Majority of the Indian population suffers from oral health diseases, especially periodontitis. Clinical manifestations of the disease are most commonly seen after 35 years of age, which if left untreated will ultimately result in loss of the tooth.
A total of 576 subjects of different age groups were selected from 11 villages of Nuh district by simple random selection. The demographic data and oral hygiene habits along with deleterious habits such as smoking, panmasala, and tobacco chewing were recorded. Community periodontal index of treatment need (CPITN) was recorded with the help of CPITN probe.
Deep pockets were observed in 45.6% of the participants and 26.2% of the sextants. Shallow pockets were observed in 38.3% of the participants and 36.4% of the sextants. Calculus had the highest score in15.6% of the participants and 49.15% of the sextants. An inference was drawn from the results that among 576 participants 72.89% of individuals needed TN2 whereas 26.23% of individuals needed TN3 and 0.65% of individuals needed TN1.
Severity of periodontal disease increased with age. The severity of periodontitis was observed significantly more in smokers and tobacco chewers as compared to nonsmokers and nontobacco chewers, respectively.
大多数印度人口患有口腔健康疾病，尤其是牙周炎。该疾病的临床表现最常见于35岁以后，若不治疗最终将导致牙齿脱落。
通过简单随机抽样从努赫区的11个村庄中选取了576名不同年龄组的受试者。记录了人口统计学数据、口腔卫生习惯以及吸烟、嚼槟榔和嚼烟草等有害习惯。借助社区牙周治疗需要指数（CPITN）探针记录CPITN。
45.6%的参与者和26.2%的牙 sextants 观察到深牙周袋。38.3%的参与者和36.4%的牙 sextants 观察到浅牙周袋。15.6%的参与者和49.15%的牙 sextants 牙石得分最高。从结果得出的推论是，在576名参与者中，72.89%的个体需要TN2，而26.23%的个体需要TN3，0.65%的个体需要TN1。
牙周疾病的严重程度随年龄增加。与不吸烟者和不嚼烟草者相比，吸烟者和嚼烟草者的牙周炎严重程度分别明显更高。
