“…Similar observations had already been made (8,31), although an association with other factors, mainly socioeconomic ones, had not been investigated. However, Segundo et al (38), after having evaluated the prevalence and distribution of periodontal disease in Arturo’s African descendant community (Minas Gerais, Brazil), did not confirm the hypothesis of higher prevalence of periodontal disease in black ethnic groups.…”

This cross-sectional study evaluated the periodontal status and the presence of periodontopathogens in 132 young, black ethnic subjects who live in Salvador/Bahia-Brazil and have never smoked. Periodontal Probing Depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CAL), Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI) were measured and analyzed by ANOVA and Wilcoxon tests (p<0.05) according to gender and age. The presence of A.actinomycetemcomitans, P.gingivalis, E.corrodens and F.nucleatum was determined by PCR and was analyzed by ANOVA, Wilcoxon, Student-t tests (p<0.05). Mean values of PPD and CAL were 2.18 and 1.0mm, respectively. Clinical parameters did not show differences between subjects of varying gender and age. The microbial prevalence was observed to be 95.45% for E.corrodens followed by F.nucleatum with 68.18%, A.actinomycetemcomitans with 45.45% and P gingivalis with 40.9%. An association between the presence of pathogens and gender and age was not observed (p<0.05). PPD, CAL and PI were not associated with P.gingivalis; however, GI appeared in higher frequencies among subjects without P.gingivalis. In this young, black ethnic, Brazilian population, a high percentage (96.96%) of subjects harbored at least one selected periodontal pathogen, but most subjects showed a healthy periodontal status. Further investigations are required to evaluate the actual influence of the presence of these bacterial species.

“…Clinical signs such as gingival bleeding, supragingival calculus, probing depth and loss of insertion are indicators of periodontal disease that isolated or in association with other parameters, provide data to diagnose the presence or absence of periodontal inflammation [9]. Most epidemiological studies [3] follow the parameters recommended by the World Health Organization, and use periodontal disease indicators systematized in indices such as the periodontal community index (CPI) -gingival bleeding, calculus presence and bag depth.…”

Objective: This study aimed to describe the periodontal condition of adolescents and identify its potential determinants. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-based study (n=763) conducted in a city in Northern Minas Gerais. Multistage probability cluster sampling method was used. Trained and calibrated professionals carried out the intraoral examinations and the interviews at the participants’ homes. Logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with the periodontal condition. Results: It was found that around 30% of the adolescents presented periodontal changes, being gingival bleeding (14.1%) and dental calculus (14.0%) the most prevalent impairments. Periodontal changes were associated in adolescents who did not attend school (OR=1,9; p=0.031), attended public schools (OR=2,0; p=0.005), never went to the dentist (OR=1,7; p=0,047), used public/philanthropic services (OR=1,7; p=0,002), smoked (OR=1,6; p=0,003), consumed alcohol (OR=1,6; p=0,016) and self-perceived their oral health as too bad/bad (OR=2,4; p=0,032) and regular (OR=1,5; p=0,023). Conclusion: About one-third of adolescents have periodontal changes, which were associated with the type of school and type of dental service they attend, smoking, alcohol consumption and self-perception of oral health.

“…Observou-se que os moradores de Guarulhos que não completaram o ensino fundamental apresentaram maior prevalência de sangramento e cálculo dental, mantendo-se como variável explicativa no modelo multivariado conjuntamente com as variáveis sexo, hábito de fumar e tempo de consulta ao dentista. A baixa escolaridade também foi identificada em adultos no Brasil 26,39 e está relacionada com a perda precoce de dentes e o edentulismo 6,11 . Há uma relação consistente entre a baixa escolaridade e condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis, o que leva essas pessoas a terem menor acesso a produtos de higiene bucal 40,41 .…”
