Abstract
Under modern condotions the problem of prevention and treatment of periodontal does not lose its relevance, This is significant prevalence of periodontal lesions, including young people. One of the promising areas that help to reduce the incidence and intensity of periodontal disease is the development and implementation of objective methods for predicting and preventing their development. Data on periodontal status in young aged adults are contradictory, and rates of prevalence of periodontal diseases in patients of the mentioned age range vary within wide limits. The aim of the trsearch - study the prevalence and patterns of periodontal disease in young people - students of the dental faculty. Materials and Methods To study the prevalence and patterns of periodontal disease in young adults an epidemiological survey of the second and fourth year students of the dental faculty of Uzhgorod National University on the simplified basis of map of the dental status (SDS, 1986) was carried out. 363 persons aged 19 to 24 years were examined. Amongthem there were 96 first-year students, the second – 89, the III-rd - 91, the fourth - 87 students. 192 were men and women - 171 that constituted 52.89 and 47.11 % respectively. Clinical examination included examination and identification pathology of periodontal tissues, tooth-jaw abnormalities and lesions of dental hard tissues. Research results In epidemiological survey of dental 363 young people - students of the dental faculty revealed high prevalence of periodontal disease (27%). Frequency of disease occurrence in this group of population slightly varied in negligible limits the first course – 29 students (30.21%), the second course – 24 (26.97%) and the third one – 24 (26.97%) and the fourth – 21 (24/14%)/ In the structure of periodontal diseases in young aged adults more often occur diffuse chronic catarrhal gingivitis (17.35%), chronic limited catarrhal gingivitis (34.69%) of chronic localized periodontitis, and initial severity (42.86%). Localized lesions of periodontal disease were established in 76 patients (77.55%), generalized - 22 (22,45%). Among localized forms of the disease chronic localized periodontitis of initial severity is more common (55.26%) than limited chronic catarrhal gingivitis (44.74%) that were diagnosed under 42 and 34 young people. The feature of periodontal disease at a young age is a gradual increase in localized lesions of periodontal tissues associated with the negative impact of traumatic local factors and similar reduction in generalized forms arising as individual oral hygiene, along with common factors. Perhaps it is due to this decree group of population, which has a satisfactory level of oral hygiene.
