“…These findings are comparable to 14.1% code 3 and 1.3% code 4 reported in the urban–rural populace in Benin City by Akhionbare, et al .,[21] but lower than the 32.7% code 3 and 17.8% code 4 reported among factory workers in Romania by Roman, et al . [22] The little evidence of damage to the periodontal tissues despite the high prevalence of gingival bleeding on probing and calculus among participants has been attributed to the fibrous nature of diet among Nigerians in a previous study,[23] which may help reduce the periodontopathic bacteria population.…”

Background:The association between periodontal status, oral hygiene status and severity of tooth wear lesion varies from community to community and also from occupation to occupation.Aim:To determine the association between periodontal status, oral hygiene status and tooth wear among the adult male population in Benin City, Nigeria.Subjects and Methods:This study was conducted among 65 male drivers, aged 25-64 years, with a mean age of 48.6 (9.1) years in an organized private motor park in Benin City between November 2011 and January 2012. The data collected through interview and clinical oral examination were age, educational status, driving experience, oral hygiene status, periodontal status and severity of tooth wear.Results:In this study, 13.8% (9/65) and 1.5% (1/65) of the participants had 4-5 mm and ≥6 mm periodontal pockets, respectively. A total of 15.4% (10/65) of the participants had poor oral hygiene status and 58.5% (38/65) of the participants had tooth wear lesion, with 15.8% (9/65) being severe tooth wear lesions (score 3). Participants with poorer oral hygiene and more severe tooth wear lesions significantly exhibited poorer periodontal status. There also existed a significant association between oral hygiene status and the severity of tooth wear lesion among the participants in this study.Conclusion:Data from this study revealed a statistically significant association between periodontal status, oral hygiene status and severity of tooth wear lesion among the participants.

“…This result is similar to what was previously reported. [161718] This may be because scaling and polishing effectively removes plaque, the primary etiological factor of periodontal diseases as well as calculus and stains, which are the commonly seen plaque-retentive factors.…”

Background:The major goal of non-surgical periodontal therapy is to reduce or eliminate the subgingival pathogenic microbial flora that is known to be associated with volatile sulfur compounds (VSC).Aim:The aim of this study was, therefore, to determine the effect of non-surgical periodontal therapy on the concentration of VSC in mouth air of young adults.Subjects and Methods:Four hundred subjects, grouped into two based on the absence or presence of periodontal diseases, were involved in this study. Basic periodontal examination was used for the grouping. The measurement of the concentration of the VSC in the mouth air of the subjects was done objectively, using the Halimeter, before and after the therapy, and at recall visits 2 weeks and 6 weeks after therapy. Chi-square and Paired t-test were used to find statistical significance.Results:The results revealed that at baseline, 78.7% (48/61) of the subjects who had VSC concentration more than 250 parts per billion (ppb) were from the group with periodontal disease. Immediately after non-surgical periodontal therapy, only 8.5% (17/200) of the subjects with periodontal disease had VSC concentration of more than 250 ppb while all the subjects with no periodontal disease had VSC concentration less than 181 ppb. The same pattern of reduction in the concentration of the VSC and improvement in oral hygiene was also obtained 2 weeks and 6 weeks after therapy.Conclusion:It can be concluded that non-surgical periodontal therapy brought about reduction in the concentration of volatile sulfur compounds in mouth air of young adults.

“…The convenient sampling technique was employed to recruit 54 participants which exceeded the minimum sample size of 45 calculated using Cochran's formula for epidemiological studies. [15] 2 where n = sample size, z = z-statistics for a level of confidence (set at 1.96 corresponding to 95.0% confidence level), P = 0.967 (96.7%), which is the prevalence of periodontal disease among urban and rural populations in Edo State, Nigeria, [16] q = 1 − p and d = degree of accuracy desired (error margin) = 5% (0.05).…”

“…CPITN was used to assess the periodontal status. The dentition was divided into 6 sextants: upper right , upper anterior (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), upper left (24)(25)(26)(27), lower right (47-44), lower anterior (43-33), and lower left (34-37). All teeth in each sextant were examined, with the exception of third molars.…”

Objective: To determine the periodontal characteristics of diabetic patients with tooth mobility attending the Periodontology Clinic of University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH), Benin City, Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among diabetic patients with tooth mobility in the Periodontology Clinic in UBTH, Benin City, Nigeria. The indices recorded for the participants were gingival index, community periodontal index of treatment need, and Miller'sindex for tooth mobility. Results: A total of 54 participants who met the inclusion criteria were approached, but only 49 of them consented and participated in this study giving a 90.7% recruitment rate. The age range and mean age of the participants were 42–84 years and 63.84 ± 1.31 years, respectively. The self-reported age of diagnosis was between 41 and 70 years with a mean age of 56.22 ± 6.88 years. About two-thirds (67.3%) of the participants were males. Less than half (38.8%) of patients were visiting the dentist for the first time. Mandibular arch housed about two-thirds (64.9%) of the mobile teeth and mandibular left quadrant housed about one-third of (34.5%) the mobile teeth. Central incisor (42.3%) constituted the most mobile teeth followed by the first molar (28.9%). A total of 17.0% of the mobile teeth were Miller's Grade 3 mobility. More than one-third (28.5%) (code 3 = 26.5%, code 4 = 2.0%) of the participants had periodontal pockets. More than half (52.7%) of participants had probing pocket depth of 5 mm and above. The gingival score which had mean as 1.60 ± 0.08 was significantly associated with age of the participants. The mean probing depth was 4.86 ± 0.21 mm. The probing depth was significant with age and duration of diabetes mellitus (DM) of the participants. Conclusion: Data from this study revealed that age of diagnosis of diabetes with tooth mobility was higher than previously reported. The most mobile teeth and earliest teeth to become mobile were the mandibular incisors, and Grade 1 severity constituted the majority. DM with tooth mobility exhibited gingival score and probing depth that had a variable significant association with demographic characteristics.
