Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between some sociodemographic factors and mental status with oral condition in institutionalized elderly people from Bucaramanga and metropolitan area.
Material and Methods: The group of patients studied were 284, the mean age of the patients was 77.7± 8.8 yr, 45% were female and 55% men. Cognitive function was measure with mini-mental and geriatric depression scale established a depression level. Oral condition was evaluated for another research group of Santo Tomas University who worked simultaneously.
Results: DMFT Index≥23, Root Caries Index≥80, CPITN≥2 and edentulism were the most prevalent conditions, 88.4%, 55.2%, 84.8% and 55% respectively. We found a mental impaired of 38%, mild depression 40.3% and moderate depression 15%. Mental impairment was associated with a periodontal condition from mild to severe OR 8.96, IC 95% (0.72-111.7) (P=0.10).
Conclusions: Even no significance statistic was found to oral indicator, is important to consider mental condition like a potential risk factor to poor oral hygiene (Plaque Index≥2), RCI≥80 and CPITN≥2. Besides that, the mental condition was no associated with total edentulism in this study, is necessary to value elderly person to determine how social and culture factors, functional skills, sensorial faculties and mental condition operate on oral health and welfare.
