INTRODUCTION: Very little is known about the hard to reach tribal communities in
India and one such community is a primitive hidden and isolated tribe group of
Bharia people in Patalkot. Their health problems need special attention as they
have very limited access to health care. The aim of this study is to assess the
oral hygiene and periodontal status in the primitive tribe group of Bharias in
Patalkot, Madhya Pradesh, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A descriptive
cross-sectional study was undertaken with sample size of 462 patients. The sample
was selected using simple random technique. A predefined pro forma was used to
record information about oral hygiene practices and tobacco-related habits. Oral
Hygiene Index-simplified (OHI-S), Community Periodontal Index (CPI), and loss of
attachment (LOA) were used to assess oral hygiene and periodontal status,
respectively. RESULTS: The prevalence of periodontal disease based on CPI scores
showed that 35.4 % had periodontal pocket > 6mm. It was also found that 27.9%
people had attachment loss of 6-8mm. Mean Debris Index-simplified, Calculus
Index-simplified, and OHI-S for the participants were 1.59 ± 0.73, 0.99 ± 0.70,
and 2.56 ± 1.36, respectively. Poor oral hygiene status was found in 36.3% of
Bharias. CONCLUSION: Higher prevalence of periodontal diseases and poor oral
hygiene status in Bharia people can be attributed mainly to their difficult
terrain, isolation, very low literacy level, socioeconomic status, and cultural
practices.
