Abstract
Abstract This study comprised 1131 persons who constitute a stratified random sample of the entire population aged 15–65 years in Machakos District, Kenya. Each person was examined for tooth mobility, plaque, calculus, gingival bleeding, loss of attachment and pocket depth on the mesial, buccal, distal and lingual surface of each tooth. The oral hygiene was poor with plaque on 75–95% and calculus on 10–85% of the surfaces depending on age. Irrespective of age, pockets ≥4 mm was seen on less than 20% of the surfaces, whereas 10–85% of the surfaces had loss of attachment ≥1 mm. The proportion of surfaces per individual with loss of attachment ≥4 mm or ≥7 mm, and pocket depths ≥4 mm or ≥7 mm, respectively, showed a pronounced skewed distribution, indicating that in each age group, a subfraction of individuals is responsible for a substantial proportion of the total periodontal breakdown. The individual teeth within the dentition also showed a marked variation in the severity of periodontal breakdown. Our findings provide additional evidence that destructive periodontal disease should not be perceived as an inevitable consequence of gingivitis which ultimately leads to considerable tooth loss, A more specific characterization of the features of periodontal breakdown in those individuals who seem particularly susceptible is therefore warranted.
