Abstract | Introduction and objective: Aggressive periodontitis (AgP) is a type of periodontitis that causes rapid destruction of alveolar bone, especially in young ages. In Bangladesh, there is no previous study about aggressive periodontitis, so the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and related risk factors for aggressive periodontitis among school students in Sylhet. Material and methods: In this study, a two-stage sampling method was used. At first stage, a random sample of ten public schools was selected from the schools of Sylhet by simple random sampling. In the second stage, a sample of 1,010 students (370 male and 640 female) was drawn from the chosen schools by simple random sampling. People aged from 10 to 16, with mean age of 13. The classification considered in the current paper was based on the American Academy of Periodontology classification of 1999. A questionnaire was applied and included questions that would give information about the risk factors that might be considered causal factors for aggressive periodontitis. Results: The number of affected students with AgP was 48 among 1,010 students, that is, 3.2% of the sample. The percentages of localized aggressive periodontitis (LAgP) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAgP) were, respectively, 2.1% (28 students) and 1.1% (20 students). The following teeth were found to be affected: incisors, first premolars, second premolars, first molars and second molars, In GAgP, 12 incisors, 8 first premolars, 3 second premolars, 18 first molars and 5 second molars showed clinical attachment loss. But in LAgP, 17 incisors, 5 first premolars, 4 second premolars, 15 first molars and 6 second molars showed clinical attachment loss. With regards to the risk factors – socioeconomic level, age, poor oral hygiene status, plaque index and gingival bleeding, the statistical results indicated that each of these factors showed highly significant relationships with AgP. Conclusion: The prevalence of AgP among school students was relatively high: 3.2%. This might be related to the low socioeconomic level and poor oral hygiene status of most of the students in North-East Region of Bangladesh. |
