The world’s elderly population is growing faster than other age groups. The World Health Organization states that in 2020, Indonesia’s elderly population will reach 11.34% of the total population, or around 28.8 million people. The increasing number of elderly people can be a challenge for clinicians due to the degenerative changes caused by chronic diseases, treatment of chronic diseases, systemic conditions, and oral health care accessibility. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that increase the risk of periodontal disease in the elderly. Over the last few years, a lot of research has focused on identifying the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic disease as well as the link between periodontal disease and aging. Increased age relates directly and proportionally with increased prevalence and severity of periodontal disease. Furthermore, an increase in age causes a decrease in motoric function and an increase in comorbidities and their treatments in the elderly. The aging process causes cementum surface irregularities, inhibition of osteoblast activity, and reduction in the number of fibroblasts. Loss of attachment and alveolar bone resorption was affected by frequent exposure to other risk factors. The risk factors that influence the development of periodontal disease in the elderly include systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis, systemic conditions, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and stress, treatment of systemic diseases, and limited access to oral health care. Although the potential link between periodontal disease and systemic disease has been established, the extent of this relationship has not yet been clearly explained. Understanding the factors that influence periodontal disease in the elderly is important because it may provide a better understanding of the treatment. The multiple risk factors that cause periodontal disease in elderly patients require special attention involving multidisciplinary teams.

Introduction: Rates of periodontal disease and tooth loss are increased in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Understanding factors that contribute to the increased burden of periodontal disease in RA is critical to improving oral health and arthritis outcomes. Objectives: To determine the perceptions held by people with RA relating to their oral health, to identify patient-centered priorities for oral health research, and to inform optimal strategies for delivering oral health knowledge. Methods: Semistructured interviews were conducted with patients with RA. Recorded interview transcripts were iteratively reviewed to reveal surface and latent meaning and to code for themes. Constructs were considered saturated when no new themes were identified in subsequent interviews. We report themes with representative quotes. Results: Interviews were conducted with 11 individuals with RA (10 women [91%]; mean age, 68 y), all of whom were taking RA medication. Interviews averaged 19 min (range, 8 to 31 min) and were mostly conducted face-to-face. Three overall themes were identified: 1) knowledge about arthritis and oral health links; 2) oral health care in RA is complicated, both in personal hygiene practices and in professional oral care; and 3) poor oral health is a source of shame. Participants preferred to receive oral health education from their rheumatologists or dentists. Conclusions: People with RA have unique oral health perceptions and experience significant challenges with oral health care due to their arthritis. Adapting oral hygiene recommendations and professional oral care delivery to the needs of those with arthritis are patient priorities and are required to improve satisfaction regarding their oral health. Knowledge Translation Statement: Patients living with long-standing rheumatoid arthritis described poor oral health–related quality of life and multiple challenges with maintaining optimal oral health. Study findings indicate a need for educational materials addressing oral health maintenance for patients with rheumatic diseases and their providers.

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this case report is to present a case of rapidly growing large pregnancy tumor which did not regress even after parturition. Introduction Pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring benign inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and oral mucosa. It usually arises in response to nonspecific infection as sessile or pedunculated, erythematous, exophytic papule or nodule with a smooth or lobulated surface that bleeds easily. Pyogenic granuloma occurring during the pregnancy is called as pregnancy tumor. Case report In this case report, a rapidly growing pregnancy tumor in a 23-year-old female is described and the clinical features, histopathologic features and management of the lesion are discussed. Pregnancy tumor rarely reaches 2 cm in size, however in our case the lesion had enlarged to an extent that it was interfering with occlusion (3 × 2 cm). Even after parturition the enlargement showed no regression in size, so the lesion was surgically excised. Conclusion Lack of awareness among pregnant patients about oral health care during pregnancy results in occurrence of various oral lesions which challenges the dentist and gynecologist in providing proper treatment. Hence creating oral health care awareness among such patients is of utmost importance. Clinical significance The prenatal oral health check-up and counselling is important in preventing the occurrence of various oral lesions during pregnancy.

Abstract BackgroundPeriodontal disease is one of the most important common oral diseases contributing to the global burden of chronic disease. Systematic reviews have demonstrated that poor periodontal condition during pregnancy was significantly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth, low birth weight, preeclampsia, etc. Oral health care is often a neglected area in low- and middle- income countries, particularly in rural areas due to the limited health human resources and poor infrastructures resources. Very few studies have explored the risk factors of periodontal disease among pregnant women in rural areas of China.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 648 women between 2 and 28 weeks of gestation at an antenatal clinic in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Leping, Jiangxi Province, China. Periodontal Screening & Recording (PSR) was used to determine periodontal disease. Data on respondents’ demographic characteristics, gestational age, regular oral health habits, and mental health condition were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. ResultsThe prevalence of periodontal disease in pregnant women was 79.78% (95% CI: 76.7%~82.7%). Periodontal disease was significantly associated with increased maternal age (aOR =1.13, 95%CI: 1.06~1.21, P<0.001) and gum bleeding during tooth brushing (aOR =3.76, 95%CI: 2.05~7.00, P<0.001). The severity of periodontal disease advanced with the increased maternal age and gum bleeding during pregnancy. ConclusionsPregnant women with increased maternal age and gum bleeding during tooth brushing were at a higher risk of periodontal disease and needed to have the access to oral health care.
