: Oral diseases remain among the most common non-communicable diseases worldwide, affecting almost half of the world's population. This is partly because there has been a separation of the mouth from the rest of the body and human health, and psychological aspects such as personality, thoughts, and emotions are not taken into account in the dental office. The objective was to analyze the relationship between oral health conditions and personality traits in adult patients who underwent dental treatment at the Center for Health Studies and Services. : This was a descriptive, observational, and correlational study, carried out at the Center for Health Studies and Services. A total of 184 patients who attended the dentistry area in the period from October 2022 to May 2023 participated in the study, of which 59.78% were women and 40.21% men. The age of the population was 18 to 79 years, with the age range of 21-40 years being the most prevalent (48.37%). : The results show that although the hygiene of the population treated was good (0.77 ± 0.79) and that the perception of oral health was positive (14.34 ± 9.43), the means and percentages of oral pathologies and parafunctional habits were high (i.e., DMFT: 9.98 ± 5.40; attrition: 87.50%; onychophagia: 45.10%). It is noteworthy that both the correlation, network, multiple line regression, and logistic regression analyses showed associations of the personality, gender, and age variables with a history of caries and oral hygiene as well as with parafunctional habits. : Therefore, variations in both the personality and the age and gender of the patients treated have repercussions on oral health conditions, which can be used in the prevention of oral diseases and in health promotion.
口腔疾病仍然是全球最常见的非传染性疾病之一，影响着几乎一半的世界人口。部分原因在于口腔与身体其他部位以及人类健康相分离，而且在牙科诊疗过程中未考虑个性、思想和情感等心理方面。目的是分析在健康研究与服务中心接受牙科治疗的成年患者口腔健康状况与个性特征之间的关系。 ：这是一项在健康研究与服务中心开展的描述性、观察性和相关性研究。共有184名在2022年10月至2023年5月期间到牙科就诊的患者参与了该研究，其中59.78%为女性，40.21%为男性。研究人群年龄在18岁至79岁之间，21 - 40岁年龄组最为普遍（48.37%）。 ：结果显示，尽管接受治疗人群的口腔卫生状况良好（0.77±0.79），对口腔健康的认知也较为积极（14.34±9.43），但口腔疾病和异常功能习惯的均值及百分比却很高（即龋失补牙指数：9.98±5.40；磨耗：87.50%；咬甲癖：45.10%）。值得注意的是，相关性分析、网络分析、多元线性回归分析和逻辑回归分析均表明，个性、性别和年龄变量与龋齿病史、口腔卫生以及异常功能习惯之间存在关联。 ：因此，接受治疗患者的个性以及年龄和性别的变化会对口腔健康状况产生影响，这可用于口腔疾病的预防和健康促进。
