ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of periodontal status among dentate male adults in the general population of Jalore, Rajasthan using the Community Periodontal Index.

METHODS:

The condition of the periodontium was assessed by the Community Periodontal Index with use of the Community Periodontal Index probe. A total of 648 male subjects belonging to five age groups, namely 12, 15, 18, 35-44 and 65-74, were selected by stratified cluster sampling technique and examined.

RESULTS:

The proportion of total subjects with healthy periodontium was 9.7 percent and the mean number of healthy sextants was 1.7. Bleeding on slight provocation was the most commonly observed condition in all age groups, comprising 38.8 percent of the total subjects. The results showed that the proportions of subjects who reported bleeding, calculus and periodontal pockets decreased steadily with age and a high statistically significant difference was observed among various age groups (p<0.001).

CONCLUSION:

The results indicate that the study population has more widespread and severe periodontal destruction than other populations. Hence, to maintain periodontal health in this population, appropriate preventive and periodic periodontal therapies should be provided.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a epidemiologia do estado periodontal em homens adultos dentados na população geral de Jalore, Rajastão, utilizando o Índice Periodontal Comunitário.

MÉTODOS:

A condição do periodonto foi avaliada pela sonda Índice Periodontal Comunitário. Um total de 648 homens pertencentes a cinco faixas etárias, 12, 15, 18, 35-44 e 65-74, foram selecionados pela técnica de amostragem estratificada por conglomerados e examinados.

RESULTADOS:

A proporção de sujeitos com um periodonto saudável foi de 9,7 por cento e o número médio de sextantes saudáveis foi 1.7. Sangramento resultante de pouca provocação foi a condição observada mais comum em todas as faixas etárias, atingindo 38.8 por cento da amostra. Os resultados mostraram que as proporções de indivíduos com queixas de sangramento, cálculo e bolsas periodontais diminuíram de forma constante com a idade e houve diferença significativa entre as várias faixas etárias (p<0.001).

CONCLUSÃO:

Os resultados indicam que a população estudada apresenta uma destruição periodontal mais generalizada e grave que outras populações. Assim, para manter a saúde periodontal desta população, terapias periodontais preventivas adequadas e periódicas devem ser fornecidas.
