ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The condition of the oral cavity is closely connected with the person’s systemic health.
Aim of the study:
To determine the prevalence of self-reported systemic diseases and related complaints, medical history among young people and reveal the correlation between systemic diseases and cervical lesions of the teeth.
Material and methods:
The study included 272 patients fully examined for the purpose of diagnosing cervical pathology of the teeth. The information about systemic diseases diagnosed in patients, presence of complaints related to them and medicine taken was obtained by means of a specially designed questionnaire.
Results:
41.9% of the participants reported systemic diseases while 67.5% had one disease. We have defined the correlation between the development of combined cervical lesions of the teeth and diseases of the digestive system and diseases of the circulatory system. A correlation has been found between the presence of several
systemic diseases in the medical history and
enamel erosion and the development of combined
cervical lesions of the teeth. We have identified
a correlation between the presence of complaints
in the medical history and cervical caries and
the combination of dental defects in participants.
A correlation has been determined between the
complaints of bitterness and a feeling of halitosis
and cervical lesions of the teeth in patients with
diseases of the digestive system.
Conclusions:
While planning individual
treatment and preventive measures for young
people we recommend considering the identified
correlations to increase their effectiveness and
prevent the development of combined forms of
cervical lesions of the teeth.
