Prevalence of OSMF, Peri-Implantitis and Dental Caries in a Known Population and its Management

Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to assess the Prevalence of OSMF, Peri-implantitis and Dental caries in a known population and its management.

Material and methods: This study was conducted to assess the Prevalence of OSMF, Peri-implantitis and Dental caries in a known population and to overlook into its management. This study comprised of 100 subjects. All the subjects had been informed about the procedure and were asked to give consent. 40 out of 100 subjects denied to give consent and hence they had been excluded from the study. Hence, there were 60 subjects included in total. The subjects had undergone oral clinical examination and the prevalence of the oral conditions had been noted down. The treatment plan had been made for all the patients. Statistical analysis had been carried out using SPSS software. 

Results: The prevalence of OSMF was 30%. Peri-implantitis was observed in 45% subjects and dental caries was observed in 25% individuals. Curcumin therapy and topical steroids had been chosen for the management of oral submucous fibrosis. Antiseptics and antibiotics had been administered for the management of peri-implantitis and for the treatment of dental caries, root canal treatment and restoration of the decayed tooth had been done.

Conclusion: The prevalence of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) was found to be 30%. Peri-implantitis was identified in 45% of the subjects, while dental caries was present in 25% of individuals. For the treatment of oral submucous fibrosis, curcumin therapy and topical steroids were utilized. In addressing peri-implantitis, antiseptics and antibiotics were administered, and for dental caries, root canal treatment and restoration of the affected tooth were performed.
