Abstract
Introduction Poor oral hygiene is one of the main factors in the higher risk of dental caries and periodontal diseases and it may also affect the general health of the patient. Objectives The aim of the study was to assess the oral cavity condition, specifically the oral hygiene and periodontium status, in post-myocardial infarction patients. Patients and methods The research was based on 80 people, 32 women and 48 men aged 34-82. Within this sample of 80 people, 50 past-MI patients, 30 subjects with no cardiovascular diseases. To assess the hygiene and periodontal treatment needs the OHI and CPITN index’ were used. Results 51,3% post-MI patients had dental plaque (OHI=1), supra- as well as subgingival deposits- 46,2% (OHI=2), subgingival deposits- 2,6%(OHI=3) of the patients. In control group 70% of the patients had good oral hygiene, but dental plaque (OHI=2) was noticed in 13,3%, and calculus (OHI=2) in 16,7% of this group. In 79,5% of post-MI patients and only in 16,7% of control group the dental pockets depth < 3 mm (CPI=2) were measured, these differences were statistically significant. The periodontium condition in post-MI female patients was worse, CPI=2 was measured in 90% vs 75,9% in male patients. None of the post-MI patients had a satisfactory periodontal tissues condition. Periodontal treatment needs were higher in research group. Conclusion Within this sample of patients, it was found that the group of post-MI patients had poorer oral hygiene, worse periodontium condition and a higher need for periodontal treatments. <br/><br/>
