Abstract
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition that can reach the periodontal protection, gingival and support, alveolar bone, cementum and periodontal ligament. Early diagnosis is important to prevent periodontal disease. Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR) have been used in this study to evaluate the presence of periodontal disease at Planning Clinic of the Federal University of Fluminense, Nova Friburgo, RJ, Brazil. Periodontal examinations were performed on 200 patients using OMS probe – 621 approved by American Dental Association (ADA). The results show that sextants 1 and 3 had higher prevalence of code 3, probing depth ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 mm, bleeding on probe, followed by edentulous sextants. Sextants 2, 4, 5 and 6 had code 2, presence or absence of bleeding on probe, calculus and/or excesses of the margins restorations. The asterisk code represented 44.5% of all sextants evaluated. This study demonstrates a higher diagnosis of periodontitis, due to the criteria of PSR that diagnosis is based on the worst code of all sextants. The analysis of data reveals that alveolar bone loss was the most frequent in this study population. PSR index was effective for the diagnosis of periodontal conditions of adults’ population from Nova Friburgo, RJ, Brazil. Key words: Periodontal screening record (PSR), periodontal diseases, periodontal health.
Highlights
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition of bacterial origin which begins with gingival inflammation and may or may not lead, over time, to extend the inflammation to supporting tissues of the teeth (Socransky et al, 1984).Despite the scientific and clinical advancement in the treatment of periodontal diseases, the prevalence of more more advanced forms in adult and elderly populations is high
In the early 90s, the American Academy of Periodontology developed an index based on CPITN, the Periodontal
No epidemiological survey on the distribution of periodontal disease using the periodontal screening record (PSR) or any other periodontal index was found in the present research. Based on these findings and the importance of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of periodontal disease, this study aims to assess the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease using the PSR in patients residing in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil seeking care in the Dental Clinic of the Dental Faculty, Nova
Summary
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition of bacterial origin which begins with gingival inflammation (gingivitis) and may or may not lead, over time, to extend the inflammation to supporting tissues of the teeth (periodontitis) (Socransky et al, 1984). Despite the scientific and clinical advancement in the treatment of periodontal diseases, the prevalence of more more advanced forms in adult and elderly populations is high. Periodontal diagnosis shoud be done early, so that pathologies are identified in their initial forms, which can still be reversible (Rosell et al, 1999). In the early 90s, the American Academy of Periodontology developed an index based on CPITN, the Periodontal. Screening and Recording (PSR), with the goal of improving.
