Abstract
Aim: To assess the prevalence and severity of periodontitis in an older adult population in Western Norway using the periodontitis definition by the recently published ACES 2018 Classification Framework.
Materials and methods: In the present study, 1298 70-year-old subjects answered a questionnaire and underwent a full-mouth periodontal examination. The prevalence of periodontitis, stages, extents and grades was presented according to the Framework applying the 2018 periodontal classification scheme in epidemiological survey (ACES). Descriptive analyses were used, and results were expressed as percentages of the total number of observations.
Results: According to ACES, periodontitis was detected in 100% of the study population, and Stage II, Stage III and Stage IV were present in 21%, 75% and 4% of the individuals, respectively. The majority of periodontitis cases demonstrated generalised periodontitis and Grade B was the predominant grade in the periodontitis cases. The mean number of teeth in the study population was 25.3.
Conclusion: There is a high burden of periodontitis in the present population of old individuals, and the majority of participants were classified as Stage III periodontitis. The cut-offs for interdental clinical attachment loss in the definition of periodontitis affect the estimate of cases, stages and extent of periodontitis in older age groups.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Periodontology was founded by the British, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian, and Swiss Societies of Periodontology.
The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide the platform for exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of Periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and academics. The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but wishes to retain its international scope.
The Journal publishes original contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. Its scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontium, the tissue integration of dental implants, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and alveolar bone healing and regeneration, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal disease, the clinical aspects of tooth replacement with dental implants, and the comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontal patient. Review articles by experts on new developments in basic and applied periodontal science and associated dental disciplines, advances in periodontal or implant techniques and procedures, and case reports which illustrate important new information are also welcome.
