    Background: Inflammation of periodontal tissues may contribute to different systemic diseases and conditions. Similarly, system ic diseases may influence periodontal tissues. The aim of our ... epidemiological study was to evaluate the prevalence of systemic diseases and use of medication in patients referred forperiodontal treatment. Material and methods: ln 252 randomly selected patients referred to the Department of Oral Medicine and Periodontology, Division of Stomatology, University Medical Centre Ljubljana, we evaluated theprevalence of systemic diseases and use of medication, and examined the correlation of these two parameters with the patients' periodontal treatment needs. Systemic diseases were c1assified according to the International Classification of Diseases, and drugs were classified according to the national Drug Register. Periodontal treatment needs were assessed using the Community Periodontallndex of Treatment Needs. Results: We found that 62 per cent of the patients referred for periodontal treatment suffered from one or more systemic diseases, and 25 per ce nt were using medication. Both the prevalence of systemic diseases and use of medication were higher in patients with advanced periodontal disease requiring complex periodontal surgical treatment. Conclusion: Since our population is ageing, the rates of system ic diseases and use of medication are expected to increase. Therefore it is essential for dentists (periodontists) to obtain a detailed medical history.
