Condição periodontal de pacientes tratados por especialistas em unidade de atendimento filantrópico

Abstract

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the periodontal condition of patients treated by specialists in care unit philantropic. Eligible patients (subjected to subgingival scaling) were contacted and a structured interview and clinical periodontal examinations performed. Seventy-nine patients were stratified into three groups according to the frequency of return consultations maintenance after completion of periodontal treatment: periodic preventive maintenance (CMPP), with periodic preventive maintenance sporadic (CMPPE) and no periodic preventive maintenance (SMPP). The outcome of this study is related to the needs of reintervention / retreatment periodontal assessed by clinical parameters subgingival between different groups. Demographic, socioeconomic and behavioral characteristics were similar between groups (p>0.05). Statistically significant differences between groups were only found in the strata of visible plaque index (IPl), in return visits and the percentage of bleeding on probing (SS) stratified. Patients CMPP group had, on average, two times more queries periodontal maintenance after periodontal therapy than those CMPPE and eight times more SMPP than (p <0.05). In relation to the strata IPI, the Group had over SMPP (visible plaque IPl2) compared to Group CMPPE (p = 0.03) and shows all the patients in the percentage of sites with residual SS less than 35% while groups CMPPE and CMPP had values, respective 77.30% and 87.50%. (p = 0.04). We conclude that, regardless of the frequency of return for periodic preventive maintenance, many sites are in patients requiring reintervention / retreatment and may present high risk for progression of periodontal disease.
