ABSTRACT

To assess the association between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases in dental patients in Cameroon, a prospective observational study was carried out in 3 hospitals in Cameroon from January 2013 to December 2015. Data on general condition, age, gender and lifestyle were collected during medical history taking. The Dutch Periodontal Screening Index assessed periodontal health during oral examination. The Wilcoxon test, the Fisher test and logistic regression analysis were performed. 558 patients (53.9% women) were included in the study. The mean age was 44±13 years (30 to 85). In terms of overall health, 161 (28.9%) had cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and 73 (13.1%) had diabetes. Hypertension accounted for 87.6% of CVD. In terms of periodontal diseases (PD), 431 (77.2%) patients had PD, the break-down by PD was 347 (62.2%) gingivitis and 84 (15%) periodontitis. Statistical associations were found between CVD and gingivitis [OR=4.30 (1.85-10.00), P=0.001], and CVD and periodontitis [OR=2.87 (1.04-7.93); P=0.04]

ABSTRACT

Background: Pulp stone; though of an unclear aetiology; is clinically common. It potentially poses procedural difficulty to the endodontist and may also be a marker of an underlying systemic condition. Objectives: The study investigated pulp stone occurrence in adult restorative patients. It also highlighted the relationship between pulp stone and pristine posterior teeth; chronic periodontitis and posterior teeth with abrasion; as well as the effect of age and gender on pulp stone occurrence. Method: Three hundred subjects; aged 18-60 years participated in the cross sectional study. Pristine teeth; teeth with chronic periodontitis and those with abrasion were recruited. Result: Pulp stone was seen more often in the 41-50 years age band; in molars and in teeth with chronic periodontitis but less often in teeth with abrasion. In addition; coronal and free form of pulp stone were more popular. Conclusion: It is recommended that researchers should pay special care in case selections; and during biomechanical coronal instrumentation

ABSTRACT

Introduction : Les parodontites sont des pathologies infectieuses associées à différentes maladies générales dont les pathologies respiratoires. L'objectif de ce travail était d'évaluer la distribution des parodontites chez les sujets atteints d'affections respiratoires en milieu hospitalier. Matériels et méthodes : Il s'agissait d'une étude descriptive transversale basée sur un recrutement de patients hospitalisés ou venus en consultation au Service de Pneumologie de l'hôpital Fann. Les patients atteints de tuberculose n'ont pas été inclus. La distribution de l'atteinte parodontale a été évaluée par les mesures des profondeurs de poche (PP) au sondage et la perte d'attache clinique (PAC) à l'aide de la sonde parodontale de Williams. Résultats : Un échantillon de 70 patients dont 25 femmes et 45 hommes a été sélectionné pour cette étude. La moyenne d'âge était de 42 ans ± 4,2.La prévalence des pneumopathies bactériennes était de 54,3%, celle des Broncho Pneumopathies Chroniques Obstructives (BPCO) de 22,9%. Des profondeurs de poche ≥4mm ont été retrouvées chez 50% des sujets et 64,7% ont présenté une perte d'attache clinique ≥2mm.Les profondeurs de poche étaient plus importantes chez les patients atteints de pneumopathie bactérienne et de BPCO. Conclusion : La prévalence élevée des parodontites nécessite une collaboration entre pneumologue et parodontologiste afin de limiter les effets délétères d'une mauvaise condition orale sur la santé générale

ABSTRACT

L'index communautaire des besoins en traitements parodontaux (I.C.B.T.P.) a ete utilise afin d'evaluer l'atteinte parodontale chez 133 sujets ages de 15 a 64 ans et de determiner leurs besoins en traitement. Les maladies parodontales sont severes parmi eux. La frequence de celles-ci augmente avec l'age; et les patients en sont pratiquement inconscients. De meme; la motivation fait defaut; tant chez les patients que chez les chirurgiens-dentistes
