Study on Association of Systemic Diseases on Tooth Loss and Oral Health | Chapter 21 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 5

 The goal of this study was to assess the level of oral hygiene in individuals with diverse systemic diseases.

Materials and Procedures: A total of 450 patients with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disorders (with and without diabetes mellitus), respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, hepatic disorders, renal disorders, bone/joint disorders, and hypertension were chosen from Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Capital Development Authority, Islamic International Dental College, Islamabad, and Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi. In order to evaluate oral health between different illness groups, a dental examination was performed to compute the number of missing teeth, decaying, missing, and filled teeth (D.M.F.T.) and decayed, missing, and filled surfaces (D.M.F.S.) scores.

Results: Systemic disorders were substantially linked with age, gender, number of missing teeth, D.M.F.T., and D.M.F.S. scores (p0.05). Cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus with cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus, bone/ joint disorders, hypertension, renal illnesses, hepatic disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and respiratory diseases were the ailments that caused poor oral hygiene in descending order of severity.

Conclusion: Systemic disorders patients have a higher risk of poor oral hygiene, tooth loss, and high D.M.F.T. and D.M.F.S. scores, indicating a link between systemic diseases and oral health. To improve the patient's health, there is a need for collaboration between dentists and medical doctors.

Determination of Relationship between Chronic Periodontitis and Metabolic Syndrome | Chapter 15 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 Chronic periodontitis is a long-term inflammatory disorder of the mouth that affects the teeth's supporting components. It causes tooth loss, bone loss, and attachment loss. Recent studies have linked it to diabetes, cardiovascular illness, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary disease, obesity, and pre-term low birth weight kids, among other systemic disorders affecting the body. Diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular disease are all symptoms of metabolic syndrome, which is a group of disorders. In light of the foregoing, the purpose of this study was to determine the link between chronic periodontitis and metabolic syndrome.

The study's goals were to compare the periodontal health of metabolic syndrome patients to that of healthy people in general.

II. Determine whether the periodontal state corresponded to the metabolic component readings.

Methods: This study included a total of ninety patients. Group one consisted of 45 patients with metabolic syndrome who were confirmed, while group two comprised of 45 healthy controls who were age and sex matched. Plaque index, Ainamo & Bay Gingival Bleeding Index, Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Clinical Attachment Level (CEJ), total number of missing teeth, and causes for extraction were all recorded. Height, weight, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, BMI, serum lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure were all measured as part of the medical examination and blood tests. The NCEP ATP III definition of metabolic syndrome was used. Using the SYSTAT html output, the findings were statistically analysed.

Results: In comparison to group two patients, the periodontal condition of group one patients was poor, according to the findings of this study. The periodontal condition deteriorated as the metabolic components increased.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be stated that periodontitis and metabolic syndrome were interfering with each other's systemic effects. Dentists should educate their patients about the dangers of metabolic syndrome and periodontitis, as well as encourage them to practise proper dental hygiene and live a healthy lifestyle.
