Epidemiology of periodontal diseases among the adult population in the city of Ufa

Abstract

The article presents the results of an epidemiological study of the prevalence and intensity of inflammatory periodontal diseases (IPD) in the northern and southern parts of Ufa, as well as the need for complex periodontal treatment. The number of visits by primary persons for periodontal care in the NW is 2.1 times less than in the SW. The rank values of common risk factors for the development of IPD have been identified. When assessing the KPI index, the risk to this pathology and its difference in different parts of Ufa, taking into account the nosological form and gender, were identified. With acute gingivitis, men living in NW and SW were statistically equally treated to a periodontist, while women living in NW were 1.8 times more. With acute periodontitis in the NW, men visit a periodontist 1.9 times more than in the SW, and women, on the contrary, in the SW are 1.2 times more likely to visit than in the NW. With chronic forms of IPD, the differences in treatment among men and women were not statistically significant and did not depend on the area of residence.
