Abstract EN
Background : the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of over weight on the initiation of gingival inflammation compared to normal weight subjects on mankind.
Material and methods : thirty six adult male, aged 20-30 years, systemically proved as healthy, sub-grouped in three, twelve in each, as normal weight, pre-obese and obese according to BMI index.
All have been subjected to a vigorous oral hygiene control up to getting as low as possible full mouth Plaque and Gingival scores (PL.I = less than 0.3 and G.I.
less than 0.2).taken as Base line records.
Subjects have been advised to continue their usual life-style, withdrawing the daily brushing, and to be subjected to a weekly oral examination up to getting a clinically visible gingivitis, then re-establishing the oral hygiene to watch the improvement of gingival lesion under the influence of overweight.
Results : showed a significant increase of PL.I for the three groups in first week.
A positive significant difference in favor of obese and Pre-obese, But it was insignificant between Pre-obese and Obese.
Identical results were obtained in G.I.
scores.
Bacteriologic findings showed significant increase of pseudomonades species in obese group.
Conclusions: Results suggested great influences of Over-weight on plaque accumulation and thus facilitate the virulent bacterial invasion and disease acceleration, daily oral hygiene control is a successful preventive measures regardless the body weight.
