The effects of methamphetamine on dental caries have been well documented. Little, however, is known about its effects on the periodontium. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease in an urban population of HIV-positive methamphetamine users. This cross-sectional survey was conducted in one of the most populous urban areas of Los Angeles County beset with high rates of methamphetamine use. Participants were recruited by a combination of street outreach methods, referral from drug treatment centers and word of mouth. Participants were eligible if they were over 18 years of age, spoke English or Spanish, used methamphetamine in the past 30 days, were willing to undergo a dental examination and psychosocial assessments and were willing to provide a urine sample. Periodontal assessments were completed on 541 participants by three trained and calibrated dentists. The prevalence and severity of periodontal disease was extremely high in this population of HIV-positive and negative methamphetamine users. Cigarette smoking and age were identified as risk factors. The HIV-positive and -negative cohorts were remarkably similar suggesting that their lifestyle contributed more to their destructive periodontal disease than methamphetamine use. Methamphetamine users are at high risk for destructive periodontal disease and badly broken-down teeth. The clinician should plan accordingly for timely patient management knowing that methamphetamine users have extensive periodontal and restorative treatment needs.
