Obesity poses a significant health risk to our society with prevalence that has dramatically increased in children. Obesity and periodontal diseases share many common risk factors.
To study the oral hygiene status and prevalence of gingivitis in children with increased body mass index.
A cross-sectional study was performed in Plovdiv, October-December 2017 and January-March 2018 among 1826 school children aged 6-11. The oral hygiene status was determined using Silness-Loe plaque index and Green-Vermillion calculus index assessed on vestibular surfaces of first maxillary permanent molars and one maxillary and one mandibular central permanent incisor, and lingual surfaces of mandibular first permanent molars. The condition of the gingiva was determined as presence or absence of gingivitis.
The study included 1826 children (953 boys and 921 girls). With regard to BMI, the distribution should be 5% underweight, 66.5% normal weight, 17.7% overweight, and 10.8% obese, as in the text below. There was no significant correlation between age and BMI. No significant correlation was found between BMI and gingivitis (.
Increased BMI is not an independent predictor of gingivitis. Poor oral hygiene is strongly associated only with gender.
肥胖对我们的社会构成了重大健康风险，其在儿童中的患病率急剧上升。肥胖与牙周疾病有许多共同的风险因素。
研究体重指数增加的儿童的口腔卫生状况和牙龈炎患病率。
2017年10月至12月以及2018年1月至3月在普罗夫迪夫对1826名6至11岁的学童进行了一项横断面研究。使用西尔尼斯-洛菌斑指数和格林-弗米利恩牙石指数评估口腔卫生状况，评估部位为上颌第一恒磨牙的前庭面、一颗上颌和一颗下颌中切牙的前庭面以及下颌第一恒磨牙的舌面。根据是否存在牙龈炎来确定牙龈状况。
该研究纳入了1826名儿童（953名男孩和921名女孩）。关于体重指数，分布情况应如下文所述，即5%体重过轻、66.5%体重正常、17.7%超重和10.8%肥胖。年龄与体重指数之间无显著相关性。体重指数与牙龈炎之间未发现显著相关性（。
体重指数增加不是牙龈炎的独立预测因素。口腔卫生差仅与性别密切相关。
