ABSTRACT
Aim:
To determine the prevalence of CSD and its relationship to gender, age, and number of missing teeth among patients.
Material and methods:
Medical history of 526 patients requested dental care were analyzed.
Results:
There were 168 (31.939%) with one or more CSD, including 66 (39.28%) and 102 (60.71%) for male and female, respectively. The age group of patients was 67(39.88%), 88(52.38%) and 13(7.73%) for age groups 20-40, 41-60, and >60 years, respectively. The distribution of CSD were 87 (51.78%), 63(37.5%), and 18 (10.71%) for single, double, and multiple, respectively. The percentages of blood hypertension (BH), diabetes Mellitus (DM), others, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were 94 (55.95%), 58 (34.52%), 54 (32.14%), and 40 (23.80%) respectively, The 1-4 missing teeth occurred in 127 (75. 59%) of patients, including 47 (27.97% ) and 80 (47.61%) for males and females, respectively, with significant differences (P-value=0.027).
Conclusions:
A high prevalence of CSD was reported among patients seeking dental care. BH, DM, OD, and CVD were the commonly reported CSD, with variations in their percentages involving BH at the top of the list. Understanding the association between systemic diseases and oral health will greatly assist dental healthcare providers in treating patients in the dental department safely and effectively.
