Objective: To investigate the periodontal conditions of
institutionalized and non-institutionalized elderly patients in philanthropic
and private institutions. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of
128 elderly (94 non-institutionalized elderly and 34 institutionalized elderly)
conducted using a clinical form based on the SB Brazil Project 2010. Statistical
analysis was performed using Factor Analysis, the Mann-Whitney Test and the Qui-squared
test. Results: The periodontal conditions of the elderly patients worsened
with time, regardless of their housing situation, even with the reduction of
the percentage of sextants with periodontal clinical parameters. The worsening
of the advanced periodontal disease factor was associated with the variables;
housing status, diabetes, and cognitive capacity. Conclusion: It should
be emphasized that, currently, the elderly have more teeth in their mouths and
consequently greater susceptibility to periodontal disease, in contrast to those
who have already lost their teeth due to periodontal disease.
