Association Between Periodontitis And Psoriasis: Preliminary Study.
Objectives: To compare the presence of periodontitis and oral hygiene habits among individuals with psoriasis and healthy individuals.
Methods:
Case-control preliminary study of patients with psoriasis and without it. Patients older than 18 years with psoriasis vulgaris, and patients without it and systemically healthy were included. The psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), number of teeth, dental hygiene habits were evaluated, and the presence and severity of periodontitis was determined according to diagnosis criteria of poblational studies on periodontitis in relation to probing depths and clinical attachment levels in gums. In the analysis Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test and logistic regression were used, with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: A total of 47 patients with psoriasis and 46 healthy controls were included. The psoriasis group had an average age of 47.58 ± 13.60 years, 56.25% were men, and the control group 37.93 ± 12,36 years, 43.75% were men (p<0.001 and p=0.215, respectively). Patients with psoriasis presented severe, moderate and mild or absence of periodontitis in 47.83%, 26.09% and 10.87%, respectively, while controls 21.28%, 25.53% and 6.38% respectively, presenting differences in severe periodontitis between cases and controls (p=0.004). Patients with psoriasis had an average of 22.15 ± 4.76 teeth and a brushing frequency of 2.20 ± 1.02 times a day, while the control group presented 25.12 ± 3.13 teeth and frequency of brushing 2.70 ± 0.83 per day (p<0.01 respectively). Patients with psoriasis are 8.3 times more likely to have mild periodontitis than controls (Odds ratio 95% CI: 1.36-50.38), and 8.3 times to have severe periodontitis than controls (Odds ratio 95% CI: 1.05-12.58). No association was found between the severity of periodontitis and the severity of psoriasis.
Conclusions: Patients with psoriasis had a higher frequency of mild and severe periodontitis, fewer teeth and less daily brushing habits in comparision to control patients.
