Latar Belakang: Hormon kortisol dalam cairan krevikular gingiva belum banyak diteliti. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan stres akademik terhadap status penyakit periodontal melalui kadar kortisol pada mahasiswa program spesialis FKG UI. Material dan metode: Pemeriksaan Graduate Dental Environtmental Stress (GDES), indeks periodontal (indeks periodontal modifikasi Russel), dan kadar kortisol dengan ELISA assay terhadap 38 subjek. Hasil: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara stres akademik dengan kadar kortisol (p=0,431), stres akademik dengan status penyakit periodontal (p=0,727), dan kadar kortisol dengan status penyakit periodontal mahasiswa spesialis FKG UI (p=0,347). Kesimpulan: Tidak ada hubungan antara stres akademik dengan status penyakit periodontal melalui kadar kortisol.

Background: Relationship between stress and periodontitis with cortisol hormone in crevicular gingival fluid have not been studied.

Objective: Analyzed relationship between academical stress spesialist students to periodontal status in relation to level of cortisol hormone in gingival crevicular fluid.

Material and Methods: 38 subjects examined stress by Graduate Dental Environment Stress; periodontal condition by modified Russel periodontal index, levels of hormone cortisol by ELISA.

Result: Relationship between stress and periodontitis (p=0,727), stress and cortisol hormone (p=0,431), cortisol hormone and periodontitis (p=0,347) were not significant.

Conclution: No relationship between stress, periodontitis, and level of cortisol hormone.
