This problem magnifies during postpartum period characterized by depressive symptoms in mothers indicating persistent low mood and feeling of worthlessness with easy fatigability, poor appetite, and sleep deprivation which leads to lack of interest in daily activities including oral health care.

None of the study has evaluated the association of Mental health and periodontitis during postpartum period.
Objectives-To assess the Association between Periodontal status and Mental health in Postpartum women Methods- Periodontal Status and Mental health status (by Mental Health Inventory) will be assessed in Women during postpartum period (6-8 weeks- 6 months after delivery).
Expected outcomes- Study of periodontal status during postpartum period may contribute in elucidating this interrelationship and helps to design better prevention strategies for women's mental health.
