Sažetak
Aim: The aim of the current investigation was to examine the occurrence of periodontal disease indices in out-patients referred to a specialist clinic for neurosurgery treatment and to explore possible associations between common systemic diseases and periodontal disease indices in a Greek out-patient adult population. Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of 728 out-patients, 340 males and 388 females aged 40 to 70 years. All individuals were clinically examined and filled in a health administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis of the questionnaire items was performed to assess possible associations between systemic diseases as independent variables and the presence of periodontal pockets of 5.00 mm or more, mild/moderate or severe clinical attachment loss and the presence or absence of bleeding on probing and visible dental plaque, respectively, as dependent variables. Results: The depth of periodontal pockets was significantly and positively associated with the presence of respiratory allergy (P<0.001) and diabetes mellitus (P<0.001), whereas clinical attachment loss was significantly and positively associated with the presence of respiratory allergy (P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (P<0.001) and rheumatoid arthritis (P= 0.048). In addition, bleeding on probing was significantly and positively associated with the presence of respiratory allergy (P= 0.009), cardiovascular disease (P<0.001) and diabetes mellitus (P<0.001) and significantly and negatively associated with the presence of hypertension (P<0.001), whereas the presence of dental plaque was positively associated with the presence of rheumatoid arthritis (P= 0.048). Conclusion: Significant
associations between investigated periodontal disease indices such as probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, bleeding on probing and dental plaque and systemic diseases such as respiratory diseases, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and rheumatoid arthritis were recorded.
