Status Periodontal dan Kehilangan Tulang Alveolar pada Restorasi Proksimal yang Overhang (Periodontal Status and Alveolar Bone Loss on Overhanging Proximal Restorations)
A healthy periodontal tissue dependent on placing a proper restoration especially proximal restoration whereas to place an overhang restoration could be a risk factor for gingivitis and alveolar bone loss. The aim of the study was to find out relation prevalence periodontal status and alveolar bone loss on proximal restorations. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on patients who visited Tarogong Dental Unit Public Health Centre, Garut Regency between March and November 2010 and their periodontal status including The National Institute of Dental Research. Gingiva bleeding index, probing pocket depth using Williams probe with scale 0–10 mm, Silness-Löe plaque index and Schei technic alveolar bone loss analysis were recorded. Twenty-one out of thirtyfive of overhanging proximal restorations had bleeding on probing. Based on plaque index (Silness-Löe) 8 out of 14 respondents were categorized as a poor and 6 out of 14 had moderate category of plaque index. Overhanging proximal restorations, which had pocket depth more than 3 mm, were 24 out of 35 restorations with 8% mean alveolar bone loss. Relative risk of gingival bleeding on overhanging proximal restoration was 1.05 meanwhile the relative risk of pocket depth was 1.60. In conclusions, on overhanging proximal restorations show that there are poor plaque index, bleeding gingival, probing pocket depth more than 3 mm and alveolar bone loss.
