Abstract

The prevalence of obesity has increased drastically in most developed countries. Many studies showed that obesity associated with oral diseases, especially periodontal disease. A recent study showed the relation between WC and periodontal disease counted by gingival index (GI). However, studies regarding the mechanism of the relationship between obesity and periodontal disease are still quite a few, whereas many studies conducted suggested that obesity was a medical problem. The study was aimed to know and assess the gingival condition of obese people who visited the Dental Polyclinic of Hasan Sadikin Hospital. The type of this study was descriptive with the survey technique. A total of 54 people consisted of 35 female and 19 male patients with the age range of 20-49 years old, and not using any dental prosthesis or orthodontic appliance. This study was using a questionnaire and clinical examination to assess the condition of the gingival using the Löe and Silness Gingival index (GI). Examination of obesity conducted by measuring the waist circumference with criteria from WHO. The average value of the gingival index was 1.22. Meanwhile, the average value of the waist circumference (WC) was 95.89 cm and 107.74 cm consecutively for female and male. The majority of obese patients suffered moderate gingivitis.

Abstract

The normal alveolar bone crest located at a distance of 1 to 2 mm from CEJ towards the apical. If there is a bone loss, the alveolar bone crest located at 2 mm more to the apical from CEJ. The alveolar bone loss is one characteristic of aggressive periodontitis and the onset of the disease at the age of puberty. The purpose of this research was to know and to assess the height of alveolar bone crest using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in patients with aggressive periodontitis. The type of this research was descriptive. A total of 317 sample CBCT imagery from 6 aggressive periodontitis patients. The result of this research showed that average height of alveolar bone crest second premolar distal, the first molar mesial, first molar distal and second molar mesial on the first region were 3 mm, 4.2 mm, 6.1 mm, and 4.8 mm respectively. On the second region were 3.2 mm, 3.6 mm, 3.6 mm, and 3.4 mm respectively, and in the third region were 2.4 mm, 2.8 mm, 2.5 mm dan 1.4 mm consecutively. While in the fourth region were 2.9 mm, 3 mm, 2.8 mm, and 2.3 mm respectively. The average height of alveolar bone crest of aggressive periodontitis was 3.8 mm. Slicing CBCT imagery on coronal view for the anterior region and sagittal view for the posterior region, showed the characteristic of height alveolar bone crest was arch-shaped which showed the different height of alveolar bone crest of the second premolar distal until second molar mesial.
