What is a significant factor contributing to necrotising periodontal diseases?
- Poor oral hygiene
- Lack of regular dental care
- Emotional stress
- Low sugar diet
π Explanation:
Emotional stress is a significant contributing factor to necrotising periodontal diseases (NPD) as it can suppress the immune system, making an individual more susceptible to bacterial infections and impairing the body's ability to fight off the disease. Other factors like poor oral hygiene and lack of regular dental care are also involved, but stress is a key predisposing factor.
