Periodontal status of candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Special Care in Dentistry 2017 July
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the periodontal profile of -candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
METHODS: This cross-sectional prospective study was performed from March 2014 to March 2015. After an initial interview, eligible individuals were evaluated by the following clinical parameters: visible plaque, bleeding on probing, probing depth, and clinical attachment level at six sites per tooth, excluding third molars.
RESULTS: Thirty-six candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) were clinically assessed. Eight (22%) patients were diagnosed with gingivitis and 21 (58%) of them with periodontitis. The gingival bleeding was statistically correlated with the percentage of sites with visible plaque (p < 0.0001; r = 0.630) and did not correlate with the number of platelets (p = 0.643, r = -0.082).
CONCLUSIONS: The candidates for allogeneic HSCT studied showed a high prevalence of periodontal diseases with unmonitored local infection before transplantation.
