Variations in the prevalence and extent of periodontitis.

A national survey of employed adults showed a decrease in the extent and severity of periodontal disease in comparison with findings from earlier studies. Using data from that survey, this report evaluates the association of socioeconomic factors--race, education, income and dental insurance, as well as most recent dental visit--with the prevalence and extent of periodontal disease. Periodontitis was more prevalent and usually more extensive in persons who are black, have less education or had not seen a dentist in three or more years. Having dental insurance was not associated with better periodontal health.

Evaluating periodontal status of US employed adults.

A national survey of employed adults was conducted by the National Institute of Dental Research to provide more current epidemiologic information about dental disease. This report addresses one aspect of the survey's findings: periodontal status. Although almost all employed adults had experienced some loss of periodontal attachment, less than 13% had loss of attachment of 5 mm or greater. Gingival recession affected half of the population. The extent and severity of periodontal disease improved in comparison with findings from earlier studies.
