Description
Resül Çolak and Murat İnanç Cengiz study quality of life and dental fear across gum disease stages in 2026. Just under one thousand clinic patients took part in Türkiye between late 2018 and late 2019. Groups ranged from healthy gums to mild and severe gum disease. All filled in two short surveys, one on daily life impact and one on fear of dental hygiene care.
Life impact scores climbed step by step as gum disease grew worse. Most survey sections differed across groups, with the severe group worst off. Clinical measures such as pocket depth and tooth loss were also logged for each person. The links suggest gum care plans should address fear and daily burden, not teeth alone.
