Periodontal health is an essential component of the general health. Since periodontitis could be associated with many systemic conditions like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and hypertension, therefore maintaining good periodontal health is important for improving the overall systemic health and quality of life. Lack of effective preventive measures and educational systems towards proper maintenance and early diagnosis of periodontal health problems would contribute to the widespread of periodontal disease. Hence, increasing public oral health awareness and emphasizing the importance of regular dental visits would contribute greatly to the maintenance of an ideal periodontal health condition.
This cross-sectional study aimed at assessing the knowledge and practice of periodontal health with a simultaneous assessment of periodontal health status among a sample from adult Egyptian patients. The present study was conducted on 511 subjects who were recruited in a consecutive manner from the diagnostic center at Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo university. A well-structured questionnaire was filled from all the participants via personal face-to-face interview by the investigator using simple and short questions including a section for demographic data of age, sex, social and educational level, diabetes and smoking habits of the patients. Periodontal health knowledge was assessed focusing on the basic knowledge of gingival appearance, causes and outcomes of periodontal disease, impact of systemic disease on the periodontal disease progression. Periodontal practice was assessed evaluating tooth brushing, flossing, mouth rinsing, scaling in recent five years and how to alleviate gingival bleeding. The CPITN/CPI scores were measured reflecting state of periodontal health. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS program.
