Interacciones mente-cuerpo en odontología: trastornos psicosomáticos y salud bucodental

Vaishnavi Bharmal, Vidya Ajila, Samrudhi Kashyap

Resumen


La cavidad oral funciona como un sensible barómetro diagnóstico del estado psiconeuroinmunológico de un individuo. Más allá de sus funciones primarias en la masticación y la fonación, el entorno oral es altamente sensible al eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-adrenal (HHA). El distrés psicológico crónico desencadena una cascada de cambios neuroquímicos que pueden alterar de manera significativa la homeostasis oral. Esta revisión pone de relieve la conexión, a menudo pasada por alto, entre el bienestar mental y la salud bucal, y enfatiza el papel crucial de los profesionales de la odontología y la psiquiatría en el reconocimiento de esta relación.
