ABSTRACT

With the purpose of determining the periodontal health status in adults patients of who receive dental attention in to the Dental School clinics of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, 408 patients were reviewed and categorized by groups of sex, age, level of education and place of residence, evaluating the depth of the gingival grooves in different gingival areas, classifying them according to the codes described by the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN), which determines the complexity of the gross alterations in periodontal tissues according to 5 levels or codes. The results showed high needs of periodontal treatment by different degrees in the population, up to 96%, while 4% required only preventive treatment and instruction, coinciding with similar studies carried out by other authors. It was also noted that the sex and place of residence did not influence the prevalence of periodontal alterations, on the other hand the need of periodontal treatment in the various age groups, is expressed only in the highest degree expressed as code 4 (C4), with an upward trend of need of periodontal treatment related to the upward trend of the different ages. Higher frequency of periodontal alterations evidenced in people with middle education degree with a 34%. Concluding that it is necessary to encourage the culture of the self-care to the patient as a counterweight element, because is there the most effective prevention impact achieves.
