Abstract:
Oral hygeine status of children with henoch-schonlein purpura (HSP) disease:Backround: Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) disease is an inflammatory disease in which capillaries, venules, and arterioles are dominated by microvessels due to the accumulation of Ig-A immunity in the walls. Eighty percent of children with HSP have chronic infections such as chronic tonsillitis, otitis media, dental caries, and gingivitis.1-8 However, no research has yet been conducted to determine the prevalence and severity of tooth decay in children with Shenlein-Genoch disease, and to assess gingivitis and oral hygiene.
Materials and methods: The survey was conducted from 50 children with the HSP from the Department of Cardiovascular Connective Tissue Pathology of Pediatric Consultant Polyclinic of the National Center for Maternal and Child Health and was conducted in using cross-sectional survey accordance with the number 07- 2021/3, Principles of the Research Ethics Review Committee of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences and, the results of the study were processed using the statistical software SPSS 25.
Results: The prevalence of tooth decay among children with HSP was high at 95% for mixed dentition and 100% for each stage of primary and permanent dentition, while the intensity of tooth decay was 7,304.64 (caries+ fillings+extraction/ tooth) during primary dentition, 7,303.46 (caries+fillings / tooth) + (caries+fillings+extaction / tooth) during mixed dentures and 11,294.13 (caries+fillings+extraction / tooth) during permanent dentition. It is noteworthy that the level is very high at all.In the study of children with gingivitis, 50% of them had gingivitis with primary dentition, 60.9% with mixed dentition, and 58.8% with permanent dentition. The proportion of healthy children without gingivitis was 50% for primary dentition, 39.1% for mixed dentition, and 41.2% for permanent dentition.
The proportion of “good” condition in the study was 30% for primary dentition, 39.1% for mixed dentition, 35.3% for permanent dentition. The “mean” rate was highest for 70% for primary dentition, 56.5% for mixed dentition and 58.8% for permanent dentition. The “insufficient” rate was 4.3% for mixed dentition and the lowest for 5.9% for permanent dentition.
Conclusions:
1. The prevalence of tooth decay among children with HSP was high at 95% for mixed dentition and 100% for each stage of primary and permanent dentition, while the intensity of tooth decay was 7,304.64 (caries+ fillings+extraction/ tooth) during primary dentition. 7.303.46 (caries+ fillings+extraction/ tooth)+ ( caries+ fillings+extraction/ tooth) during mixed dentition and 11.294.13 (caries+ fillings+extraction/ tooth) for permanent dentition means that all of the level is at high intensity.
2. In the study of children with gingivitis, 50% of them had gingivitis with primary teeth, 60.9% with mixed teeth, and 58.8% with permanent teeth. The proportion of healthy children without gingivitis was 50% for primary dentition, 39.1% for mixed dentition, and 41.2% for permanent dentition. However, there is a statistically significant result (p <0.001) of the more increase in tooth plaque of poor oral hygiene the more increase in gingivitis.
3. The proportion of “good” condition in the study was 30% for primary dentition, 39.1% for mixed dentition, 35.3% for permanent dentition, the “mean” rate was 70% for primary dentition, 56.5% for mixed dentition and 58.8% for permanent dentition. The “insufficient” rate was 4.4% for mixed dentition, or the lowest for 5.9% for permanent dentition. There were no statistically significant differences (p> 0.05) between oral health and the HSP status of the children in the study. According to the results of the survey, it is observed that the oral health status among the respondents is insufficient.
