Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterized by erythematous plaques and scales, with Koebner phenomenon and Auspitz sign. One of the trigger factors that contributes is infection. Periodontitis is an infection that occurs in periodontal tissue and can be one of the infection focus. This research aimed to determine the proportion of periodontitis in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and the correlation between psoriasis severity and periodontal pocket depth. This cross-sectional study was conducted in July-November 2017 in Dermatovenereology clinic of dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Jakarta. Anamnesis and physical examination of skin lesions were done by investigator, dental and oral examination were done by periodontist. Total of 34 subjects were examined with median age of 37.5 years (range 19-58 years old). The subjects consisted of 20 patients (58.8%) with mild psoriasis and 14 patients (41.2%) with moderate-severe psoriasis. The result showed 16 patients (47.1%) with periodontitis and 18 patients (52.9%) without periodontitis. Periodontitis was obtained in 8 patients (23.53%) in each group of mild and moderate-severe psoriasis. There was no statistically significant correlation between psoriasis severity and periodontal pocket depth (r = 0.126, p = 0.478). The results might be due to counfounding factors that affect both psoriasis severity and pocket depth.
