Whether there is a relationship between blood group and the likelihood of acquiring oral diseases. Therefore, the present study investigated the potential association between ABO blood groups and various dental conditions, including dental caries, gingivitis, malocclusion, and impacted teeth, in Saudi adults aged 18 years and older.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 participants who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection included assessment of dental caries status using the decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) and decayed missing filled surfaces (DMFS) indices, evaluation of gingivitis using the Gingival Index, classification of malocclusion according to Angle's classification system, and recording the presence or absence of impacted teeth.
The AB blood group had the significantly highest mean DMFS score (8.58±6.63), while the O blood group had the lowest mean DMFS score (6.37±4.43). Additionally, blood group O showed a slightly higher prevalence of gingivitis (51.92%) than the other blood groups. Blood group A demonstrated a higher prevalence of both Class II (34.2%) and Class III (19%) malocclusions, with statistically significant differences. Regarding impacted teeth, blood group AB (48.8%) had the highest occurrence.
There exists an association between oral disease and ABO blood group in Saudi adults. The results of this study indicate that individuals with specific blood types may be more prone to oral diseases, which can aid in the early diagnosis and prevention of these conditions.
血型与患口腔疾病的可能性之间是否存在关联。因此，本研究调查了沙特18岁及以上成年人ABO血型与各种牙齿状况之间的潜在关联，这些牙齿状况包括龋齿、牙龈炎、错牙合畸形和阻生牙。
对300名符合纳入标准的参与者进行了一项横断面研究。数据收集包括使用龋失补牙数（DMFT）和龋失补牙面数（DMFS）指数评估龋齿状况，使用牙龈指数评估牙龈炎，根据安氏分类系统对错牙合畸形进行分类，以及记录阻生牙的有无。
AB血型的平均DMFS得分显著最高（8.58±6.63），而O血型的平均DMFS得分最低（6.37±4.43）。此外，O血型的牙龈炎患病率（51.92%）略高于其他血型。A血型在II类（34.2%）和III类（19%）错牙合畸形中的患病率较高，具有统计学显著差异。关于阻生牙，AB血型的发生率最高（48.8%）。
沙特成年人的口腔疾病与ABO血型之间存在关联。本研究结果表明，特定血型的个体可能更容易患口腔疾病，这有助于这些疾病的早期诊断和预防。
