Periodontitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Rationale- Periodontal disease is a dynamic inflammatory condition, that affects the periodontium and has a profound effect on the overall systemic health of the individual. Unfortunately, the symptoms of periodontal disease often go unnoticed by affected individuals and this contributes towards unpleasant and irreversible consequences such as tooth loss. Hence it is important to develop an easy, cost effective and widely acceptable method for the patients to assess their periodontal health. Objectives- To translate, culturally adapt and validate the CDC/AAP questionnaire along with other relevant surveillance questions in the Hindi language according to the new case definitions of periodontal diseases. Methods- The original 8-item CDC/AAP questionnaire as well as other selected periodontal disease surveillance questions will be translated into Hindi through forward translation, backward translation, and expert committee process to reach a consensus and produce a final version. The final version of the questionnaire will be administered to patients seeking care from out-patient department of department of Periodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak. Full-mouth periodontal examination, consisting of measurements of the probing pocket depth (PPD), full mouth bleeding score (FMBS) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at six sites per tooth using periodontal probe will be carried out for each participant.
Detailed description
Background- Periodontal disease, with its chronic systemic effects and poor influence on the quality of life of the patient, is global healthcare challenge. Hence there is a for timely diagnosis and treatment of the patients. Rationale- Periodontal disease is a dynamic inflammatory condition, that affects the periodontium and has a profound effect on the overall systemic health of the individual. Unfortunately, the symptoms of periodontal disease often go unnoticed by affected individuals and this contributes towards unpleasant and irreversible consequences such as tooth loss. Hence it is important to develop an easy, cost effective and widely acceptable method for the patients to assess their periodontal health. Objectives- To translate, culturally adapt and validate the CDC/AAP questionnaire along with other relevant surveillance questions in the Hindi language according to the new case definitions of periodontal diseases. Methods- The original 8-item CDC/AAP questionnaire as well as other selected periodontal disease surveillance questions will be translated into Hindi through forward translation, backward translation, and expert committee process to reach a consensus and produce a final version. The final version of the questionnaire will be administered to patients seeking care from out-patient department of department of Periodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak. Full-mouth periodontal examination, consisting of measurements of the probing pocket depth (PPD), full mouth bleeding score (FMBS) and clinical attachment level (CAL) at six sites per tooth using periodontal probe will be carried out for each participant. Expected outcomes- Response to self- reported questionnaire (individual questions as well as in combination) in Hindi speaking population and its ability to predict periodontal status will be evaluated. If found to be valid, this could serve as a vital tool for periodontal health screening for Hindi speaking population at the primary care level.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTHindi version of self reported oral health questionnaire
The original 8-item CDC/AAP questionnaire as well as other selected periodontal disease surveillance questions will be translated into Hindi through forward translation, backward translation, and expert committee process to reach a consensus and produce a prefinal version. The prefinal version questionnaire will be pilot tested on a sample of 20 patients to evaluate the overall comprehension by non-professionals. On the basis of responses and evaluation from the participants, the questionnaire will be further refined to build the final version. The final version of the questionnaire will be administered to patients seeking care from out-patient department of department of Periodontics at PGIDS, Rohtak. The participants will be required to fill the questionnaire by themselves prior to periodontal examination, without any help from others.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Response to self- reported questionnaire (individual questions as well as in combination) in Hindi speaking population. | 1-1.5 months | Hindi version of self-reported oral health questionnaire will be administered to consecutive patients attending out-patient department. Periodontal status of the patients was then evaluated by measuring PI, GI, PPD, BOP, CAL. Their responses were then correlated with the periodontal status. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of responses of Self-Reported Questionnaire for periodontal health with demographic data of the patient | 1-1.5 months | The responses will be evaluated along with demographic data of the patient like age, gender, level of education, occupation, marital status and place of residence |
| Correlation of Bleeding on probing (BOP) with response of Self- Reported Questionnaire for periodontal health | 1-1.5 months | Bleeding on probing was checked for each patient and response from their Hindi version self-reported oral health questionnaire were correlated |
| Correlation of Probing pocket depth (PPD) with Self-Reported Questionnaire for periodontal health | 1-1.5 months | Probing pocket depth was measured for each patient and their response of the Hindi version self-reported questionnaire was correlated |
| Correlation of Clinical attachment level (CAL) with Self-Reported Questionnaire for periodontal health | 1-1.5 months | Clinical attachment loss was measured for each patient and their response of the Hindi version of self-reported oral health questionnaire was correlated |
