Abstract
Aim: Respiratory diseases are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in human populations. There is evidence that oral diseases and respiratory disorders seem to have an interrelation. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate whether there is any association between the degree of bronchial asthma and severity of periodontal disease. Material and method: Out of all the asthmatic patients who reported to the General Hospital over a period of one month, 90 were enrolled into the study. 30 non-asthmatic patients with periodontitis were assigned to a control group. Based on GINA criteria and spirometry, asthmatic patients were divided into 3 groups of 30 patients each comprising of mild, moderate and severe bronchial asthma. 30 periodontitis patients from the Out Patient Department of the Dental College were assigned to the control group. The clinical parameters such as OHI(s), Russel’s Periodontal Index, Gingival Bleeding Index and Probing pocket depth were recorded in all the groups. Data was analyzed with post-hoc Tukey’s test, one way ANOVA using SPSS (software version 17) Result: The mean OHIS, PD, RPI & GBI were comparatively higher and statistically significant in severe asthmatics, which indicated greater periodontal destruction as well as reduced oral hygiene measures among severe asthmatic group as well as compared to other the other two groups. Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated that bronchial asthma has a positive correlation with the severity of periodontitis.
