Abstract
Background: The study objectives were to determine tooth loss prevalence and to investigate the relationship between tooth loss and potential risk factors among adult dentate HIV+ patients on newer antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens.
Methods: Health records of 450 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals were surveyed. Eighty-eight records of dentate HIV+ individuals with full-mouth periodontal charting and intra-oral periapical radiographs were identified. We collected data on demographics, systemic risk factors, oral health, and HIV disease measures. Caries exposure and alveolar bone loss (ABL) were radiographically assessed.
Results: Eighty-eight percent of patients showed tooth loss. Patients with ABL ≥15% had a higher number of missing teeth (p < .01). Stepwise regression analyses indicated that tooth loss was positively associated with age (β = 0.45, p < .01) and ABL (β = 0.39, p < .01). By contrast number of years on ART was negatively associated with tooth loss (β = -0.28, p < .05).
Conclusions: Tooth loss remains prevalent among HIV+ patients, and periodontal disease is a significant contributor. The number of years on ART seem to improve oral health behavior and reduce tooth loss.
研究背景研究目的是确定牙齿脱落的流行率,并调查接受新型抗逆转录病毒疗法(ART)治疗的成年有牙齿 HIV+ 患者中牙齿脱落与潜在风险因素之间的关系。方法:调查了 450 名人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染者的健康记录。确定了 88 份具有全口牙周病历和口内根尖周炎 X 光片的牙源性 HIV 感染者的病历。我们收集了有关人口统计学、系统性风险因素、口腔健康和 HIV 疾病测量的数据。对龋齿暴露和牙槽骨损失(ABL)进行了放射学评估:结果:88%的患者牙齿脱落。ABL≥15%的患者缺牙数量较多(p 结论:缺牙在艾滋病患者中仍然普遍存在:牙齿缺失在艾滋病病毒感染者中仍然很普遍,牙周病是一个重要因素。接受抗逆转录病毒疗法的年数似乎可以改善口腔健康行为,减少牙齿脱落。
