ABSTRACT
Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y trasversal de 415 pacientes con enfermedades periodontales -- seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple -- que acudieron al servicio estomatológico del Policlínico Docente "Camilo Torres Restrepo" de Santiago de Cuba, de enero a julio del 2013, con vistas a describir las características de las periodontopatías. Entre los resultados preponderantes figuraron: el sexo masculino (54,2 %), la gingivitis como condición periodontal (49,6 %) y el grupo etario de 50-59 años (38,6 %); asimismo, el factor de riesgo más frecuente fue la higiene bucal deficiente (89,2 %), seguida en menor porcentaje de la caries dental (75,7). Este problema de salud ha estado presente en la población de la mencionada área de salud hasta la actualidad, pero con la identificación de los factores de riesgo más relevantes, se podría prevenir o detener su desarrollo.
A descriptive and cross sectional study of 415 patients with periodontal disease -- selected by simple random sampling -- who went to the stomatological service of "Camilo Torres Restrepo" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to July, 2013, with the objective of describing the characteristics of the periodontopathies. Among the predominant results there were: the male sex (54.2%), gingivitis as periodontal condition (49.6%) and the age group 50-59 years (38.6%); also, the most frequent risk factor was the poor oral hygiene (89.2%), followed in lower percentage by dental cavity (75.7). This health problem has been present in the population of the aforementioned health area up to the present time, but with the identification of the most outstanding risk factors, its clinical course could be prevented or stopped.

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar la condición periodontal de individuos tratados con Prótesis Parcial Removible (PPR) y su relación con el diseño empleado. Metodología: La población estudiada consistió en 34 individuos rehabilitados con PPR en el pregrado de la Facultad de Odontología de la UCV que aceptaron ser evaluados de acuerdo a Consentimiento Informado aprobado por la Comisión de Bioética de la Facultad de Odontología y que su plan de tratamiento incluía la instalación de una PPR Clase I o II de Kennedy mandibular. Los parámetros periodontales evaluados en los dientes pilares y no pilares fueron: Índice de Placa (IP), Índice Gingival (IG), profundidad de surco gingival (PSG) (promedio en mm) y movilidad dental con el método Periotest (VPT). En relación al diseño se consideró el tipo de retenedor directo y conector mayor empleado. Las variables, fueron comparadas aplicando la prueba de Chi-cuadrado, considerando un nivel de significancia de p < 0,05. Resultados: El IP, PSG y VPT de los dientes pilares fueron mayores a lo observado en los dientes no pilares con diferencias estadísticamente significativas. Conclusiones: La condición periodontal según los parámetros observados no es la ideal y los dientes pilares tienen un grado de afectación mayor; la aplicación del retenedor combinado colado-forjado está supeditada a la condición periodontal observada, mientras que la condición periodontal parece no haber influenciado la selección del conector mayor
Periodontal condition evaluation of individuals treated with removable partial dentures and association to prosthesis design.The purpose of this study was to analyze the periodontal condition of individuals treated with removable partial dentures (RPD) and the relationship with prosthesis design. Methodology: 34 individuals rehabilitated with RPD, by undergraduate dental students, were included in the study after approval of ethical consent. As inclusion criteria, all RPD consisted in mandibular Class I or II of Kennedy. Periodontal parameters evaluated in abutment and non-abutment teeth were as follow: Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), depth of gingival sulcus (DGS) (mean of values expressed in mm) and tooth mobility using the Periotest method (VPT). Regarding to prosthesis design, type of major connector and direct retainer were considered. Variables were compared using Chi2 test, and p values <0,05 were considered statistically significant. Results: PI, DGS and VPT in abutment teeth were higher tham non abutment teeth and this values were statistical difference. Conclusions: periodontal status analyzed by parameters is not ideal, and abutment teeth are more affected, the use of wire wrought clasp is related with periodontal status. Additionally, selection of major connector in the design was not influence by periodontal status

