Influence of antidepressants in periodontal disease . Preliminary study 

Objective: : evaluate the influence of antidepressants in periodontal disease

Method: Experimental Group: People with psychological disorders who use medication for phobias
Control Group: People who do not consume
 Periodontal disease indicators were evaluated  with controlled pressure probe
Evaluated the plaque index, gingival index
Also with a sterile swab samples were taken from soft tissues, palate and  buccal mucosa.And with curette  subgingival plaque samples were taken

Result:

The results summarized in the specimens taken all patients:

Periodontal disease in mild and severe degrees (factor dependent, time consuming this drug)

Positive bleeding on probing in all patients in experimental group.
Candida albicans, as principal organism present in the mucosa swabin the same group. In mucosa Candida was observed in different species, mainly Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis,

Mainly found in periodontal pockets: Prevotella intermedia and Porphyromonas gingivalis.
Calculus Index, Gingival Index and Plaque Index, are high, statistically sinificate difference(p=0.001).

Conclusion:

Antidepressants  intake negatively affects periodontal gingival state , because patients are not sufficient to substantiate or refute it, for this reason the evaluation of samples relevant results continues longitudinally for a long time
