Abstract

Gingivitis is a common oral health problem. Untreated gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, a common cause of tooth loss. Objective: To evaluate gingival status and treatment results of ultrasonic tartar remover at Vinh Medical University hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional description and intervention study. Results: Gingivitis was found in 81% of the 100 research subjects evaluated, mild gingivitis was the most common form (52%). The level of DI-S index increased, the level of CI-S index increased, so the level of Gingival index increased (p<0.05). The higher OHI-S index value (equivalent to the poorer oral hygiene), the higher Gingival index. The treatment results of ultrasonic tartar removal is a very effective treatment for gingivitis: after 4 weeks of treatment, 18 patients got rid of gingivitis (22.2%); The rate of severe gingivitis and moderate gingivitis all decreased. Conclusion: The incidence of plaque‐induced gingivitis is at a high level. The method of removing tartar by ultrasonic has good effect in the treatment of gingivitis. It is necessary to strengthen the dissemination of knowledge about correct oral health care for the people and perform periodic tartar removal to treat gingivitis and prevent other oral diseases.
