ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine the association between overweight-obesity and periodontal disease in subjects who attended the clinic of Periodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, San Luis de Potosi, Mexico. This was cross-sectional study involving 88 subjects - 60 without overweight-obesity and 28 with overweight-obesity. The following clinical parameters were evaluated: dental bacterial plaque, index of calculus, gingivitis, probing depth and periodontal disease index (PDI). When comparing the group of subjects with overweight-obesity to the control, there were statistically significant differences in the variables calculus (p=0.0015), gingivitis (p=0.0050) and periodontal disease (p=0.0154). Regarding the logistic regression analysis, the dependent variable was subjects with and without overweight-obesity and the independent variables were sex, age and periodontal disease. We found statistically significant differences (p=0.0162) with OR=3.16 in periodontal disease. Periodontal disease showed statistically significant differences in the group of subjects with overweight-obesity. The oral health of subjects with overweight- obesity should be supervised and checked in order to prevent oral alterations.
El objetivo fue asociar el sobrepeso-obesidad con la enfermedad periodontal en sujetos que asistieron a la clinica de Periodoncia de la Facultad de Estomatologia de la Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi (UASLP) Mexico. Se realizo un estudio transversal con un total de 88 sujetos, 60 con sobrepeso-obesidad y 28 sin sobrepeso-obesidad. Los siguientes parametros clinicos fueron evaluados en el estudio: placa dentobacteriana, indice de calculo, profundidad de bolsa y enfermedad periodontal (PDI). Al comparar el grupo de sujetos con sobrepeso-obesidad con el control se encontraron diferencias estadisticamente significativas en las variables calculo (p=0.0015), gingivitis (p=0.0050) y enfermedad periodontal (p=0.0154). En relacion con el analisis de regresion logistica, la variable dependiente fue sujetos sin y con sobrepeso-obesidad y las independientes fueron: sexo, edad y enfermedad periodontal. Encontramos diferencias estadisticamente significativa (p=0.0162) con un OR=3.16 en enfermedad periodontal. La enfermedad periodontal mostro diferencias al comparar el grupo de sujetos con sobrepeso-obesidad con el control. Es necesario la prevencion, supervision y revision del estado de salud bucal de los pacientes con sobrepeso y obesidad para prevenir alteraciones bucales.

Aims and Objectives : A relationship between poor periodontal health and respiratory disease has been suggested by a number of recent studies. The present study was undertaken to evaluate potential association between respiratory diseases and periodontal health status and to co-relate the severity of periodontal disease with that of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Materials and Methods : 150 patients of COPD (test group) and 50 Patients without COPD (control group) were recruited for the study. Information regarding patient's demographic and socioeconomic status and lifestyle (history of smoking) were considered in the study. Patients with COPD were grouped into mild, moderate and severe category on the basis of Spirometry. Periodontal health was assessed by measuring probing pocket depth, Clinical Attachment Loss (CAL) and Oral Hygiene Index (OHI). Results : The results showed that the subjects with COPD had significantly more mean CAL) and a higher mean OHI than those without COPD. The risk for COPD appeared to be significantly elevated when attachment loss was found to be severe. A trend was noted in that lung function appeared to diminish as the amount of attachment loss increased. Conclusion : On the basis of the observed results of the study it can be concluded that the risk for COPD appeared to be significantly elevated when attachment loss was found to be severe. It is conceivable that oral interventions that improve oral health status may prove to lower the severity of lung infection in susceptible populations.

Background: Poor oral health status mayhave an impact on the health status of patients with chronic renal failure. Aim: To describe the oral health status of a group of Brazilian patients with chronic renal failure. Material and methods: Retrospective review of the medical records of patients with chronic renal failure, ofwhom 13 (4.5 percent) werein apre dialysis stage, 158 (55 percent) were on hemodialysis, 23 (8.4 percent) were on peritoneal dialysis and 92 (32.1 percent) were transplanted. General oral health, presence of dental calculus, and halitosis were recorded. The number of decayed, missed and filled teeth was analyzed by means of DMF-T (Decayed, Missed and Filled Teeth) índex. Resulte: The sample was composed of 152 men (53 percent) and 134 women (47 percent), aged 42±13 years. Oral health status was considered defective in most patients (83 percent). Eighty-seven percent had dental calculus and 55 percent had halitosis. Transplant patients reponed significantly less halitosis (40.2 percent) than the rest of the groups. The DMF-T for the whole population was 20.6 and had a positive correlation with age. Conclusions: This group of patients with chronic renal failure presented a poor oral health status. Dental treatment programs for these patients should be implemented to avoid the exposure to dental pathogens.
Introducción: Las alteraciones de la cavidad oral pueden tener impacto en la salud de pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica. Objetivo: Describir la salud oral de pacientes brasileños con insuficiencia renal crónica. Material y métodos: Revisión retrospectiva de las fichas dentales de pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica, de los cuales 13 (4,5 por ciento) estaban en etapa prediálisis, 158 (55 por ciento) estaban en hemodiálisis, 23 (8,4 por ciento) estaban en peritoneodiálisis y 92 (32,1 por ciento) habían sido trasplantados. Se registró la salud oral general, la presencia de tártaro y halitosis. El número de piezas faltantes y obturadas fue analizado utilizando el índice DMF-T (Decayed, Missed and Filled Teeth o dientes con cañes, faltantes y obturados). Resultados: La muestra estaba constituida por 152 hombres y 134 mujeres con una edad promedio de 42±13 años. La salud dental general era deficitaria en 83 por ciento y 87 por ciento tenía tártaro. El 55 por ciento tenía halitosis y ¡os pacientes trasplantados tenían este problema con una frecuencia significativamente menor que el resto de ¡os grupos. El índice DMF-T global fue 20,6 y tuvo una correlación positiva con la edad. Conclusiones: La salud oral de estos pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica es mala. Es importante implementar programas de tratamiento dental para estos pacientes para evitarla exposición a patógenos que pueden causar complicaciones sistémicas.

La finalidad del presente trabajo fue determinar la frecuenciade la caries, enfermedad periodontal y dientes perdidos en pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 y 2. Se realizó un estudio transversal con un total de 175 sujetos, 105 pacientes diabéticos y 70 sujetossin diabetes, distribuidos en los siguientes grupos: 1) 35 pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 (con valores de hemoglobina glucosilada de 6.5 a 7 por ciento), 2) 35 pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 (con valores de hemoglobina glucosilada mayores de 7 por ciento), 3) 35 sujetos sin diabetes mellitus tipo 1, 4) 35 pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 y 5) 35 sujetos sin diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Los sujetos se seleccionaron con un muestreo no probabilístico consecutivo. Los siguientes parámetros clínicos se evaluaron en todos los sujetos que participaron en el estudio: frecuencia de caries, dientes obturados, perdidos, restauraciones con prótesis (fija, removible y dentaduras completas), placa dentobacteriana, índice de cálculo, profundidad de bolsa y la pérdida de nivel de inserción epitelial. Al comparar los grupos de los pacientes diabéticos tipo 1 y el control no se encontramos diferencias estadísticamentesignificativas en todas las variables del estudio. Al comparar el grupo de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 con el control se encontraron diferencias en las variables dientes perdidos (p=0.0134),cálculo (p=0.0001), profundidad de bolsa (p=0.0009) y pérdida de nivel de inserción epitelial (p=0.0093). La enfermedad periodontal mostró diferencias al comparar el grupo de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 con el control. Es necesario la prevención,supervisión y revisión del estado de salud bucal de los pacientes diabéticos (tipo 1 y 2) para prevenir alteraciones bucales.
