The sociological approaches to the analysis of risk factors of development of periodontitis in adult population

Until now, the modernization of stomatological service in the Russian Federation is not considered as one of priority areas of the Nation project "Health". Besides, nowadays the population suffers from the higher level of propagation of major stomatological diseases, periodontitis included. Meanwhile, the application of sociological tools to investigate the issues of etiology and pathogenesis are not used on regular basis in stomatology. The novelty of actual study is in combining the questionnaire technique with profound periodontics examination and subsequent statistical processing of primary data. This approach permits to rank the characteristics with equal absolute values of ranking order correlation coefficients. The technique of coefficients of slanting line linear regression was applied. The aforementioned technique permitted to conclude that in adult population the pull of risk factors of periodontitis development includes such heterogeneous characteristics as height, body mass, tobacco smoking, cold diseases, type of occlusion, cheap food diet, indifference to sweet and centralized water supply. The developed approaches make it possible to apply expertise assessment of paradontologic health as a reference mark for grouping extensive sociological data.
