Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the incidence, some clinical and anthropometric characteristics of patients with periodontitis in the group of subjects aged 45 years and older, examined at the Department of Dentistry, Central Military Hospital 108. Method: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 100 patients examined at the Department of Dentistry, Hospital 108. The study evaluated through questionnaires and examined the indexes of gingival pocket depth and clinical attachment loss using periodontal probes. Results: The incidence of periodontitis was 84% ​​of the total 100 patients examined. The incidence of periodontitis in men was 52%, higher than in women. The incidence of periodontitis was highest in the age group over 80 years old at 100%, lowest in the age group 45-50 with a rate of 72.2%. The average gingival pocket depth in the study group was 2.9mm. The average attachment loss was 4.5 mm. The pocket depth in the incisor region was lower than in the molar region and less in the maxilla than in the mandible. There was no statistically significant difference in pocket depth and attachment loss between the sexes. Conclusion: The prevalence of periodontitis among patients who aged 45 years and older, presenting for examination was high (84%), however, patients did not examine for periodontal disease. Assessment of pocket depth and clinical attachment loss were the two most important indicators for periodontitis
