Assessment of Periodontal Status in Patients with Oral Lesions - A Retrospective Study in South Indian Population

Shade selection is a very important part of the treatment as it dictates the final outcomes of treatment and patient satisfaction. The most prevalent shade used in dentistry is A2/B2 shade for crown fabrication. This study was conducted on the south Indian population of the Saveetha dental college university where out of 617 patients were analysed so that the shade choices used in crown fabrication is assessed. This university based study involved the collection of data from the database from which cases of crown fabrication shade were selected and cross verified. All the data was compiled and tabulated in Microsoft Excel and exported to IBM SPSS 20. Data was represented through frequency distribution tables and Chi square tests. The highest frequency of shade used for crown fabrication amongst the South Indian population was A2 in males and females, the second most commonly used shade was A1 in females and A3 in males. Within the limitation of this study, it was found that the most common shade for crown fabrication used in the south Indian population was A2 shade, followed by A3 shade in males and A1 shade in females. The least commonly used shade was A4. The maximum cases which had a requirement of crown fabrication with esthetically pleasing shade were under the age group of 21 - 30 yrs.

The Relationship

ABSTRACT Aim The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between obesity and periodontal status as well as evaluate its association with other demographic variables like age and gender among patients in KLE Society’s Institute of Dental Sciences, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Materials and methods A total of 200 patients (aged between 18 and 70 years) visiting the KLE Dental College in Bengaluru were analyzed for obesity and periodontal status. The body mass index (BMI) was used as an indicator of obesity and calculated as the ratio of the subject’s body weight (in kg) to the square of the height (in meters). Periodontal status was evaluated using community periodontal index (CPI). The relationship between BMI and periodontal status was assessed using binary multiple logistic regression analysis. Results Results indicated a positive correlation between BMI and periodontitis in the study group. Logistic regression analysis revealed that risk of periodontitis increases by 38% for each 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI. The risk of periodontitis increases with increase in age and influence of gender is not found to be significant. Conclusion Obesity could be a potential risk factor for periodontitis. Estimation of the BMI could, thus, be used in periodontal risk assessment. Clinical significance Obesity, as measured by BMI, is hypothesized to be involved in immunoinflammatory alterations, including periodontitis. The study also showed that obesity can be a potential risk factor for periodontitis. The BMI measurement should be used regularly as a part of periodontal risk assessment. Moreover, periodontists should counsel obese persons regarding the possible oral complications of obesity, to diminish morbidity for these individuals.
