The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between geographic tongue and stress.
Method:This study was performed on 110 individuals; 60 cases with GT and 50 cases without GT. All of them filled a questionnaire of perceived stress scale (PSS) and evaluated by a psychologist.
Results:Among 120 patients selected, 60 persons suffered from geographic tongue, showed significant relationship between the occurrence of geographic tongue and stress especially among females at their third decade.
Conclusion:According to the results, there is a significant association between stress and GT and decreasing stress in GT patients can lead to the healing of the lesion.
