dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to investigate the level of awareness regarding the effect of systemic diseases on periodontal diseases among individuals with systemic diseases. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out on 200 patients with systemic diseases (100 men, 100 women; age, 18-65 years) who presented to the internal medicine, rheumatology, and cardiology departments and oral health polyclinics. A questionnaire including 15 questions about personal information, socio-demographic characteristics and level of awareness about periodontal diseases was administered to the participants. They were asked to select among the three responses, Agree, Disagree or Undecided, for each statement. Results: This study found that the level of knowledge of approximately 68% of the participants regarding the relationship between systemic diseases and periodontal diseases was not sufficient, and their level of awareness was significantly low. The level of knowledge was significantly affected by educational level, frequency of tooth brushing and previous oral hygiene education (p<0.05). Conclusion: Periodontal diseases are in Two-way interaction with some systemic diseases. An increase in the level of knowledge will positively affect the course of the disease and will improve the quality of life. Therefore, patients with systemic diseases should be given oral hygiene training in both primary health care centres and oral health centres.en_US
