| Summary: |
Background: Smoking has been identified as a significant risk factor for periodontal
diseases and is regarded as being responsible for incomplete or delayed healing in
patients following treatment.
Aim and Method: The aim of this conventional review was to review, collate and
tabulate the relative effectiveness of treatments of chronic periodontitis in smokers,
non-smokers and ex-smokers.
Observations: The majority of clinical trials show significantly greater reductions in
probing depths and bleeding on probing, and significantly greater gain of clinical
attachment following non-surgical and surgical treatments in non-smokers compared
with smokers. This benefit is also seen at class I and II furcation sites and in patients
prescribed systemic or local antimicrobial treatments.
Conclusions: Data from epidemiological, cross-sectional and case–control studies
strongly suggest that quitting smoking is beneficial to patients following periodontal
treatments. The periodontal status of ex-smokers following treatment suggests that
quitting the habit is beneficial although there are only limited data from long-term
longitudinal clinical trials to demonstrate unequivocally the periodontal benefit of
quitting smoking. |
