Summary: | Tokyo Dental College Ichikawa general hospital investigated the conditions of diabetic patients jointly with three departments : internal medicine, dentistry, and ophthalmology. We observed how the dental hygienist had to intervene in response to the situation of oral hygiene for over 65 years old diabetics.The subjects comprised 43 patients with a dentulous jaw (male : 20, female : 23, average age : 69.2 years old) among the 142 diabetic patients who visited the internal medicine department of our hospital and were approved to visit our department over a period of one year, between November 2007 and October 2008.There were ten examination items : gender, age, duration of diabetes, presence of retinopathy, treatment method of diabetes, HbA1c, degree of alveolar bone absorption, present teeth, PCR, and BOP.Among these items, here we focus on age, PCR, BOP, the number of present teeth, and HbA1c.Investigation of the relationships between age and PCR, BOP, and the number of present teeth showed a positive correlation between age and PCR as well as BOP. In addition, the number of present teeth was the highest among subjects aged 70~74 years, and tended to decrease from 75 years of age. No correlation was observed between HbA1c and PCR, BOP, and the number of present teeth.Since a correlation was observed between age and the state of oral hygiene but not between the state of diabetes and the state of oral hygiene, oral hygiene instructions given by dental hygienists were considered important for elderly individuals regardless of whether they have diabetes.
東京歯科大学市川総合病院 (以下当院) では, 内科, 歯科·口腔外科 (以下当科), 眼科の3科が共同で, 糖尿病患者の状態把握を行う合同調査を開始した。その結果から, 65歳以上の糖尿病患者の口腔衛生状態を調査し, 歯科衛生士がどのように介入すべきか検討を行った。対象は, 平成19年11月から平成20年10月までの1年間に, 当院内科を受診し, 当科の受診に了承された糖尿病患者142名のうち, 65歳以上の有歯顎者43名 (男性20名, 女性23名, 平均年齢69.2歳) とした。診査内容は性別, 年齢, 糖尿病の罹患期間, 網膜症の有無, 糖尿病の治療方法, HbA1c, 歯槽骨吸収程度, 現在歯数, PCR, BOPの10項目である。網膜症は, 糖尿病合併症のうち, 早期に症状が現れるため, 眼科医と協力し診査内容に含めた。今回, これらの診査内容から, 年齢, PCR, BOP, 現在歯数, HbA1cの5項目に着目し検討を行った。年齢とPCR, BOP, 現在歯数の検討を行った結果, 年齢が高い程, PCRとBOPの値は高い傾向を示し, 相関性を認めた。また, 現在歯数は70~74歳で最も多く, 75歳以上では減少傾向を示した。HbA1cとPCR, BOP, 現在歯数の検討を行った結果, 相関性は認められなかった。年齢と口腔衛生状態には相関性が認められ, 糖尿病の病態と口腔衛生状態に相関性は認められなかったことから, 糖尿病罹患の有無にかかわらず, 高齢者の増齢に伴い歯科衛生士による口腔衛生指導が重要であると考えられた。 |
