Abstract:
ABSTRACT:Erectile dysfunction (ED) and periodontitis have common risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus
and tobacco smoking. Multiple reports are available in regard to the association between ED and
chronic periodontitis (CP). The study aimed to determine the association of ED and CP in selected
Malaysian population. In this study, 74 patients (mean age = 52.4 ± 10.9 years old) diagnosed with
ED, from scores via the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire, were included.
ED severity was classified as mild, mild to moderate, moderate, and severe. Periodontal condition was
recorded using basic periodontal examination (BPE) method, of which scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 were
associated with having no periodontitis while a score of 4 was considered to have periodontitis. There
are 40 (54.1%) subjects found to have periodontitis and the association of ED and periodontitis showed
a moderate positive degree of correlation, ρ = 0.487 (p < 0.001). The percentage of subjects having
periodontitis indicated an increasing trend with the severity of ED; from 19.0% (mild ED), 54.2%
(mild to moderate ED), 75.0% (moderate ED), to 84.6% (severe ED). A greater degree of correlation
was noted between dental scaling experience and ED, ρ = 0.635 (p < 0.001). Binomial logistic regression
had shown no other co-morbidities and factors were affecting this relation. There seemed to be an
association between ED and periodontitis existing in these selected Malaysian populations.
