摘要：AbstractThe aim of our study was to investigate whether narcissism is associated with self-reported oral health status and oral-health- related behaviors in a sample of 120 first year medical students. The questionnaire included information about socio- demographic factors, behavioral variables, self-reported oral health status and narcissism. There were significant differences on narcissism levels according to several variables: gender, anxiety, stress and depression, self-rated oral health status, self- reported gingival condition and number of current extracted teeth. The results also showed that subjects with high levels of narcissism tend to visit their dentist mainly for check-up or for tooth cleaning and scaling.
