Avaliação clínica do crescimento gengival em pacientes sob terapia com nifedipina /

Sousa, Cliciane Portela. January 2002 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Regina Sposto / Banca: Cláudia Maria Navarro / Banca: Enilson Antônio Sallum / Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a prevalência e severidade do crescimento gengival em pacientes brasileiros sob terapia com nifedipina, por meio do uso do "Novo Índice Clínico para Crescimento Gengival Induzido por Drogas(Índice DIGO)". O estudo foi realizado em 35 pacientes sob terapia com nifedipina (grupo teste ) e em um grupo controle de 35 pacientes. Foram feitos os registros das variáveis demográficas (idade e sexo do paciente), farmacológicas (dose e tempo de uso da nifedipina) e das variáveis periodontais (índice de placa, índice gengival, profundidade de sondagem, nível de inserção clínico, sangramento à sondagem) e do crescimento gengival. O teste Z (nível de significância a 5% e p<0.05) e a correlação de Spearman foram usados para a comparação dos resultados entre os grupos teste e controle. Os resultados mostraram que o crescimento gengival foi observado em 68% dos pacientes e que não houve associação entre o crescimento gengival e as variáveis demográficas e as variáveis farmacológicas. No entanto, houve associação entre o crescimento gengival e as variáveis periodontais, exceto para o índice de placa. Podemos concluir que a inflamação gengival apresentou influência no crescimento gengival associado à nifedipina. / Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of nifedipine induced GO in patients and the risk factors associated using a New Clinical Index for Drug Induced Gingival Overgrowth (DIGO) and the relation between The study was carried out with 35 patients under treatment with nifedipine (test group) and 35 patients without treatment (control group). There was assessed the characteristics of demographic (age, gender), pharmacological (dose, time of use), periodontal variables (plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, attachment level, bleeding on probing) and gingival overgrowth of the sample. The test Z (significance level at 5% - p< 0.05) and the Spearman correlation were used to compare data in test and control groups. Gingival overgrowth was noticed in 68% of patients. The statistical analyses showed no association between the gingival overgrowth and demographic and pharmacological variables, except for the plaque index. However, there was an association between the gingival overgrowth and periodontal variables. Further, it is possible to conclude that the presence of gingival inflammation was the main factor of risk to promote nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth. / Mestre
