Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate periodontal status of Belarusian population in the different age groups.Epidemiological survey was undertaken among 2007 subjects at 9 age groups (15, 16, 17, 18, 20-24, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65-74) in different regions of Belarus in 2002 – 2003 . Periodontal status was assessed using CPITN index.. All data were recorded in the special examination form. Statistical analysis was performed using the methods of variation statistics and ANOVA.

The present study indicates that there are high prevalence and severity of periodontal diseases among the population of Belarus. Periodontal status becomes worse with age.

The prevalence of periodontal pockets 4-5 mm (CPITN 3) increased from 0.85 ± 0.84% in 15 yrs old to 21.69 ± 2.66% in 35-44 yrs and 31.18 ± 3.55% in 45-54 yrs. The mean number of sextants per person with shallow pockets (CPITN 3) varyied from 0.01 ± 0.01 in 15 yrs to 0.68 ± 0.08 in 35-44 and 1.03 ± 0.11 in 45-54 yrs. In elder age groups shallow periodontal pockets were registered rarely: in 12.18 ± 2.12% in 55-64 yrs and in 11.59 ± 2.13% in 65-74. The mean number of sextants per person was 0.46 ± 0.06 and 0.56 ± 0.11 accordingly. The deep periodontal pockets more than 6 mm (CPITN 4) were registered in 35-44 years in 3.31 ± 1.15% of examined subjects and the mean number of sextants per person was 0.07 ± 0.03.. In the age group 65-74 the periodontal pockets (CPITN 3, 4) were founded in 13.04 ± 1.5% of people and the mean number of sextants per person was 0.64 ± 0.07. This investigation demonstrate, that the question of adequate prevention and treatment for periodontal disease has to be addressed and answered rationales according to the dental services available.
