Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between negative emotion and chronic periodontitis. Methods: A total of 944 people, who were from Huocheng County, Yining City, Xinjiang Province, were selected and participated in the research object "Xinjiang multi-ethnic cohort study". According to the recorded periodontal pocket depth (PD) and attachment loss (AL), the subjects were divided into periodontal healthy group, mild Cp group, moderate Cp group, and severe Cp group. A questionnaire survey was conducted to compare the differences in a total of 11 variables in length of sleep (including siesta), sleep problems (at least three days a week), the frequency of snoring during sleep, whether depressed, whether in anxiety, self-cognition of physical status, and etc. Results: One-way analysis showed that 7 variables had influence on the prevalence of Cp (P<0.05). The multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis showed that there were four independent risk factors: an increasing number of dental caries, snoring, poor health, and depression. Conclusion: Negative emotions were significantly correlated with Cp. We are required to pay attention to the relationship between physical and mental health and oral health.
