Smoking is associated with significantly increased risk of diseases of organs and tissues of the oral cavity, especially periodontal pathology and cancer of the mouth.
The aim of the study – to investigate the prevalence, structure and clinical course of periodontal tissue diseases in people prone to regular active smoking.
Materials and Methods. A study of 120 visitors who had undergone preventive examinations in the Clinic of Zbarazh Central District Municipal Hospital exposed to regular active smoking was performed. To assess the degree of inflammation in periodontal tissues we used marginally-papillary-alveolar index, periodontal index, the Green-Vermilyon index.
Results and Discussion. Dental examination of persons exposed to regular active smoking, revealed periodontal disease in 102 individuals (85.0 %), intact periodont – 18 persons (15.0 %). At the same time, investigation of 30 control individuals showed periodontal disease in 12 persons (40.0 %), clinically healthy periodontal tissue – in 18 persons (60.0 %). PMA index of individuals exposed to regular active smoking, treated as severe gingivitis and was significantly higher than data of the control group in 2.5 times. Average numerical values of periodontal index in patients exposed to regular active smoking answered moderate periodontitis and significantly were higher than data of the control group in 4 times. Oral hygiene status in 62 % of those exposed to regular active smoking, was poor, 7 % – very poor, 22 % – satisfactory, 9 % – good. Average numerical values of Green-Vermilyon index in smokers was significantly higher than data of the control group in 3.1 times.
Conclusions. Thus, smoking contributes to increasing of diffuse periodontal diseases and deepening of pathological process.
