Abstract

La enfermedad periodontal o periodontitis es una patología inflamatoria crónica de etiología bacteriana que puede causar la pérdida de las piezas dentarias si no es diagnosticada a tiempo. El principal inconveniente en su diagnóstico precoz es la dificultad para detectar signos y síntomas por parte del paciente, ya que los iniciales son comunes a gran parte de la población (sangrado de encías, eritema, halitosis..etc). Por todo ello, es importante conocer el nivel de conocimiento en nuestro entorno, tanto de la población como de los principales transmisores de información en salud (médicos/as y enfermeros/as), con el fin de determinar medidas educativas en cuanto a la prevención, diagnóstico temprano y tratamiento de la periodontitis

Abstract

Objectives: To explore dental clinics' performance on periodontal education by comparing knowledge about periodontal health of regular and inconsistent dental attenders. Subjects and Methods: A population‐based study with a cross‐sectional design was performed in Galicia (Northwestern Spain). Participants were randomly selected from 16 different areas and a questionnaire applied face‐to‐face. The survey included items on socio‐demographic features, habits and routines, periodontal status and periodontal health knowledge. Participants were grouped according to the median of overall knowledge, and a logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between good periodontal knowledge and frequency of dental visits. Results: A total of 8,206 individuals were invited to enter the study, and 3,553 of them accepted the invitation (43.3%). Most participants (59.3%; n = 1,945) fit within the regular dental attenders' group. Younger women holding a university degree and visiting their dentist regularly elicited higher knowledge about periodontal health. Regular use of dental services increased the chances of being in the higher knowledge group (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.40–2.00). Conclusions: Reported regular dental attendance is related to periodontal health knowledge. Specific interventions for promoting tailored patient education on periodontal topics during routine dental visits may have a positive effect on laypersons' knowledge about periodontal health.
