Objective: To assess the relationship between occupational stress and the periodontal condition of hospital nursing professionals. Methods: 46 nursing professionals previously diagnosed with occupational stress using the Bianchi Stress Scale and the Job Stress Scale (JSS) had their oral condition evaluated by a single, calibrated examiner. The examination included the DMFT index, visible plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, clinical attachment level, probing bleeding, suppuration, dental mobility, and furcation involvement. Subsequently, they were classified according to the criteria established by Papapanou et al., 2018. Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher's Exact test, Student's t-test, and Mann & Whitney test for multiple logistic regression were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Out of 46 individuals, 29 (63.04%) fell into some stage of periodontitis, and 33 (71.74%) already had some degree of periodontal involvement. The prevalence of gingivitis was 21.74% (10 individuals), with nursing technicians having a 90% lower chance of developing periodontitis or gingivitis when compared to nurses (p ≤ 0.050) (OR = 0.10). Conclusion: An association between periodontal disease and occupational stress was not found. Most individuals had or had a history of periodontal involvement (84.8%). The risk of a nurse being affected by periodontitis or gingivitis was higher when compared to nursing technicians.
