Methods: A cross-sectional study that included 100 consecutive RA patients (89% female, mean age 46.7 ± 11.7 years). For each patient, we recorded oral symptoms, oral hygiene status and role of rheumatologist in information on the oral hygiene status. Factors associated with regular brushing (≥2/day) were also analysed. Results: Median disease duration was 8 years (4;2). Dental pain was reported by 74% of patients and bleeding by 51% of them. Regular brushing was noted in 45% of patients. The use of a correct brushing method was noted in 14% of cases. Two patients reported visiting a dentist regularly. Information explaining that poor oral hygiene has a negative impact on RA was delivered by rheumatologist to 11 patients. Regular brushing of teeth was recommended by rheumatologist to 8 patients and 10 patients were advised by their rheumatologist to consult a dentist. Regular brushing was more important in women (48,3% vs 18,2%; p=0.05) and in the literate patients (57,6 vs 31,2%, p<0.01). No association was found between regular brushing, Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) and health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Conclusion: This study illustrates bad oral hygiene status in RA patients, which seems more important in men and illiterate patients. It also highlights poor information given by the rheumatologist.Saloua AfilalHanan RkainAfaf AllaouiSafaa FellousJihad Moulay BerkchiFatima Zahrae TaikIlham AachariLatifa TahiriNada AlamiOumKeltoum EnnibiNajia Hajjaj-HassouniFadoua AllaliPCO Convin S.A.articlerheumatoid arthritisjoint diseaseoral hygienebrushingDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENMediterranean Journal of Rheumatology, Vol 32, Iss 3, Pp 249-255 (2021) |
