Oral health is an integral component of general health. Periodontal disease is one of the most prevalent dental diseases among the population. Researchers have identified an association of various risk factors with periodontal disease. The study aimed to assess the periodontal status among the sugar factory workers of Karad taluka.
The study was conducted among 1200 subjects in the age group of 25-54 years. Personal and sociodemographic data were recorded in the proforma based on the WHO oral health survey form (1997). Periodontal status was assessed using community periodontal index (CPI). For statistical analyses, Chi-square test and Multiple Logistic Regression analyses was performed.
The sociodemographic characteristics (age, sex, and socioeconomic status) and deleterious habits like tobacco chewing and smoking were found to be significantly associated with the CPI and LoA scores for the population ( < 0.00001).
The analysis of the results obtained in this epidemiological study evidenced that periodontitis is prevalent among the sugar factory workers of Karad taluka. There is a need for emphasis on the preventive care.
口腔健康是整体健康的一个组成部分。牙周病是人群中最常见的牙科疾病之一。研究人员已经确定了各种风险因素与牙周病之间的关联。本研究旨在评估卡拉德镇糖厂工人的牙周状况。
本研究在1200名年龄在25 - 54岁之间的受试者中进行。根据世界卫生组织口腔健康调查问卷(1997年),在表格中记录个人和社会人口统计学数据。使用社区牙周指数(CPI)评估牙周状况。进行统计学分析时,采用卡方检验和多元逻辑回归分析。
发现社会人口统计学特征(年龄、性别和社会经济地位)以及嚼烟草和吸烟等有害习惯与人群的CPI和附着丧失(LoA)评分显著相关(<0.00001)。
对这项流行病学研究结果的分析表明,牙周炎在卡拉德镇糖厂工人中普遍存在。需要强调预防保健。
