Table 5. shows that The results of the chi-square analysis of knowledge about periodontal disease and oral hygiene status (OHI-S) on periodontal disease showed that the p value
The results showed that the respondent's dental and oral hygiene index as measured by the OHI-S index was 3.29+0.63 and most of the respondents (59.6%) had a high OHI-S index and had high periodontal disease

Summary

Introduction

Oral and dental health is fundamental to general health, because the oral cavity functions in speaking, chewing food, communicating, and socializing (R R Pudentiana et al, 2021). Periodontal disease is one of the most common dental and oral diseases in the world community, especially in Indonesia. Based on the results of the 2018 Basic Health Research, the index of periodontal disease, especially gingivitis in the 15-24 age group was 0.69%, the 25-34 age group was 0.74, the 35-44 year age group was 0.76, the 45-54year-old group was 0.76, aged 55-64 years as many as 0.75 and over 65 years as many as 0.73. These results show that, the older you get, the higher the periodontal disease index (Kemenkes, 2018). After inflammation occurs in the blood vessels, atherosclerosis can occur and stroke can occur (Fatima et al, 2017)
