Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate oral health status in the participants of the “2002 Program of Juvenile Hypertension”. 271 people participated in the study. All participants were born in 1964. After the evaluation of their arterial blood pressure, all participants were differentiated into two groups: group 1 – no increase in arterial blood pressure (131 cases); group 2 – arterial hypertension detected (140 cases).

During the study, the following indications were determined: the intensity of dental caries (DMF-T), the condition of periodontal tissues (evaluated using the CPITN (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs) index), and the status of oral hygiene (using Silness-Loe plaque index), as well as oral health habits in the subjects of the study. In addition to that, the prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) in the participants of the program was determined. DMF-T: group 1 – 18.16±0.35; group 2 – 18.25±0.45. The index of the missing teeth (M) differed statistically significantly between the groups: group 1 – 3.15±0.25; group 2 – 4.12±0.31 (p<0.05). The mean value of the CPITN index was the following: group 1 – 1.8±0.68; group 2 – 1.63±0.66. The composition of the CPITN index: healthy periodontium (code 0): group 1 – 7.6%, group 2 – 5.7%; bleeding on probing (code 1): group 1 – 6.1%, group 2 – 5.7%; concrements above and under gums (code 2): group 1 – 63.4%, group 2 – 63.6%; 4-5 mm deep periodontal pockets (code 3): group 1 – 22.9%, group 2 – 22.1%; 6 mm and deeper periodontal pockets (code 4): group 1 – not found, group 2 – 2.1%; Missing sextant (code 5): group 1 – not found, group 2 – 0.8%. In both groups, the CPITN index was directly associated with the frequency of tooth brushing. The Silness-Loe plaque index: group 1 – 1.76±0.69; group 2 – 2.0±0.68. The prevalence of periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis): group 1 – 92.4%, group 2 – 94.3%. People with diagnosed hypertension more frequently had periodontitis, compared to people in the control group, although the difference was not statistically significant.

Key words: dental caries, periodontal diseases, prevalence, cardiovascular diseases.
