Summary

This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the relationship between bruxism, anxiety, and periodontal status among fourth- and fifth-year dental students at Al-Hawash Private University. Bruxism is a parafunctional habit that may be influenced by psychological stress and anxiety, and it may be associated with periodontal changes. Dental students are an important population to study due to their academic workload and potential stress exposure. The study will assess probable bruxism, anxiety levels, and periodontal parameters to identify possible associations between these variables.
