Abstract

Background: Many skin diseases, especially those that also involve the oral mucosa lesions might play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of oral health and mucocutaneous inflammation. The presence of these oral sores may make it more difficult to maintain good oral hygiene, which increases plaque accumulation and raises the risk of developing periodontal disease.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the periodontal status of chronic skin disease (CSD) patients with healthy controls.

Methods: 109 patients and 37 healthy subjects were included in this study. Parameters evaluated included bleeding on probing index (BOP), periodontal pocket depths (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), simplified debris index (DI), simplified calculus index (CI), and the presence of oral lesions. Clinical parameters were measured and compared in the two groups. The significant level was set at 0.05.

Results: CSD patients had significantly higher BOP and a lower percentage of teeth with CAL ≤ 3mm compared to the controls. In addition, CAL > 6 mm only presented in the cases. There were no significant differences in PPD, PI, CI, and oral lesions between the two groups.

Conclusions: This pilot study showed that CSD patients' periodontal status was worse than healthy controls. The results suggest that CSD patients appear to be more at risk in developing and progressing periodontal diseases.
