The investigation of the association between systemic diseases and periodontitis in subjects referred periodontology clinic

Abstract

Aim: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of systemic diseases in subjects referred toperiodontology clinic, to evaluate whether there is a difference in risk of systemic disease existence betweensubjects with and without periodontitis and to assess whether there is any association between periodontitisand systemic diseases in this population. Material and methods: The 2737 medical and dental history formsof the subjects referred Periodontology Clinic of Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Dentistry whichwere archived in years 2004-2005 were assessed. Results: A total of 1887 patients were periodontitis while850 patients were not based on the anamnesis forms. The number of patients with systemic disease was 846(30.9%). The most common systemic disease was cardiovascular disease (12.1%) followed by endocrinediseases (7.2%), rheumatologic diseases (4.3%), infectious diseases (4.3%), hematologic disorders (3%),pulmonary diseases (2.9%), and dermatologic diseases (0.5%). There was significant difference regardingthe presence of systemic diseases between the subjects with and without periodontitis (p<0.001). Periodontitiswas found a risk factor for systemic disease existence with an odds ratio of 1.775 in logistic regressionanalysis. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that periodontitis patients had more systemic disease comparedwith subjects without periodontitis. Periodontitis may be a risk factor for systemic disease

THE INVESTIGATION OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SYSTEMIC DISEASES AND PERIODONTITIS IN SUBJECTS REFERRED PERIODONTOLOGY CLINIC

Abstract

ÖZET Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı; periodontitisi olan ve olmayan bireylerde sistemik hastalıkların prevalansını belirleyerek, bu bireyler arasında sistemik hastalık riski açısından farklılık olup olmadığını değerlendirmek ve incelenen populasyonda periodontitis ile sistemik hastalıklar arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2004- 2005 yılları arasında, Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Periodontoloji Kliniğine başvuran bireylerin, kaydedilmiş tıbbi ve dental anamnez formları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Anamnez formlarındaki klinik ve radyografik muayene kayıtlarına dayanarak; 1887 bireyde periodontitis olduğu belirlendi. Geriye kalan 850 bireyde ise periodontitis bulgusuna rastlanmadı. Bireylerin 846 sında (% 30,9) sistemik hastalık olduğu belirlendi. En sık görülen sistemik hastalıklar kalp-damar hastalıkları (%12,2) idi. Bunu endokrin hastalıklar (%7,2), romatizmal hastalıklar (%4,3), kan hastalıkları (%3), göğüs hastalıkları (%2,9) ve dermatolojik hastalıklar (%0,5) takip ediyordu. Periodontitisi olan ve olmayan bireyler arasında, sistemik hastalık varlığı açısından anlamlı farklılık izlendi (p<0,001). Lojistik regresyon analizinde sistemik hastalık riskinin periodontitisi olan bireylerde olmayanlara göre 1,775 olasılıklar oranı ile arttığı belirlendi. Sonuç: Bu araştırmanın sonuçları periodontitisi olan bireylerin olmayanlara göre daha fazla sistemik hastalığa sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Periodontitis sistemik hastalık varlığı için bir risk faktörü olabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: periodontitis, sistemik hastalıklar, diş kaybı, prevalans Abstract: Aim: The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of systemic diseases in subjects referred to periodontology clinic, to evaluate whether there is a difference in risk of systemic disease existence between subjects with and without periodontitis and to assess whether there is any association between periodontitis and systemic diseases in this population.
