“…Paleopathological studies have indicated that diseases of the gums and tooth loss are as old as humanity. Children and adolescents can have any form of periodontitis as described in the proceedings of the 1999[1] International Workshop of Classification of Periodontal Diseases and Conditions. Epidemiologic studies indicate that gingivitis of varying severity is nearly universal in children and adolescents.…”

Background:Periodontitis is a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the supporting tissues of the tooth. Both aggressive periodontitis (AP) and chronic periodontitis (CP) have a multifactorial etiology, with dental plaque as the initiating factor. However, the initiation and progression of periodontitis are influenced by other factors including microbiologic, social and behavioral and systemic and genetic factors. The prevalence of periodontal diseases varies in different regions of the world according to the definition of periodontitis and the study population, and there are indications that they may be more prevalent in developing than in developed countries.Materials and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted among the adolescents of 15-18 years of age in Mangalore City. One thousand one hundred students aged 15-18 years were selected for the study from the schools and colleges in Mangalore City using a convenient sampling method. The prevalence of AP and CP were assessed in the study using a community periodontal index. Students who were diagnosed clinically and radiographically were subjected to microbiological examination to confirm AP.Results:A high prevalence of gingivitis and periodontitis was found in students belonging to the lower socioeconomic status group compared with the higher socioeconomic groups, which were associated with poor oral hygiene habits. The prevalence of AP was found to be 0.36% and that of CP was found to be 1.5%.Conclusion:Oral diseases have a significant impact on the social and psychological aspects of an individual's life. Exposure to risk factors, such as age, low socio-economic status, poor education, low dental care utilization, poor oral hygiene levels, smoking, psychosocial stress and genetic factors are significantly associated with an increased risk of periodontitis among adolescents. Although genetic factors play a major role in periodontitis, the treatment outcome will still be influenced by environmental and behavioral factors.

“…Assim, os dados relacionados às condições periodontais de adultos jovens ainda são escassos 2,11 . O foco dos estudos sobre doença periodontal está voltado para populações de meia-idade ou idosas, nas quais a severidade da doença é elevada; diversamente, os estudos em indivíduos jovens costumam se concentrar na investigação das formas agressivas de periodontite [11][12][13] . A doença periodontal não acomete apenas adultos com idade acima de 35 anos.…”

“…A gengivite, por exemplo, é a forma mais comum e prevalente de doença periodontal em crianças e adolescentes. Ela pode ter seu início na infância e na adolescência, e progredir lentamente durante toda a vida 13 . Considerandose o caráter cumulativo de destruição dos tecidos periodontais, torna-se imprescindível a compreensão das suas características epidemiológicas e clínicas no início do curso da doença.…”

INTRODUÇÃO: A doença periodontal pode ter seu início na infância e na adolescência, e progredir lentamente ao longo da vida. Em universitários, a forma mais comum e prevalente da doença é a gengivite. OBJETIVO: Mensurar a condição de saúde periodontal de uma amostra de universitários e verificar existência da associação com variáveis sociodemográficas e os fatores de risco envolvidos. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: A amostra consistiu de 306 universitários voluntários, com idade entre 19 e 35 anos, sendo usados como indicadores de saúde bucal os índices: Índice Periodontal Comunitário (CPI) e Índice de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados (CPO-D). Para processamento e análise dos dados, foi usado o programa SPSS versão 18.0. A classificação da condição periodontal foi dicotomizada em CPI < 3 e CPI > 3. Realizou-se regressão logística bivariada e multivariada para analisar a associação entre a condição periodontal e as variáveis independentes. RESULTADO: A amostra consistiu de 51,3% de mulheres e 48,7% de homens, tendo a maioria renda menor do que 6 salários mínimos. Observou-se que 14,4% da amostra era livre de cárie. A pior condição periodontal foi encontrada no sextante 6 e 20,9% da amostra apresentou bolsas rasas em ao menos um sextante. Houve associação entre a condição periodontal e as variáveis: gênero, renda, nível de higiene bucal e uso do fio dental (p < 0,05); entretanto, não houve associação entre aquela e o CPO-D da amostra (p = 0,48). CONCLUSÃO: A amostra apresentou leve condição de doença periodontal, com ausência de bolsas periodontais profundas. Indivíduos do gênero feminino, de renda acima de 4 salários, com bom nível de higiene bucal e que usam o fio dental tiveram melhor condição de saúde periodontal.

Severe Periodontitis Is Inversely Associated with Coffee Consumption in the Maintenance Phase of Periodontal Treatment

et al. 2014

This cross-sectional study addressed the relationship between coffee consumption and periodontitis in patients during the maintenance phase of periodontal treatment. A total of 414 periodontitis patients in the maintenance phase of periodontal treatment completed a questionnaire including items related to coffee intake and underwent periodontal examination. Logistic regression analysis showed that presence of moderate/severe periodontitis was correlated with presence of hypertension (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.99, p < 0.05), smoking (former, OR = 5.63, p < 0.01; current, OR = 6.81, p = 0.076), number of teeth present (OR = 0.89, p < 0.001), plaque control record ≥20% (OR = 1.88, p < 0.05), and duration of maintenance phase (OR = 1.07, p < 0.01). On the other hand, presence of severe periodontitis was correlated with smoking (former, OR = 1.35, p = 0.501; current, OR = 3.98, p < 0.05), coffee consumption (≥1 cup/day, OR = 0.55, p < 0.05), number of teeth present (OR = 0.95, p < 0.05), and bleeding on probing ≥ 20% (OR = 3.67, p < 0.001). There appears to be an inverse association between coffee consumption (≥1 cup/day) and prevalence of severe periodontitis in the maintenance phase of periodontal treatment.
