Journal Title: Pomeranian Journal of Life Sciences - Year 2010, Vol 56, Issue 2

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the work was to qualify the influence of cotinine and 3’hydroxycotinine as the main metabolites of nicotine, on the course and degree of chronic periodontitis advancement, according to clinical parameters of the perio dontium condition among generally healthy heavy smoking adults. Material and methods: The study covered two groups of adult patients with periodontitis. One group with tobacco dependence and one group of never smoking patients. Results and conclusions: Received results of studies were subjected to statistical analysis by using a computer software Statistica Pl version 7.1. Investigations have shown characteristic both clinical and statistical differences including a correlation between the measured average value indicators among the smokers as well as non-smokers with chronic periodontitis. The research revealed a positive correlation in the number of retained teeth with the number of lost teeth and smoking. In the group of smokers the percent of retained teeth was greatly lower, however, the percent of lost teeth much higher in comparison to the group of nonsmokers. The level of hygiene was comparable in both groups, but the lesions were more intense in smokers. Hence, taking into account the level of hygiene, the habit of smoking had an independent effect on the advancement degree of periodontitis. Among the smokers a significant fewer percent was noticed of bleeding sites during the probing of the depth of pockets despite a comparable hygiene level. The advancement of destructive lesions of periodontal tissues remains in correlation with the habit of smoking tobacco. The studies confirm a greater destruction of the alveolar bone, bigger probing attachment loss and a higher percent of teeth indicating mobility as well as furcation among heavy smokers.
