ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this research is to evaluate the periodontal health of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) in a Spanish cohort. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
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.RESULTS:
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.CONCLUSIONS:
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.
