| PURPOSE: To investigate the periodontal health status of type 2 diabetes patients in the Department of endocrinology of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People’s Hospital,it is aimed to explore relevant influencing factors of chronic periodontitis,so as to provide epidemiological basis for targeted prevention and treatment of periodontal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes in the region.METHODS: Periodontal examination and questionnaire survey were conducted of patients with type 2 diabetes who visited the Endocrinology Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People’s Hospital from November 2018 to December2018.The relevant periodontal indicators were checked and scored,including probing depth,bleeding on probing,attachment loss,calculus index,plaque index,etc.Sociodemographic information,diabetes history,periodontal health-related behaviors,and other information were obtained through questionnaires.SPSS 22.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.RESULTS: Of the 916 patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in the survey,670 patients with periodontitis were detected.The overall prevalence of periodontitis was73.14%,and the number of missing teeth per capita was 4.85.The age of diabetic patients,the duration of diabetes,and the presence or absence of complications are risk factors for periodontitis.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age,gender,fasting blood glucose,course of disease,diabetes complications,smoking,drinking,BMI and the number of missing teeth were independent variables,indicating that age was the risk factor of chronic periodontitis(P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONS: Periodontal health of patients with type 2 diabetes in the region is not optimistic.The early prevention and treatment of periodontitis is extremely important.We need to pay attention to the periodontal health of the elderly,the long-term course of disease and the patients with diabetic complications,and it is necessary to carry out targeted oral prevention and health care work for this population. |