Se analizó el grado de complejidad de 103 sujetos parcialmente edéntulos que requieren tratamiento con Prótesis Parciales Removibles y se estableció su relación con la condición periodontal. El 55,3% corresponde a los grados I y II de complejidad y el 44,7% corresponde a los dos niveles superiores de complejidad. En la evaluación de los promedios de índice de placa, índice gingival y profundidad de surco gingival no se evidencia relación entre el grado de alteración periodontal y el grado de complejidad del caso. En la evaluación de los promedios de movilidad dental si se evidenció una relación con el grado de complejidad del caso con diferencias estadísticamente significativas.
It had been analyzed the complex degree of 103 subjects that need removable partial denture treatment to establish their relation with periodontal condition. The 53,3% of those subjects were in I and II of complexity degrees and the other 44,7% were in upper degrees of complexity. The average evaluation of plaque index, gingival index and probing depth did not show relationship with periodontal alteration and complexity degree, therefore, in dental mobility average evaluation, it had been in evidence that there was a relation with complexity degree.
ABSTRACT
Este estudo investigou a relação entre as condições de saúde oral, a saúde sistêmica e os fatores sociodemográficos em idosos brasileiros, canadenses e imigrantes canadenses, relacionados à qualidade de vida. Um total de 602 pessoas, com idade entre 60 e 85 anos, participaram voluntariamente deste estudo: 202 brasileiros, 189 canadenses e 211 imigrantes canadenses (78 chineses, 125 indianos e 8 vietnamitas). Os fatores sociodemográficos analisados foram: gênero, idade, nível educacional, estado civil, moradia e renda. A condição de saúde oral avaliou o número de dentes presentes, dentes perdidos, cariados, restaurados, hígidos, além de possuir próteses dentárias, os tipos de prótese dentária, além da condição periodontal, como profundidade de sondagem, recessão gengival, nível de inserção periodontal, mobilidade dental, índice de placa e gengival. A condição sistêmica foi baseada no auto-relato, dados sobre doenças diagnosticadas e os medicamentos que estavam em uso. A qualidade de vida foi mensurada usando o Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Índex (GOHAI), o Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) e o World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref), que foi administrado através de entrevista pessoal. Os resultados mostraram que 65 idosos brasileiros eram edêntulos e que os brasileiros dentados tinham perdido mais dentes, 20,10 ± 10,38 dentes. Os idosos canadenses permaneciam com mais dentes, 25,51 ±15,08 dentes, e tinham mais dentes restaurados (11,13 ± 5,72 dentes). Os idosos imigrantes canadenses tinham mais dentes hígidos,15,45 ±7,71 dentes, e mais dentes cariados, 2,96 ±3,03. A prótese dentária mais facilmente encontrada eram as Próteses Totais e as Próteses Parciais Fixas, mas mais de 50% era insatisfatórias. Em relação à condição periodontal, os idosos imigrantes canadenses tinham as maiores profundidades de sondagem, os idosos brasileiros tinham as maiores recessões gengivais (1,81 ± 1,26mm) e a maior perda de inserção periodontal (3,49 ±0,96mm...
This study investigated the relationship between oral health condition, general health and sociodemographic factors in Brazilian, Canadian and Canadian immigrant elderly people related to the quality of life. A total of 602 subjects aged 60 to 85 years volunteered, being 202 Brazilian, 189 Canadian and 211 Canadian immigrant elderly individuals (among the latter, 78 Chinese, 125 Indian and 8 Vietnamese). The sociodemographic factors analyzed included gender, age, educational level, marital status, having an own house and income. Analysis of the oral condition comprised the number of present teeth, sound teeth, decayed teeth, filled teeth, missing teeth, the use of dental prosthesis, as well as the periodontal status (probing depth at six sites per tooth, gingival recession, attachment loss, plaque index, gingival index, and tooth mobility). Systemic diseases were recorded based on subjects self-reports of the diseases with which they were currently diagnosed, as well as the medications they were using. The quality of life was measured using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI), the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref), which were administered by a personal interview. The results showed that 65 Brazilian elderly adults were edentulous and that Brazilian dentate subjects had more missing teeth (20.10 ± 10.38); the Canadian elderly adults retained more teeth (25.51 ±15.08) and had more filled teeth (11.13 ± 5.72); the Canadian immigrant elderly adults had more sound teeth (15.45 ± 7.71) and more decayed teeth (2.96 ± 3.03). The dental prosthesis most commonly found was complete dentures and fixed partial prosthesis, but more than 50% were unsatisfactory. Concerning the periodontal condition, the Canadian immigrant elderly men had the deepest probing depth values, the Brazilian elderly adults had the largest gingival recession 1.81±1.26mm) and the greatest attachment loss...

PURPOSE: The non-carious cervical lesion(NCCL) is a loss of tooth structure at the neck of affected teeth that is unrelated to tooth caries. The reported prevalence of NCCL varies from 5% to 85%. Prevalence and severity of lesions have been found to increase with age. They are becoming more significant as people live longer and become more aware of the importance of oral health. The purposes of this study were first, to examine the periodontal conditions associated with NCCL, and second, to investigate the clinical effects of class V restorations of NCCL on periodontal tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sample size was 982 teeth of 50 subjects(25 male, mean age 52+/-7) who were seen at the Department of Periodontology, Pusan National University Hospital. At the baseline examination, clinical periodontal parameters were measured. After the initial examination, 24 patients who were absent from hypersensitivity were selected. The teeth with NCCL were randomly divided into the test and control groups. The teeth in the test group were restored with flowable resin; the control teeth were not restored. Six months later, the clinical examinations were repeated. The data were analyzed using the SPSS program. RESULTS: The results were as follows: 1) NCCL occurred on 45.8% of examined teeth. The percentage of affected teeth was higher in maxillary and premolar teeth. 2) The shallow saucer type was the most common. 3) Teeth with NCCL had more gingival recession, lower attachment level, and higher incidences of bleeding on probing(BOP) and plaque than NCCL-free teeth. 4) Six months later, gingival recession, attachment level, the percentages of BOP and plaque in the test group were lower than in the control group(p<0.05). CONCLUSION: NCCLs were more found in maxillary teeth, especially in premolar teeth. The results suggest that the restoration of NCCL could affect some periodontal parameters favorably
