Acerca de la investigación
This study investigates whether there is an association between periodontal disease (gum disease) and chronic neck pain and related functional disability. Participants aged 30-55 years will be grouped based on their periodontal health status (healthy, gingivitis, or periodontitis). Neck pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and functional disability will be measured using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). The study aims to determine whether periodontal disease severity is linked to the severity of neck pain and disability, which may help clarify a potential connection between oral health and musculoskeletal health.
Leer la descripción completa
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissues supporting the teeth, and has been increasingly linked to systemic inflammatory processes that may contribute to musculoskeletal pain conditions. Chronic non-specific neck pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint with a multifactorial etiology, and inflammatory mechanisms have been proposed as one potential contributing pathway.
This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the association between periodontal disease status and chronic non-specific neck pain and related functional disability. Participants will undergo a periodontal examination, including assessment of gingival index, plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and radiographic bone loss, and will be classified into periodontal health categories according to the 2017 World Workshop classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions.
Neck pain intensity and functional disability will be assessed using validated outcome measures. Associations between periodontal disease severity and neck pain/disability outcomes will be examined, along with potential confounding factors.
Findings from this study may contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between oral health and musculoskeletal health, and may inform future interdisciplinary approaches to patient assessment and care.

Población del estudio
Adults aged 30-55 years attending the Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, who will be classified into three groups based on periodontal health status: clinically healthy periodontium, gingivitis, or periodontitis (Stage I-IV).

Healthy
Participants with a clinically healthy periodontium, showing no clinical signs of gingival inflammation, attachment loss, or bone loss on periodontal examination.
Gingivitis
Participants diagnosed with gingivitis based on clinical periodontal examination, showing signs of gingival inflammation without attachment or bone loss.
Periodontitis
Participants diagnosed with periodontitis (Stage I, II, III, or IV) according to the 2017 World Workshop classification of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions.

Medidas principales
Neck Pain Intensity (Visual Analog Scale, VAS)
Plazo: Assessed at the time of study enrollment (baseline, single time point)
Neck pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10-cm horizontal line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Participants will mark the point that best represents their current level of neck pain. Scores will be compared across periodontal health groups (healthy, gingivitis, periodontitis).
Neck-Related Functional Disability (Neck Disability Index, NDI)
Plazo: Assessed at the time of study enrollment (baseline, single time point)
Functional disability related to neck pain will be assessed using the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a validated 10-item self-report questionnaire evaluating the impact of neck pain on daily activities. Scores will be compared across periodontal health groups (healthy, gingivitis, periodontitis).
