ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to describe the periodontal profile of -candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.METHODS:
This cross-sectional prospective study was performed from March 2014 to March 2015. After an initial interview, eligible individuals were evaluated by the following clinical parameters visible plaque, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and clinical attachment level at six sites per tooth, excluding third molars.RESULTS:
Thirty-six candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) were clinically assessed. Eight (22%) patients were diagnosed with gingivitis and 21 (58%) of them with periodontitis. The gingival bleeding was statistically correlated with the percentage of sites with visible plaque (p < 0.0001; r = 0.630) and did not correlate with the number of platelets (p = 0.643, r = -0.082).CONCLUSIONS:
The candidates for allogeneic HSCT studied showed a high prevalence of periodontal diseases with unmonitored local infection before transplantation.Palavras-chave
