Assessment of dental caries, periodontitis, and personality trait among population of Dehradun.
This survey was conducted on 480 subjects age ranged 34-45 years of both genders (males-250, females-230). Decayed Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, periodontal status, and personality trait were recorded.
Age group 34-39 years is comprised of 130 males and 140 females and 40-45 years had 120 males and 90 females. Maximum males (120) were laborer and females were housewife (160). Commonly used method of oral hygiene practice was tooth powder by 80 males and 103 females. Maximum subjects of extroversion (180) was seen in age group 40-45 years, maximum females (110) were housewife with extroversion trait, maximum extroversion trait subjects were using tooth powder (113) and datum (100). Mean DMFT score in subjects was 2.52 and community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) score was 3.41. There were 310 extroversion subjects, 120 neuroticism subjects, and 50 combinations of both extroversion and neuroticism. There was a significant difference in mean missing teeth and DMFT in subjects with different personality traits ( < 0.05). The test showed that mean missing teeth between group E and group E + N was found to be statistically significant ( < 0.05). The test showed that the mean sextant value for score 2 between group E vs N found to be statistically significant ( < 0.05). Neurotic individuals were found to have poorer periodontal health as compared to extroverts.
Authors found that personality trait such as psychological factors have greater impact on status of dental caries and periodontitis. Extroverts had less dental caries and better periodontal status when compared to other personality traits.
Psychological factors have a great impact on status of dental caries and periodontitis. By assessing various psychological factors, the occurrence of both can be avoided. Thus by improving oral health, overall health of an individual can be improved.
评估德拉敦人群的龋齿、牙周炎和人格特质。
本调查在 480 名年龄在 34-45 岁的男女（男性-250 名，女性-230 名）中进行。记录了龋齿、缺失、补牙（DMFT）指数、牙周状况和人格特质。
34-39 岁年龄组包括 130 名男性和 140 名女性，40-45 岁年龄组有 120 名男性和 90 名女性。最多的男性（120 人）是工人，而女性（160 人）是家庭主妇。最常用的口腔卫生方法是男性 80 人，女性 103 人使用牙粉。40-45 岁年龄组的外向型人数最多（180 人），最多的女性（110 人）是家庭主妇，具有外向型特质，最多的外向型特质的人使用牙粉（113 人）和牙线（100 人）。受试者的平均 DMFT 评分为 2.52，社区牙周治疗需求指数（CPITN）评分为 3.41。有 310 名外向型受试者、120 名神经质受试者和 50 名外向型和神经质混合受试者。不同人格特质的受试者缺失牙和 DMFT 的平均值有显著差异（<0.05）。检验显示，组 E 和组 E+N 之间的平均缺失牙数存在统计学意义（<0.05）。检验显示，组 E 与 N 之间的评分 2 的平均六分位数值存在统计学意义（<0.05）。与外向者相比，神经质者的牙周健康状况较差。
作者发现，人格特质等心理因素对龋齿和牙周炎的状况有更大的影响。与其他人格特质相比，外向者的龋齿较少，牙周状况较好。
心理因素对龋齿和牙周炎的状况有很大影响。通过评估各种心理因素，可以避免两者的发生。因此，通过改善口腔健康，可以提高个人的整体健康水平。
