Observar Necesidad de Tratamiento Periodontal (NTP) en pacientes adultos sin Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (noDM2) y con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) controlados y no controlados en una población chilena.
Materiales y MétodosEstudio observacional de corte transversal. Un periodoncista registró la NTP según el Índice Comunitario de Necesidad de Tratamiento Periodontal (CPITN), en una muestra de pacientes noDM2, DM2 controlados (Hemoglobina Glicosilada HbA1c ≤ a 6.5%) y DM2 no controlados (HbA1c >6.5%) del Centro Clínico Militar de Valdivia-Chile entre abril y julio del 2012. Se registró edad, género, y presencia de hipertensión arterial. Se analizaron las variables sociodemográficas y la asociación estadística entre NTP en pacientes noDM2, con DM2 controlados y no controlados (test chi-cuadrado, p<0.05).
ResultadosNoventa y seis pacientes fueron analizados con una edad promedio de 55.2±8.3 años de los cuales 45 (48.9%) eran diabéticos. El 96.88% de la muestra presentaron una NTP por parte de especialista (códigos 3 y 4 del CPITN), no existiendo diferencia significativa entre pacientes DM2 y noDM2 (p=0.63). No se observaron diferencias significativas en NTP entre aquellos pacientes con diabetes controlada y no controlada (p=0.43).
ConclusionesReportes previos relacionan la presencia y la falta de control de DM2 como factor de riesgo de enfermedad periodontal. Sin embargo, en nuestro estudio existió un alto índice de NTP especializada en todos los tipos de pacientes examinados.
To observe the Periodontal Treatment Need (PTN) in adult patients without Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (noDM2) and with Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) controlled and non-controlled in a chilean population.
Materials and MethodsCross sectional study. A periodontist recorded the PTN according to the Periodontal Treatment Need Community Index (CPITN), from a sample of patients with noDM2, controlled DM2 (Hemoglobin A, Glycosylated HbA1c ≤ a 6.5%) and non-controlled DM2 (HbA1c >6.5%) from the Army Clinical Center in Valdivia-Chile between april and july 2012. The age, sex and presence of arterial hypertension were recorded. The sociodemographic variables and the statistical association between PTN in patients with noDM2, with controlled and non-controlled DM2 (chi-squared test, p<0.05) were also analyzed.
ResultsNinety six patients were analyzed. The average age was 55.2±8.3 years old, 45 of them (48.9%) were diabetics. 96.88% of the samples presented a PTN by the specialists (CPITN codes 3 and 4), there were no significant differences between DM2 and noDM2 patients (p=0.63). No significant differences were observed in PTN between patients with controlled and non-controlled diabetes (p=0.43).
ConclusionsPrevious reports related the presence and lack of control of DM2 as a risk factor of periodontal disease. Nonetheless, in our study, there was a high index of PTN in all the different types of patients examined.
