Abstract

The caries prevalence, periodontal health, and oral hygiene status were assessed in 124 drug addicts aged 18-34 yr in Mercato San Severino (Salerno), Italy. The years of drug addiction ranged from 1 to 15 yr. The majority used heroin (96%) but all the subjects indicated that they had used more than one drug. The percentage of drug addicts caries free was 6.5%, ranging from no caries free subjects in the group over 29 yr of age, to 11.4% in the group aged 26-29 yr old. Mean DMFT and DMFS scores for all age groups were 12.9 and 36.2, respectively; mean Periodontal Index (PI) and mean Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) scores were 1.37 and 1.71, respectively. The poor dental health in this target group indicates the need for more extensive collaboration between the social and dental health care sectors.

摘要

在意大利萨勒诺省圣塞韦里诺市的梅尔卡托，对124名年龄在18至34岁之间的吸毒者的龋齿患病率、牙周健康状况和口腔卫生状况进行了评估。吸毒年限为1至15年。大多数人使用海洛因（96%），但所有受试者均表示他们使用过不止一种毒品。无龋吸毒者的比例为6.5%，年龄超过29岁的组中无无龋受试者，而26至29岁组中的比例为11.4%。所有年龄组的平均DMFT和DMFS得分分别为12.9和36.2；平均牙周指数（PI）和平均简化口腔卫生指数（OHI-S）得分分别为1.37和1.71。该目标群体较差的口腔健康状况表明社会和口腔卫生保健部门之间需要更广泛的合作。
