The aim of this research is to evaluate the periodontal health of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) in a Spanish cohort.
A cross-sectional study was performed on 104 patients with PD (mean age: 66.19+9.3 years) and 106 controls (mean age: 59.26+14.11 years). A pre-designed clinical protocol was implemented, which included a standardized epidemiological index for periodontal disease (CPITN), clinical attachment loss (CAL), tooth-loss, full mouth plaque index (FMPI), and oral hygienic habits. Univariate descriptions and comparative analysis were performed.
The majority of PD patients presented good oral hygienic habits. There were no significant differences in relation to CPITN, periodontitis, gingival recessions and tooth loss. However, moderate/severe CAL (p=0.027) and FMPI (p=0.003) was higher in the PD group.
There were no differences on periodontitis and tooth loss between both groups. The higher number of advanced CAL and presence of biofilm in the PD group could be related to the difficulties to perform an effective tooth brushing due to this neurological disorder.
本研究旨在评估西班牙队列中帕金森病(PD)患者的牙周健康状况。
对 104 例 PD 患者(平均年龄:66.19+9.3 岁)和 106 例对照组(平均年龄:59.26+14.11 岁)进行横断面研究。采用预先设计的临床方案,包括牙周疾病标准化流行病学指数(CPITN)、临床附着丧失(CAL)、失牙、全口菌斑指数(FMPI)和口腔卫生习惯。进行单变量描述和比较分析。
大多数 PD 患者具有良好的口腔卫生习惯。CPITN、牙周炎、牙龈退缩和牙齿缺失方面无显著差异。然而,PD 组中中度/重度 CAL(p=0.027)和 FMPI(p=0.003)更高。
两组间牙周炎和牙齿缺失无差异。PD 组中较高数量的晚期 CAL 和生物膜的存在可能与由于这种神经障碍导致难以进行有效的刷牙有关。
