ASSESSMENT OF DENTAL STATUS AND THE ROLE OF CHRONIC PANCREATITIS AS A RISK FACTOR FOR PERIODONTAL DISEASES

Аннотация

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) as a systemic disease can affect the condition of the oral cavity, including the development of periodontal diseases. The article presents an assessment of the dental status of patients with CP using clinical indices (OHIS, SBI, PI, PMA, periodontal pocket depth) and analyzes the role of CP as a risk factor for periodontal pathologies. The results showed a significant deterioration in oral hygiene, increased gingival bleeding and periodontitis progression in this group of patients. Correlation analysis revealed moderate and strong relationships between hygiene indicators and periodontal condition (r = 0.53–0.75), as well as an unexpected negative correlation with PMA (r = -0.56). It has been established that the systemic effects of CP, including inflammation and metabolic disorders, increase the risk of periodontitis. The data obtained emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to the management of such patients and open up prospects for further research into the mechanisms of this relationship.
