Abstract

Periodontal health status index is curer-centered index which the dentists examine and evaluate. So it is not quite appropriate for evaluating the subjective symptoms and satisfaction levels of patients. To compensate for that shortcoming, we need to make use of subjective index on periodontal health status with which the patinets can evaluated their oral health state themselves. So, this research was done for examining oral health index of periodontal patients who had been examined by using 「Periodontal age index」which is devised for evaluating patient’s subjective periodontal health index. The number of whole test subjects was 2,199 consisted of 1,115 (50.7%) men and 1,084 (49.7%) women. The periodontal age increased on the age group between 18-24 and 40-44 by age. There was no significant difference on the age group between 40-44 and 55-59. And the periodontal age decreases on the age group over 60-64 Periodontal age index which was used for this study increases to the forties when the teeth are to be lost seriously by periodontal disease, and decreases. This shows that the periodontal age index reflects periodontal state rather than the hypofunction by tooth loss.
