| description | Introduction: Present study was undertaken to determine the
prevalence of periodontal disease in an adult population and to
further characterize the extent and severity of the disease.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted
of 700 randomly selected individuals reporting to out patient
department of dental college and hospital. Demographic
details and lifestyle characteristics of the all the subjects were
recorded and a thorough oral examination was performed. In
order to evaluate the periodontal status of subjects, five indices
(CAL, PD, OHI, PI and GI) were assessed and subjects having
at least one site with clinical attachment loss (CAL) ≥3mm were
diagnosed as having periodontitis. Further, to analyse the extent
of disease, subjects having periodontitis were divided into two
groups as having at least one site with CAL ≥5mm and having
at least three sites with CAL ≥5mm.
Results: Results showed that there was a high prevalence
of periodontitis amongst population with almost 72% of the
individuals having at least one site with CAL ≥3mm. A trend
was noted in which periodontal status worsened as the age
increased. Analysing the extent and severity of disease amongst
the population, results revealed that almost 41% of population
had at least one site with CAL ≥5mm whereas almost 21% of
individuals had at least three sites with CAL ≥5mm.
Conclusion: Present study provides with evidence of high
prevalence of periodontal disease amongst the population.
Importantly, this study also unveils the lack of awareness for
dental health amidst the population. |
