Quantitative data Analysis was performed utilizing SPSS Software, while qualitative data were dissected utilizing topical investigation.


Results: Free t-tests, relationships, and various relapse investigations were directed to test the hypothesis. Autonomous t-tests showed huge contrasts in the commonness and the board of tooth loss in light of mental health status (t = - 2.35, p = .02 for nervousness; t = - 2.88, p = .004 for gloom). Correlation analysis uncovered a huge negative connection between mental health and tooth loss (r = - 0.30, p < .01), and critical positive connections between uneasiness and tooth loss (r = 0.25, p < .01) and misery and tooth misfortune (r = 0.28, p < .01). Regression Analysis showed that both nervousness and depression were huge indicators of tooth loss (β = .210, t = 3.16, p = .002, R² = .044 for uneasiness; β = .237, t = 3.62, p < .001, R² = .056 for depression).


Conclusion: The research planned to survey the relationship between Mental health and tooth loss.
