Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Periodontal disease is an infectious disease associated with various systemic diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status of subjects with broncho-pulmonary infections in hospital environment. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study based on recruitment of hospitalized or consulting patients to the Pneumology Department of Fann Hospital. Patients with tuberculosis were not included. The level of hygiene was evaluated by the Silness and Löe plaque index; inflammation by the gingival index of Löe and Silness. A sample of 70 patients including 25 women and 45 men was selected for this study. The prevalence of bacterial pneumonia was 54.3% that of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was 22.9%. The average plate index was 1.7 ± 0.2. Plaque index scores were higher in patients with COPD (2.1 ± 0.3). Mean gingival inflammation (1.5 ± 0.2) was recorded in 83% of patients. Collaboration between pulmonologist and periodontologist is necessary to limit the deleterious effects of a bad oral condition on general health.
