Associação entre o Registro Periodontal Simplificado (PSR) e o autorrelato da doença periodontal

Abstract

The Periodontal Screening and Recording (PSR) consists of a method of surveying periodontal conditions in daily clinical practice, early detection of periodontal disease and screening of treatment needs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the PSR and self-reported periodontal disease in diagnosing periodontal condition. The sample consisted of 169 patients divided into groups E1 (stage 1; N= 28), E2 (stage 2; N= 33), E3 (stage 3; N= 72) and E4 (stage 4; N= 36) according to the diagnosis of periodontitis. Patients in group E4 had a higher mean age of 45.5 years (± 11.3) and lower mean teeth of 18.3 (± 5.9) when compared to those diagnosed at other stages (p < 0.05). Patients in groups E3 and E4 had higher PS (probing depth) values (2.2 ± 1.0; 2.2 ± 0.9; respectively) when compared to groups E1 and E2 (p< 0.05). All patients had codes 3 (N= 79) or 4 (N=90) as their highest PSR score. A higher frequency of distribution of PSR score 4 (54.4 %) was observed in patients in group E3 (p< 0.05). A higher frequency of self-reported tooth mobility was found in patients in group E3 (51.2 %) (p< 0.05) and in patients in the group with the highest PSR 4 score (79.1 %) (p<0.001). Considering the highest PSR score found in the patient, the PSR code 4 was associated with severe forms of periodontitis and the presence of self-reported mobility.
