Comparison of Oral Health Status Between Individuals with Systemic Diseases and Healthy Individuals Among Automobile Industrial Workers at Ambattur Estate, Tiruvallur
Abstract
Dentist and dental screening may be the most recent development helpful in detecting persons at risk of cardiovascular disease. Oral diseases, particularly periodontal diseases, are associated with different systemic conditions. There is a bi-directional relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. In people with periodontal disease and vascular heart issues, treating gum disease may decrease the chance of developing cardiovascular disease and improve their overall health. This article presents a cross-sectional study conducted among automobile industrial workers in Ambattur Estate, Tiruvallur. There were 50 plants, among which workers from 25 plants reported on the day of the study. The study participants underwent clinical oral examination after being questioned about demographic data and systemic disease. Oral Hygiene Index (OHI), Decayed, Missing, Filled Surfaces (DMFS) index and WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Adults, 2013 were used to assess the oral hygiene status. Throughout every clinical examination, a mouth mirror, and explorer were used. It was seen that out of 193 participants, 76 (39%) were male, and 117 (61%) were female. The study showed that the maximum number of participants had fair OHI status, with female participants having better OHI status than male participants. In general, those who were in good health had better OHI and DMFS status than those who had systemic disorders.
