Periodontal conditions and associated factors among adults and the elderly: findings from the first National Oral Health Survey in Uruguay

The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of periodontal conditions in the Uruguayan adult and elderly population and its association with socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics. Data from adults (35-44, n = 358) and elderly (65-74, n = 411) who participated in the first National Oral Health Survey, Uruguay, 2011, were used. The survey included a household questionnaire addressing socioeconomic characteristics, and tobacco use. Bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pockets (CPI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were measured by clinical examination. A multivariable analysis was carried out. Considering both age groups, the prevalence of mild/severe periodontal disease was 21.8% and 9.12% for severe periodontal disease. Adjusted analyses revealed an association between high education and all outcomes. Attendance at dental services was negatively associated with BOP and mild to severe periodontitis. Periodontal outcomes were higher in disadvantaged socioeconomic groups. Tobacco consumption has a strong association with periodontal disease in the elderly.O objetivo do estudo foi determinar a prevalencia da doenca periodontal em adultos e idosos uruguaios e sua associacao com fatores comportamentais e socioeconomicos. Foram utilizados dados de adultos (35-44, n = 358) e de idosos (65-74, n = 411) participantes da primeira Pesquisa Nacional de Saude Bucal, no Uruguai, em 2011. A pesquisa incluiu um questionario sobre fatores de risco, incluindo fumo. Sangramento ao sandagem bolsa periodontal (IPC) e perda de insercao (PIP) foram avaliados por meio de exame clinico. Considerando-se as duas idades, a prevalencia da doenca moderada/grave foi de 21,8% e 9,12%. Na analise multivariada, foi observada associacao entre a educacao de nivel universitario e todas as variaveis de resposta. O atendimento odontologico foi negativamente associado com a doenca periodontal moderada e grave. A prevalencia foi maior no grupo com menor nivel socioeconomico. Dentre os idosos, o tabagismo foi fortemente associado a doenca periodontal.

Dental caries in Uruguayan adults and elders: findings from the first Uruguayan National Oral Health Survey

This study aimed to assess dental caries status and associated factors in Uruguayan adults and elders using data from the first Uruguayan National Oral Health Survey. Data were representative of the country as a whole. Socio-demographic information was collected with a closed questionnaire. Dental caries was assessed by clinical examination using the DMFT index. The final sample consisted of 769 participants. Mean DMFT was 15.20 and 24.12 for the 35-44 and 65-74-year age groups, respectively. Mean number of decayed teeth was 1.70 in adults and 0.66 in elders. Multivariate analyses showed higher prevalence of dental caries associated with age 65-74 years, low socioeconomic status, use of public dental services, presence of gingivitis; for decayed teeth, age 35-44 years, low socioeconomic status, use of public dental services, infrequent tooth brushing, need for oral health care, and presence of root caries showed higher severity. Uruguayan adults and elders from disadvantaged backgrounds concentrated a heavier burden of dental caries.Este estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar las condiciones de caries y factores asociados en poblacion adulta y adulta mayor uruguaya, a partir de datos del primer Estudio Uruguayo de Salud Oral. Los datos fueron representativos del pais. Las condiciones socioeconomicas fueron evaluadas por cuestionarios. La caries dental fue evaluada por examen clinico, mediante el indice CPO-D. La muestra final evaluada fue de 769 personas. El CPO-D medio fue de 15,20 y 24,12 para los tramos de 35-44 anos y de 65-74 anos, respectivamente. La media de dientes cariados fue 1,70 entre los adultos y 0,66 entre los adultos mayores. Analisis multivariables mostraron una mayor severidad de caries: el tramo de 65-74 anos, el bajo nivel socioeconomico, usuarios del servicio publico de salud oral, y la presencia de sangrado gingival; mientras para caries sin tratar: el tramo de 35-44 anos, el bajo nivel socioeconomico, el uso del servicio publico de salud oral, el cepillado menor a dos veces al dia, la necesidad auto-reportada para tratamiento dental y la presencia de caries radicular estuvieron asociadas. Adultos y adultos mayores uruguayos de bajo nivel socioeconomico concentran mayor carga de caries dental.
