Abstract:

It is a research involving the detrimental effect of smoking on the progression of periodontal disease with age. Data has been collected by itself for the last 6 years and categorized it with different parameters such as sex, age groups, smokers as well as non smokers, onset and frequency of smoking such as 1-10, 10-20 cigarettes a day. 647 cases have been studied so far, which gives the detailed results how smoking effects the wound healing and has an additive effect on progression of disease. Outcome and results have been matched with the various hypotheses. Frequency of smoking is directly proportional to the severity of disease throughout the studies but in age group 45-55, there is no significant rise in periodontal probing depth in women with increase in frequency of smoking. Periodontal examination of patients with a healthy periodontium and chronic periodontal disease were performed and saline rinses of 30ml were collected before instrumentation. 33 cases have been found without karatosis but increased periodontal depth. Delayed healing and infection have been seen in post surgical periods after implants in smokers. Data from Age Group between 25-45 years tells about the Patients who smoke have approximately twice the chance of having periodontal disease than non smokers. Xerostomia has been commonly found in almost all cases of smoking. So far, data has been recorded for almost 650 cases and our target is more than 1000 cases.
