EVALUATION OF THE PERIODONTOLOGICAL STATUS OF EMPLOYEES OF BATUMI SHOTA RUSTAVELI STATE UNIVERSITY

Introduction: This study was supported by Dental Clinic SMILE-DENT, BATUMI, GEORGIA. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the severity of periodontal disease in a population of patients with gingival or periodontal disease who works at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University, Georgia. Methods: The sample consisted of 400 individuals: 268 non-smokers (NS) and 132 active smokers (S). The classification of gingival and periodontal diseases was based on the criteria of the EFP and - AAP recruiting patients with diagnoses of gingivitis, stage II, III and IV of periodontitis. A multivariate analysis was also carried out to determine the degree of responsibility of the different risk factors. We used (OMS), (SPSS). Results: Twenty-nine per cent of women and forty percent of men were smokers. The periodontal variables in the groups of S and NS behaved in the following way: PD for NS 4.19 (± 0.67), and for S 5.37 (±0.64); AL for NS 3.43 (±1.28), and for S 4.30 (±1.43); BOP for NS 41 (±23.76), and for S 43.28 (±23.56); OHI for NS 1.75 (±0.61), and for S 1.82 (±0.53). Conclusion: Stage II and III of periodontitis behaved similarly in both groups, but when we analyzed stage IV of periodontitis, it was more prevalent in smokers, regardless of their age.
