Aim: The aim was to compare the prevalence of periodontal conditions in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) ( n=78, age 14.4 years) with those revealed in a healthy control group ( n=75, age 15.5 years). Material and Methods: In both groups, the approximal plaque index (API), the modified sulcular bleeding index (SBI), and the clinical attachment loss (CAL) were determined. Laboratory parameters for JIA activity included the capsule-reactive protein (CRP) and the immunoglobulins A, G, M. Results: JIA patients had a significantly higher API (64.6% versus 49.9%, p=0.004) and slightly higher mean percentages of sites with CAL>3.5 mm (0.58% versus 0.22%, p=0.041). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of patients and controls who had sites with CAL >3.5 mm (25.6% versus 17.3%, p=0.212). The mean CAL was slightly greater (0.2 mm; p=0.030) in patients with CRP⩾5.0 mg/l compared with patients with CRP<5.0 mg/l. Patients who took non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) had a significantly decreased SBI (26.2% versus 51.1%, p=0.019). Conclusion: After adjustment for microbial plaque, JIA is not a risk factor for periodontitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
