AB  - AIM AND OBJECTIVE: Assessment of dental caries, periodontitis, and personality 
      trait among population of Dehradun. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This survey was 
      conducted on 480 subjects age ranged 34-45 years of both genders (males-250, 
      females-230). Decayed Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, periodontal status, and 
      personality trait were recorded. RESULTS: Age group 34-39 years is comprised of 
      130 males and 140 females and 40-45 years had 120 males and 90 females. Maximum 
      males (120) were laborer and females were housewife (160). Commonly used method 
      of oral hygiene practice was tooth powder by 80 males and 103 females. Maximum 
      subjects of extroversion (180) was seen in age group 40-45 years, maximum females 
      (110) were housewife with extroversion trait, maximum extroversion trait subjects 
      were using tooth powder (113) and datum (100). Mean DMFT score in subjects was 
      2.52 and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) score was 3.41. 
      There were 310 extroversion subjects, 120 neuroticism subjects, and 50 
      combinations of both extroversion and neuroticism. There was a significant 
      difference in mean missing teeth and DMFT in subjects with different personality 
      traits (p < 0.05). The post hoc test showed that mean missing teeth between group 
      E and group E + N was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). The post 
      hoc test showed that the mean sextant value for score 2 between group E vs N 
      found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Neurotic individuals were found 
      to have poorer periodontal health as compared to extroverts. CONCLUSION: Authors 
      found that personality trait such as psychological factors have greater impact on 
      status of dental caries and periodontitis. Extroverts had less dental caries and 
      better periodontal status when compared to other personality traits. CLINICAL 
      SIGNIFICANCE: Psychological factors have a great impact on status of dental 
      caries and periodontitis. By assessing various psychological factors, the 
      occurrence of both can be avoided. Thus by improving oral health, overall health 
      of an individual can be improved.
