The aim. To assess the influence of liver fibrosis stage on the clinical course of periodontal diseases in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Material and Methods. 122 patients with chronic hepatitis C, treated at the 7th department ofLvivRegionalInfectiousDiseasesHospital during 2013 – 2015 were included into dental investigation. The periodontal disease was diagnosed in accordance with the classification of M. F. Danilevsky (1994). The clinical condition of periodontium was assessed by the papillary marginal alveolar index (PMA) in the modification ofParma, by the periodontal index – PI (AL Russel, 1956), by the Muhlemann and Son index – the degree of bleeding in the region of the gingival papilla (PBI). The stage of liver fibrosis was determined according to the medical history. The significance of the difference between two or more relative indicators was calculated using the Fisher test with the Metropolis algorithm. The correlation dependence between the clinical condition of periodontal tissues and the stage of liver fibrosis in patients with viral hepatitis C was studied using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
Results. The highest percentage of patients with stage of liver fibrosis F0 (70.00 ± 15.28 %) was registered in patients with healthy periodont, the lowest - in patients with generalized periodontitis of the third stage (7.89 ± 4.37 %). The highest frequency of patients with the stage of liver fibrosis F3 (73.68 ± 7.14 %) was also observed in persons suffering from generalized periodontitis stage III (73.68 ± 7.14 %).
Conclusions. The distribution of periodontal lesion severity statistically significant (p < 0.001) depended on the stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Direct (R = 0.70; p < 0.001) strong correlation between the clinical state of periodontal tissues and the stage of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C (using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient) has been determinedReferences
