Assessment of the Mental State of Patients in the Treatment of Dental Diseases in Mechanical Engineering Workers
Keywords:

This study evaluates the psychophysiological condition and oral health status of mechanical engineering workers exposed to occupational hazards. A comprehensive multi-year study was conducted using clinical, instrumental, and laboratory methods on workers with varying lengths of service. The findings reveal a strong association between occupational exposure (dust, vibration, noise, and chemical agents) and the prevalence of dental diseases, including caries and periodontal disorders. Psychophysiological factors, particularly stress and adaptation to dental treatment, were also found to influence oral health outcomes. An integrated system for early diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation was developed and implemented. This approach significantly reduced the severity and prevalence of dental diseases, improved quality of life, and enhanced work productivity. The results highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach that integrates clinical and psychophysiological aspects in maintaining workers’ oral health.
