Abstract:

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to describe the periodontal status and its association with sociodemographic, oral-health related behaviours and use of drugs among homeless people temporarily institutionalized. The data were collected through oral clinical examination and questionnaire with 102 adults attending the only public institution for this group in Goiania, Goias, Brazil. The periodontal condition was measured by the presence of bleeding on probing, dental calculus and periodontal pockets, according to the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Chi-square test and Poisson regressions with robust variance were performed. The prevalence of CPI>1 was 83.3%. Nearly 68.0% of the sample had bleeding, 82.4% had calculus and 9.8% periodontal pockets. In the bivariate analyses, those who reported having ever used illicit drugs had a higher prevalence of calculus; males and unmarried had a higher prevalence of pockets. In the adjusted analysis, individuals who used dental floss had a lower prevalence of bleeding (PR= 0.58; 95%CI= 0.35-0.96). The remaining covariates were not associated with the outcomes. It was concluded that the prevalence of periodontal alteration (CPI>1) was high, the most frequent condition was calculus and the only independent association was between bleeding and use of dental floss.
