Abstract

Aims

The aims of the present study were to assess the prevalence and pattern of gingival bleeding on probing (BOP) and to evaluate the effect of oral health behavior and demographic determinants on gingival health in 11-16-year-old school children in Chandigarh, India.

Methods

A cross-sectional study, using stratified random sampling, was conducted across two age groups, 11-13 years and 14-16 years, and two socioeconomic strata: upper and lower. The World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Questionnaire for Children was used to record the data, and the WHO Community Periodontal Index (modified) was used to assess gingival BOP.

Results

Among all the 2294 children examined, an estimated 54.2% had gingival BOP. The odds of BOP were also higher in the younger age group (odds ratio [OR]: 1.261, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.068-1.487, P = 0.006), higher for boys (OR: 1.200, 95% CI: 1.017-1.416, P = 0.031), and lower in the upper strata (OR: 0.805, 95% CI: 0.682-0.951, P = 0.011). Gingival BOP was 58.5% in the mandibular and 41.5% in the maxillary arch (P < 0.0001); χ²-test found tooth cleaning frequency to be a significant contributing factor for gingival BOP (P = 0.014).

Conclusions

An inverse co-relation of gingival BOP with age, socioeconomic status, and a higher prevalence in boys was observed, necessitating periodic preventive dental education, particularly focusing on the target group. Additionally, early screening and prompt treatment to intercept the disease is advocated.

口腔健康行为和人口统计学变量对印度昌迪加尔11-16岁学龄儿童牙龈健康的影响:一项横断面研究

本研究的目的是评估在印度昌迪加尔11-16岁学龄儿童牙诊时牙龈出血(BOP)的患病率和模式，并评估口腔健康行为和人口统计学决定因素对牙龈健康的影响。方法采用分层随机抽样的横断面研究方法，对11-13岁和14-16岁两个年龄组、上层和下层两个社会经济阶层进行研究。使用世界卫生组织(WHO)儿童口腔健康问卷记录数据，并使用WHO社区牙周指数(修订)评估牙龈BOP。结果在接受检查的2294名儿童中，估计有54.2%的儿童患有牙龈BOP。低龄组发生BOP的几率也较高(比值比[OR]: 1.261, 95%可信区间[CI]: 1.068 ~ 1.487, P = 0.006)，男童较高(比值比:1.200,95% CI: 1.017 ~ 1.416, P = 0.031)，上层较低(比值比:0.805,95% CI: 0.682 ~ 0.951, P = 0.011)。下颌牙龈BOP为58.5%，上颌弓为41.5% (P <0.0001);χ2检验发现，清洁牙齿频率是影响牙龈BOP的重要因素(P = 0.014)。结论牙龈BOP与年龄、社会经济地位和男孩患病率呈反比关系，有必要对目标人群进行定期预防性牙科教育。此外，提倡早期筛查和及时治疗以拦截疾病。

期刊介绍： Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease. Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific. The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012. Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific. The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
