Abstract
Te diversity approach in health focuses on recognizing and paying special attention to the different interests, demands, needs and health-disease processes specifc to certain people. Ethnic-racial considerations in these cases become fundamental. In Uruguay, census data show that 8.1% of the population (approximately 255,000 people) consider themselves Afrodescendants, which makes them the main ethnic-racial minority of the country. To date, there are no surveys on the periodontal condition of Afrodescendant population in our country. Objective: to evaluate the oral and periodontal status of patients through health-disease process indicators. Materials and methods: descriptive, cross-sectional study of the Afro Uruguayan population. Inclusion criteria: age range from 15 to 35, living in Montevideo. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, having received periodontal treatment or treatment with antibiotics in the last 6 months. The size of each population sample with or without African origin was of 40 individuals each, half men, half women. Te Rediente Clinical History was used, the periodontal parameters were recorded using a periodontal probe calibrated by millimeter, and six sites per tooth were examined in a full mouth. Results: the
group of Afrodescendants have one less tooth, on average, than non-Afrodescendants, especially the frst mandibular molars. Tey also show higher prevalence, depth and severity of attachment loss compared to the control group. No statistically signifcant differences were found in probing depth between the two groups. Conclusions: Afrodescendants became part of the popular sectors of society, which makes them more vulnerable. In the age range considered (15-35), Afrodescendants have higher prevalence, extension and severity of clinical attachment loss than non-Afrodescendants. No statistically signifcant differences were found in the considered age range regarding probing depth in the populations examined.
