Abstract

Introduction : Periodontitis and dental caries may be synergistically associated, negatively associated, or completely independent.The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between these two diseases and investigate the prevalence of dental caries in periodontitis.

Methods: This cross- sectional study has been performed in 180 samples in two groups: periodontal and control group during 2012-2013 in Babol Dental School.All 180 patients were divided into two groups, including 90 cases with chronic periodontitis as the periodontal group (PG) and 90 cases with healthy gums as the control group ( probing depth between 2- 3 mm) (HG).Clinical measurments including Gingival Index ( GI), Bleeding Index( BI), Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL), Periodontal Pocket Depth (PPD) were used to assess the severity of periodontal disease . The clinical features of control group were healthy gums , probing less than 3 mm in depth, and CAL< 1mm . The examination to measure AL was conducted using a Williams’s periodontal probe .In chronic periodontitis group , the patients had GI≥1 and CAL ≥ 1 .The assessment of caries of patients was conducted using bitewing radiography for proximal caries detection , dent on the use of explorer and direct observation. A p-value≤0.05 is considered as significant.

Results: The results of this study showed that the mean number of decayed and filled teeth (DFT) in periodontal group was 4.32 ± 0.17, and in healthy group was 2.16 ± 0.17.DFT in males with periodontitis was 4.85 ± 0.17 and in females was 4.3 ± 0.17 ,while the healthy males was 2.54 ± 0.17, and females was 2.25 ± 0.17 therefore, the mean DFT in the periodontal group was more than the healthy group (p≤0.05) .

Conclusion : Based on our findings, in patients with periodontitis, more dental carries were more significant than the healthy group.

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity as a pervasive phenomenon in recent years has the risky consequences on public and oral health and endangers the teeth especially periodontal tissues. This aim of this study was to assess the relationship of oral health (teeth and periodontal tissue) with obesity and anthropometric measures such as waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI).

Materials &Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 180 subjects in 3 groups of normal weight, over-weight and obese. Periodontal pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were recorded.  Multivariate logistic regression was also applied after adjusting for the confounding factors.

Results: Of 180 subjects, 54, 68 and 58 cases were normal, overweight and obese. 75 and 105 participants were male and female, respectively. Generally, a pocket depth was increased 1.394 times with one unit increase of BMI (OR: 1.394, 95% CI: 0.936-2.077). Dental caries index enhanced to 1.036 with one unit increase of waist circumference (WC) (OR: 1.036, 95% CI: 1.001-1.071). One centimeter rise of WC increased CPI up to 0.625 times (OR: 1.122, 95% CI: 0.053-0.078).

Conclusion: Obesity even in the absence of underlying systemic diseases can cause the potential risk in oral health.

Abstract

Introduction: Periodontal disease, characterized by bone resorption and tooth loss, is common in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The physical limitations associated with RA, compounded by immune system dysfunction, can predispose these patients to periodontal disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the parameters of periodontal disease and RA in patients referred to Bandar Abbas Shahid Mohammadi Hospital.
Materials & Methods: A total of 113 patients diagnosed with RA were evaluated for periodontal status using indices such as plaque index, bleeding index, gingival index, and clinical attachment loss (CAL). Data collection through questionnaires that collected information on demographic variables and analyzed.
Results: Of the participants, 108 (95.5%) were female and 5 (4.5%) were male, with a mean age of 50 years. The mean gingival index was 1.7, with 8% of patients having a gingival index of zero and 92% having a gingival index of ≥1. The mean gingival bleeding index was 0.69, with 32% having a zero index and 68% showing bleeding on probing. The mean plaque index was reported as 1.7, with 9% having a zero index and 91% having an index of ≥1. The mean CAL was measured at 4.1 mm.
Conclusion: The periodontal indices in Studied patients with RA were significantly high, indicating poor periodontal health. This deterioration may be attributed to the chronic inflammatory nature of RA, host immunodeficiency and the physical challenges of maintaining oral hygiene. It is therefore very important for these patients to maintain oral hygiene and have regular and thorough check-ups by a dentist.
