Abstract EN
Back ground : Periodontal diseases are serious infections that, if left untreated, may lead to tooth loss.
The value of the CPITN is that it permits rapid examination of a population to determine periodontal treatment needs..
Material and methods : A periodontal health survey, using the WHO methodology (1997), was conducted among 906 subjects ; of those 466 were females and 440 were males, with age range 15-54 years of old.
The selection was done randomly among people living in AL- Anbar Governorate.
.
By using of WHO periodontal probes, the community periodontal index (CPI), the treatment needs (TN) were measured for each subject.
The number of lost permanent teeth was also recorded.
Results : The males were found to have worse periodontal conditions than females and a significant age difference was present.
All subjects had experienced periodontal disease where gingival bleeding was 12.8%, calculus 24.6%, shallow pocket of 4-5 mm 23.5%, and deep pocket of 6mm or more 6.5%, respectively.
Almost all subjects of this populations needed oral hygiene instructions, scaling and / or removal of overhangs (TNO, TN1, TN2) and 12.8% of them needed complex periodontal treatment (TN3).
The mean number of lost permanent teeth was higher in females than in males, and increased with age.
