A cross-sectional study was conducted on dental students at Bahadurgarh, Haryana, for the assessment of periodontal health and possible associated factors. A total of 329 students were examined clinically by periodontists. Students with bleeding on probing and attachment loss ≥ 2 mm were assessed further for extent of bone loss radiographically. The awareness of disease and knowledge of management was also assessed. Sixty-three (19.1%) students showed clinical signs of disease and 21 (6.3%) had cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to the bone crest distance of ≥2 mm. Proximal carious lesions were observed in nine cases of attachment loss. Mottled enamel with a roughened surface had association with attachment loss. The clinical students showed reasonable knowledge of disease and management. The need to strengthen the diagnostics for early detection of periodontal disease in young adults is suggested.
在哈里亚纳邦巴哈杜尔加尔的牙科学生中进行了一项横断面研究，以评估牙周健康状况及可能的相关因素。共有329名学生由牙周病专家进行临床检查。对探诊出血且附着丧失≥2mm的学生，进一步通过影像学评估骨质丧失程度。同时还评估了学生对疾病的认知及治疗知识。63名（19.1%）学生有疾病的临床体征，21名（6.3%）学生的牙骨质-釉质界（CEJ）至牙槽嵴的距离≥2mm。在9例附着丧失病例中观察到邻面龋损。表面粗糙的氟斑牙与附着丧失有关。临床专业学生对疾病及治疗有一定的了解。建议加强诊断，以便在年轻人中早期发现牙周疾病。
