The aim of this study was to assess the oral hygiene status, oral hygiene practices, and periodontal health among brick kiln workers of Odisha.
Four hundred and eight subjects (300 males and 108 females) between the ages of 22 and 65 years with mean age of 33.44 ± 2.34 years working in various brick kilns in the district of Khordha, Odisha, participated in the survey. Data were collected through personal interview and clinical examinations.
Overall prevalence of periodontal diseases among brick kiln workers was 86.27%. There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of Community periodontal index (CPI) ( < 0.001) and loss of attachment score scores ( < 0.001). Periodontal disease was significantly associated with age, oral hygiene status, practices, and tissues abuse habits. Most of the workers were males (59%), in the age group of 30-40 years (40.69%), having only a primary level of education (75.98%) and were married (80.88%). Majority of the workers brushed their teeth once daily (78.9%) with toothbrush (51.5%) and used toothpaste (41.2%). Most of them were found to be consuming paan or gutkha as compared to cigarette or beedi smoking. Among the subjects with a CPI >2, higher prevalence of periodontal disease was seen in subjects older than 50 years of age (86.7%), those brushing once daily only (75.2%), brushing with finger (82.8%), with higher frequency and duration of consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and having a poor oral hygiene (85.5%).
The survey among brick kiln workers revealed that the oral hygiene status was poor, they had ill-informed oral hygiene practices and most of them were suffering from periodontal disease.
本研究旨在评估奥里萨邦砖窑工人的口腔卫生状况、口腔卫生习惯及牙周健康状况。
408名年龄在22至65岁之间、平均年龄为33.44±2.34岁的受试者（300名男性和108名女性）参与了此次调查，他们在奥里萨邦科德哈区的各个砖窑工作。通过个人访谈和临床检查收集数据。
砖窑工人中牙周疾病的总体患病率为86.27%。社区牙周指数（CPI）分布（<0.001）和附着丧失分数（<0.001）存在统计学显著差异。牙周疾病与年龄、口腔卫生状况、习惯及组织滥用习惯显著相关。大多数工人为男性（59%），年龄在30至40岁之间（40.69%），仅接受过小学教育（75.98%）且已婚（80.88%）。大多数工人每天用牙刷刷牙一次（78.9%），使用牙刷的比例为51.5%，使用牙膏的比例为41.2%。与吸烟或抽比迪烟相比，发现他们中大多数人食用槟榔或古特卡。在CPI>2的受试者中，50岁以上的受试者（86.7%）、仅每天刷牙一次的受试者（75.2%）、用手指刷牙的受试者（82.8%）、烟草和酒精消费频率及持续时间较高且口腔卫生较差的受试者（85.5%）中，牙周疾病患病率较高。
对砖窑工人的调查显示，他们的口腔卫生状况较差，口腔卫生习惯缺乏相关知识，且大多数人患有牙周疾病。
