To determine the prevalence of chronic periodontitis and its determinants among patients in the Aseer Region of KSA.
A total of 1000 consecutive new female patients between 25- to 75-years of age were screened for the presence of any periodontal disease. The various demographic characteristics of the study participants included age, educational level, occupation, presence of diabetes mellitus, family history of periodontal disease, and oral hygiene practices per subject were recorded. The parameters addressing periodontal prevalence and severity were also recorded.
Of these patients, 457 were found to have evidence of periodontal disease. These patients were considered for a further detailed periodontal examination. The chi-square test for goodness of fit showed that 46.6% have localized chronic gingivitis while 2.2% have generalized chronic gingivitis. Localized chronic periodontitis ranged from 4.2% to 12%, whereas generalized chronic periodontitis varied from 3.1 to 14.7%. The non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis chi-square statistics showed that factors such as age, education, occupation, infrequent last dental visit, presence of diabetes mellitus and bleeding on probing were significant risk determinants for periodontal disease in the selected cohort.
The majority of the population showed the presence of localized chronic gingivitis. Age, education, occupation, infrequent dental visits and presence of diabetes mellitus are significant risk determinants for the occurrence of chronic periodontitis. Information concerning individual risk for developing periodontal disease should be carefully evaluated for proper patient management and for better overall general health.
确定沙特阿拉伯王国阿西尔地区患者中慢性牙周炎的患病率及其决定因素。
对1000名年龄在25至75岁之间的连续新女性患者进行筛查，以确定是否存在任何牙周疾病。记录研究参与者的各种人口统计学特征，包括年龄、教育水平、职业、糖尿病的存在、牙周疾病家族史以及每位受试者的口腔卫生习惯。还记录了反映牙周患病率和严重程度的参数。
在这些患者中，发现457人有牙周疾病证据。这些患者接受了进一步详细的牙周检查。拟合优度的卡方检验表明，46.6%的患者患有局限性慢性牙龈炎，而2.2%的患者患有广泛性慢性牙龈炎。局限性慢性牙周炎的比例在4.2%至12%之间，而广泛性慢性牙周炎的比例在3.1%至14.7%之间。非参数Kruskal-Wallis卡方统计显示，年龄、教育程度、职业、上次看牙时间间隔长、糖尿病的存在以及探诊出血等因素是所选队列中牙周疾病的重要风险决定因素。
大多数人群表现为局限性慢性牙龈炎。年龄、教育程度、职业、看牙次数少和糖尿病的存在是慢性牙周炎发生的重要风险决定因素。应仔细评估个体患牙周疾病的风险信息，以便进行适当的患者管理和改善整体健康状况。
