Abstract

Aim: To describe the burden of oral diseases and of self-reported periodontal disease of patients under Oral Anticoagulation Therapy (OAT) with warfarin.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Validated questionnaires assessed self-re-ported periodontal disease and demographic variables. After calibration (Kappa > 0.80), an examiner evaluated dental caries and the need for dental prostheses. Statistical analysis involved proportions and measures of central tendency. Results: The sample consisted of 158 individuals, with a mean age of 58.8 years (SD = 12.1), of which 62.7% of the participants were women. The average DMFT (Decayed, Mis-sing, and Filled Teeth) index was 22.9 (SD = 7.6), with the missing component being the highest (Mean = 16.23). The use of maxillary prosthesis (53.2%) was higher than mandibu-lar (32.3%). The need for mandibular prosthesis reached 66.5%. The percentage of partici-pants that referred gum disease, tooth migration, and tooth mobility was 29.6%, 37.4%, and 30.4%, respectively.Conclusions: The burden of oral diseases among individuals undergoing OAT is worrisome.

描述华法林使用者的口腔健康。简短的报告

目的:了解华法林口服抗凝治疗(OAT)患者口腔疾病负担及自报牙周病情况。方法:采用横断面研究。有效的问卷评估了自我报告的牙周病和人口统计学变量。校正后(Kappa > 0.80)，审查员评估龋齿和是否需要种植义齿。统计分析涉及比例和集中趋势的度量。结果:样本共158人，平均年龄58.8岁(SD = 12.1)，其中62.7%为女性。龋齿、缺牙和补牙的平均指数为22.9 (SD = 7.6)，其中缺牙成分最高(Mean = 16.23)。上颌假体使用率(53.2%)高于下颌骨(32.3%)。下颌假体需要率为66.5%。提到牙龈疾病、牙齿移动和牙齿移动的参与者比例分别为29.6%、37.4%和30.4%。结论:OAT患者的口腔疾病负担令人担忧。
