Periodontal diseases are some of the major oral diseases and conditions in adults.
The study aimed to present the population patterns of periodontal diseases and trends of periodontitis in the Australian adult population.
Data collected in the recent National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) 2017-18 were used to present the current population patterns of periodontal diseases. Periodontal assessment was carried out at three sites per tooth for all present teeth, excluding third molars. Prevalence of gingivitis, periodontal pocket depth of 4+ mm, gingival recession of 2+ mm, and clinical attachment loss of 4+ mm were calculated and reported. The US CDC/AAP case definition was used to define cases of moderate to severe periodontitis. NSAOH 2017-18 data were combined with data collected in NSAOH 2004-06 using similar methods to describe age- and cohort-related trends of periodontitis.
The prevalence of periodontal diseases and conditions were relatively high in the Australian adult population. Some three in every ten Australian adults had moderate to severe periodontitis. There was a tendency of higher prevalence of periodontitis in NSAOH 2017-18 than in NSAOH 2004-06 among people of the same age.
Periodontal diseases and conditions remain a significant problem in the Australian adult population.
牙周病是成年人的主要口腔疾病和状况之一。
本研究旨在介绍澳大利亚成年人牙周病的人群模式和牙周炎的趋势。
使用最近的 2017-18 年全国成人口腔健康研究(NSAOH)的数据,介绍当前牙周病的人群模式。对所有现有的牙齿(不包括第三磨牙)的每个牙齿的三个部位进行牙周评估。计算并报告了牙龈炎、牙周袋深度为 4+mm、牙龈退缩 2+mm 和临床附着丧失 4+mm 的患病率。使用美国疾病控制与预防中心/美国牙周病学会的病例定义来定义中重度牙周炎病例。将 2017-18 年 NSAOH 数据与使用类似方法在 2004-06 年 NSAOH 中收集的数据相结合,描述与年龄和队列相关的牙周炎趋势。
牙周病和状况在澳大利亚成年人中相对较高。每十个澳大利亚成年人中就有三个患有中重度牙周炎。在年龄相同的人中,2017-18 年 NSAOH 的牙周炎患病率高于 2004-06 年 NSAOH。
牙周病和状况仍然是澳大利亚成年人的一个重大问题。
