Distribusi frekuensi keparahan penyakit periodontal penyintas COVID-19 dengan long covid dan non penyintas covid-19 : kajian pada data sekunder pasien klinik periodonti RSGM-P FKG Usakti tahun 2022
L atar Belakang: Beberapa penelitian menemukan bahwa terdapat persistensi berbagai gejala COVID-19 bahkan setelah pasien dinyatakan negatif pada tes PCR,fenomena ini dinamakan long COVID. Gejala long COVID dilaporkan muncul padarongga mulut, termasuk efeknya pada penyakit periodontal karena kedua penyakitini diketahui melepaskan sitokin proinflamasi yang serupa. Tujuan: Penelitian inibertujuan untuk mengetahui distribusi frekuensi keparahan penyakit periodontalpada penyintas COVID-19 dengan gejala long COVID dan non penyintas COVID-19. Metode: Data sekunder pasien RSGM-P FKG Universitas Trisakti (n=40) yangterdiri dari 20 sampel penyintas COVID-19 yang mengalami gejala long COVIDdan 20 sampel pasien non penyintas COVID-19 dipilih secara consecutive samplingsesuai dengan kriteria inklusi. Kemudian, data direkap dan diproses menjadilaporan penelitian. Hasil: Persentase distribusi gingivitis general tertinggi padapasien non penyintas COVID-19, sedangkan distribusi periodontitis generaltertinggi pada penyintas COVID-19 dengan long COVID. Berdasarkan metodestaging dan grading periodontitis, tidak ditemukan bahwa long COVID dapatmeningkatkan keparahan periodontitis. Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat peningkatandistribusi gingivitis pada penyintas dengan long COVID. Distribusi periodontitisgeneral meningkat pada penyintas dengan long COVID, namun tidak ditemukanbahwa terjadi peningkatan keparahan periodontitis berdasarkan metode staging dangrading periodontitis.
B ackground: Previous research studies have found the persistence of variousCOVID-19 symptoms even after tested negative on PCR test, this incident is laterknown as long COVID. These long COVID symptoms are reported to appear in theoral cavity, including its effect on periodontal disease as both release similarproinflammatory cytokines. Purpose: This study aims to determine periodontaldisease severity frequency distribution in COVID-19 survivors with long COVIDand COVID-19 nonsurvivors. Methods: Patient’s secondary data at thePeriodontics Clinic Faculty of Dentistry Trisakti University Dental Hospital (n=40)consisted of 20 samples from COVID-19 survivors who experienced long COVIDand 20 samples from the nonsurvivors group selected according to the inclusioncriteria. Afterward, the data was recapitulated and processed into a research report.Results: The distribution percentage of generalized gingivitis was highest innonsurvivors, while generalized periodontitis was highest in COVID-19 survivorswith long COVID. Based on periodontitis staging and grading methods, it is notproven that long COVID increases the severity of the periodontitis. Conclusion:There was no increase in the distribution of gingivitis in COVID-19 survivors withlong COVID. The distribution of general periodontitis increased in survivors withlong COVID. However, there was no increased severity of periodontitis based onthe staging and grading method of periodontitis in the COVID-19 survivors withlong COVID.
