ABSTRACT

Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the vertical bone loss sites in hypertensive patients with chronic periodontitis. Background: A global burden of periodontal disease can have a negative impact on the overall quality of life of the affected individuals. Hence, studying the patterns of vertical bone loss in periodontitis patients and effective early treatment for periodontitis in patients with systemic diseases is the need of the hour. Materials and methods: The present retrospective study was a hospital based study conducted in Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. A total of 200 subjects who were found to have hypertension and chronic periodontitis were taken into the study. Data collection includes various parameters such as age (21 to 90 years), gender (male or female), vertical bone loss sites in hypertensive patients with chronic periodontitis which was divided as the maxillary anterior or posterior region and mandibular anterior or posterior region. Statistical tests were done using SPSS Version 23.0 Results: A total number of 200 patients data were analyzed, out of which 52.50% were male patients and 47.50% were female patients. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 51-60 years (37.50%). The most commonly affected site was the mandibular posterior region (39.50%). The association between age groups and vertical bone loss sites in hypertensive patients was found to be statistically significant (p value=0.00). Conclusion: Within the limitations of the study it can be concluded that vertical bone loss was found more prevalently in the mandibular posterior tooth region among hypertensive patients with chronic periodontitis. It was common in the age group of 51-60years, with a male predilection. Keywords: Hypertension; Chronic periodontitis; Retrospective study; Vertical Bone Loss
