Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of periodontal disease with different indices. Methods & materials: The study population consisted of multistage stratified random sample of 1300 subjects from total population of district Ghaziabad. A cross-sectional study was conducted with multi stage stratified random sampling techniques to select the sample population. The subjects were divided into different age groups and the periodontal assessment was made on the basis of CPITN index and ESI Index. Results: The CPITN has shown to estimate incorrect periodontal disease prevalence because of its underestimation of the disease severity. A huge difference was noticed in the prevalence rate of periodontitis when subjects were examined with ESI index. Conclusion Periodontal disease was found to be highly prevalent in the study population and severity of disease increased with age. More number of subjects in younger age group were found to be healthy.

Periodontal disease is a broad spectrum that involves different entities and severity levels of the disease. Dental implants, just like normal teeth, can be affected by periodontal disease. This descriptive questionnaire-based study provides a brief shot on the most prevalent periodontal diseases associated with dental implants, associated risk factors, and levels of understanding and awareness about oral hygiene in the Saudi population. Results concluded that 10.5% of population have dental implants. 28.5% the sample confirmed that they have some sort of periodontal disease. Most prevalent symptoms among patients with dental implants are in order: periodontal pockets, redness and blood spitting after tooth brushing, and finally gingival recession. Most associated co-morbidities are cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Regarding oral hygiene, through assessing two oral health concepts: twice daily tooth brushing, and balanced diet, it is found that more than half of the sample (51.3%) apply these two concepts in their life, while the rest of the sample misses one or both of these two concepts. Focus should be directed toward raising the public awareness about periodontal disease and its symptoms, especially in cases of dental implants, and raising understanding and awareness about different oral health concepts.

Introduction: According to World Health Organization, oral health means the retention throughout life of a functional, aesthetic and natural dentition of not less than 20 teeth and not requiring a prosthesis. The major reasons for tooth loss are dental caries and periodontal disease. Proper understanding of reasons for tooth loss helps to improve oral health. Objective: To identify the reasons and patterns of permanent teeth loss among patients attending Kantipur Dental College. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 403 patients aged 18 years and above attending Kantipur Dental College, Kathmandu by convenience sampling method. Data was collected through structured questionnaire and clinical examination and was analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 403 patients were examined of which 38% had tooth loss. Mean number of tooth loss was 2.99+3.44. Statistically significant difference was found in mean tooth loss between age groups and levels of education (P value < 0.001). Dental caries was the most common reason of tooth loss followed by periodontal disease. Most common reason for not saving the tooth was "tooth cannot be saved" (65.1%). Mandibular molars accounted for majority of tooth loss followed by maxillary molars. Conclusion: The results of the present study show that dental caries was the major cause of tooth loss irrespective of the age group. It points out the need to carry out oral health awareness and other preventive programs both at school and community levels.
