Background: This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the frequency of systemic disease, periodontal status and individual habits of 1800 patients, who underwent initial periodontal treatments in the student clinic of Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Periodontology. Methods: The demographic characteristics, complaints, systemic status, smoking, bruxism, mouth breathing and periodontal clinical parameters, which were previously recorded in the patient forms, were evaluated in this study. Patients were diagnosed as gingivitis (G), chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP). Clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index and bleeding on probing), presence of systemic disease (such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases) and individual habits were compared between the groups. Statistical analyses were performed via SPSS 23.0 program. Results: The average age with its standard deviation of the study population (59.5% female, 40.5% male) was 29.48±11.75. It was determined that 70.8%, 28.7% and 0.5% of the patients were G, CP and AgP, respectively. The prevalence of smoking was higher in males (p<0.001) than females. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease frequencies did not differ along gender (p>0.05), while the frequency of thyroid diseases and allergy were higher in females than males (p<0.001). The CP patients had increased prevalence of smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular (p<0.001) and thyroid diseases (p<0.05). The results of multinominal logistic regression analysis demonstrated that variables such as age, smoking, presence of systemic disease and hypertension increased the probability of developing periodontitis. Conclusion: Within the limit of this study, it may be concluded that systemic conditions and individual habits may have essential role in periodontal condition.
