Periodontal health in 37 patients with a 47,XXY chromosome complement (Klinefelter Syndrome) and in 12 brothers of patients was studied. Mean age-adjusted Gingival, Gingival Bleeding and Calculus Indices were statistically significantly higher in 47,XXY men than in the controls. The mean percentage of tooth surfaces with pathologically deepened probing depths for all 47,XXY men was 8.5%, for the subgroup of 47,XXY men with brothers it was 7.1%, and for the brothers it was 7.5%. Tooth mobility was found in two 47,XXY men and in one control. The results indicate that gingival inflammation was increased in the 47,XXY men than in the controls.
对37名染色体核型为47,XXY（克兰费尔特综合征）的患者及其12名兄弟的牙周健康状况进行了研究。经年龄调整后，47,XXY男性的牙龈指数、牙龈出血指数和牙石指数在统计学上显著高于对照组。所有47,XXY男性中，病理性探诊深度加深的牙面平均百分比为8.5%，有兄弟的47,XXY男性亚组为7.1%，其兄弟为7.5%。在两名47,XXY男性和一名对照者中发现了牙齿松动。结果表明，47,XXY男性的牙龈炎症比对照组有所增加。
