- Brief Summary
Maintaining good oral health is essential for general health and quality of life. Results of many anal-yses showed that stroke patients had poorer oral condition and worse periodontal status than control population. The aim of the study was to carry out a clinical observation concerning condition of oral health in stroke patients and healthy population.
The oral health was assessed in patients with stroke and in (control group). The following elements were assessed: missing teeth, the presence of active caries foci, the presence of existing fillings and prosthetic restorations. To assess oral hygiene API (Approximal Plaque Index) was used. As part of periodontal examina-tion, the following were assessed: the presence of dental deposits, the depth of the existing periodontal pockets, tooth mobility according to Hall and Sulcus Bleeding Index during probing (SBI).

Group Intervention Description study group oral examination The study group consisted of 59 individuals subjects with a first ischemic stroke, with symptoms from the anterior cerebral artery (basin of the internal carotid artery), with a significant neurological deficit (minimum 3 points according to National Institute of Health Stroke Scale control group oral examination The control group (59 individuals) matched for age and gender was selected among patients of the Department of Interdisciplinary Dentistry at Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Periodontal status- periodontal pockets Baseline The depth of the existing periodontal pockets in mm (up to 3mm, 3-6 mm, above 6 mm).
Oral health status Baseline The study aimed to estimate and compare a condition of oral health in stroke patients during hospital stay and healthy individuals.The following elements were assessed: a number of missing teeth, active caries foci and existing fillings. Each tooth was evaluated and scored as sound, decayed (DT), extracted because of the carious pro-cess (MT), or filled due to caries (FT). The data obtained from the examination were used to calculate the DMFT index, which is the sum of DT, MT and FT, and expresses dental caries experience.
Periodontal status-tooth mobility Baseline Tooth mobility according to Hall (0- no mobility, 1- labio-lingual mobility up to 1mm, 2- labio-lingual mobility up to 2 mm, 3- labio-lingual and vertical mobility).
Periodontal status- bleeding Baseline Sulcus Bleeding Index during probing (SBI). SBI is an index of gingival inflammation in which bleeding is measured from four gingival units (mesial and distal papillary units and labial and lingual marginal units) using a periodontal probe with a 0,5 mm diameter tip. The scoring range around eight anterior teeth (four maxillary and four mandibular) is from 0 (healthy appearance and no bleeding on probing to 5 (spontaneous bleeding with marked swelling and change in colour).
Oral hygiene assessment Baseline Value of API is determined in percentage, according to proportion of the number of interproximal areas with plaque to number of all assessed interproximal areas.API values between 100-70% indicate the improper oral hygiene, values between 70-40% indicate an average oral hygiene, values between 39-25% indicate quite good hygiene, and values below 25% indicate optimal oral hygiene.
