Abstract:
Background: Approximately 90% of the global population suffers from periodontal disesase, characterizes by bleeding gums, pain, and bad breath. The impact of this disease is diverse, ranging from tooth loss, disruption of aesthetics and confidence, to influencing individual nutritional status. The disease can be caused by damage of the periodontal tissues. Therefore, the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) is highly essential for assessing the extend of issues in periodontal tissues, including evaluating oral and dental health problems in patients. This assessment can aid in the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease.
Material and Methods: This research is a descriptive study. The population consists of all patients who visited the periodontology clinic at the Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, in the year 2022. The sample was taken using a total sampling technique, involving secondary data obtained from the periodontal status cards of patients, specifically focusing on the examination data related to the condition of periodontal tissues based on the Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN).
Conclusion: The CPITN scores vary between gender and age groups of the patients. Therefore, bivariate research is needed to analyze the relationship of these parameters with the CPITN scores of periodontology patients.
