Prevalence and Distribution of Different Types of Bone Defects in Chronic Periodontitis In Bagalkot Subjects - A Clinical Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Chronic destructive periodontitis involves resorption of the bone supporting the teeth. Various treatment aspects of this disease depend on the amount of alveolar bone remaining around the teeth. Hence, it is important to know the exact topography of the bone loss which is best possible by direct viewing during surgery. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of the various types of bone defects; it's relation with adverse habits and the segment wise distribution in the mandible and maxilla in Bagalkot population. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out on 200 chronic periodontitis patients of age group 30-70 years using direct observation during periodontal surgery. The association of various osseous defects with age, sex, socioeconomic status (SES), adverse habits, geographical location and trauma from occlusion, arch, and segment-wise were assessed. Results: There was increased horizontal bone loss with the advancing age and males were more affected. More number of defects was seen in the posterior segment. No statistically significant relation was found between the SES, geographic location, and between the two arches. Among bony defects, craters were the most common angular bony defects and were found to be related with the trauma from occlusion and adverse habits. Conclusion: The prevalence and distribution of bone defects are multifactorial and was not related to one cause. It is related to the age, sex, SES, adverse habits, and the anatomy of the bone.
