Substance and drug abuse is associated with severe psychosocial problems, violence and health complications.
The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the oral hygiene status and sugar eating patterns among drug addicts with their age, gender and socio-economic status matched controls.
The present study comprised of two groups-Group A comprised of 100 drug addicts and Group B included 100 controls. The study sample were interviewed and subjected to a comprehensive intra-oral examination.
Standardized methods of evaluation were performed using mouth mirror, dental probe, explorer and WHO probe.
The data was subjected to statistical analysis using Chi Square test and student -test.
CPITN index revealed bleeding in 56% addicts and calculus in 20% addicts. The mean DMFT of group A was 5.71 as compared to 2.45 in group B. The frequency of sugar consumption was found to be high in addicts as compared to the controls. Significant values (< 0.001) of DMFT index, periodontal status and frequency of sugar consumption were obtained on statistical analysis. The caries status was found to be poor in addicts, but the periodontal treatment needs were similar for both group A and B. Oral health promotion should be undertaken in drug rehabilitation centers for overall success of withdrawl treatment.
物质和药物滥用与严重的社会心理问题、暴力行为及健康并发症相关。
本研究旨在评估和比较年龄、性别及社会经济地位相匹配的吸毒成瘾者与对照组的口腔卫生状况和食糖模式。
本研究包括两组——A组由100名吸毒成瘾者组成，B组包括100名对照组。对研究样本进行访谈并进行全面的口腔内检查。
使用口镜、牙科探针、探针和世界卫生组织探针进行标准化评估方法。
数据采用卡方检验和t检验进行统计分析。
社区牙周指数显示，56%的成瘾者有出血，20%的成瘾者有牙结石。A组的平均龋失补牙数为5.71，而B组为2.45。与对照组相比，发现成瘾者食糖频率较高。经统计分析，龋失补牙数指数、牙周状况和食糖频率均有显著值（<0.001）。发现成瘾者的龋齿状况较差，但A组和B组的牙周治疗需求相似。为使戒毒治疗全面成功，应在戒毒康复中心开展口腔健康促进工作。
