<jats:p><jats:bold>Abstract</jats:bold> On the basis of clinical observations, some periodontologists have suggested an association between psychosocial factors such as depression, stress and anxiety, and adult onset rapidly progressive periodontitis (RPP). This study investigated more formally possible associations between a number of relevant psychosocial factors and RPP The significance of the psychosocial variables was assessed by comparing 3 groups: 50 patients with RPP, 50 patients with routine chronic adult periodontitis (RCAP). and 50 patients without significant periodontal destruction (controls). It was anticipated that the RPP group would show higher levels of psychosocial maladjustment than the RCAP and control groups. A between‐subjects multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that the combined psychosocial variables were significantly related to the periodontal diagnosis. 2 psychosocial factors, depression and loneliness, were significant in distinguishing between groups. The RPP group presented significantly increased depression and loneliness compared to the RCAP and control groups. Future research is indicated to further clarify the significance of these psychosocial differences in relation to the onset and progression of RPP.</jats:p>
