之间的关系。冈山大学的 40 名学生在第一天（基线）和第 14 天（随访）进行了口腔检查和自我报告问卷调查。在整个研究期间，参与者每天都使用 MIMOSYS 应用程序进行语音记录。参与者在基线和随访时完成了患者健康问卷（PHQ-9）和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。采用 Spearman 秩相关系数确定变量之间相关性的显著性。PHQ-9 和 BDI 评分与早晨的活力呈负相关。早晨活力的变化与牙周炎症的变化显著相关。精神活动与平均探诊深度的变化显著相关。该结果表明，使用基于语音的工具评估心理健康来测量心理压力可能有助于牙周病的早期发现。
