Cigarette smoking as risk
factor in chronic periodontal disease.
Bergstrom J.
Department of Periodontology, Karolinska
Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Patients admitted to the School of Dentistry, Stockholm, for treatment of chronic periodontal disease during the years
1980-82 were retrospectively investigated with respect to their smoking habits.
The investigation was designed as a case control study and covered all patients
30, 40, or 50 yr of age upon admission, in all 155. As control served a random
sample of the Stockholm population. The periodontal variables under scrutiny were frequency
of periodontally diseased teeth, frequency of periodontally diseased sites (probing depth greater than 4
mm), gingival index, and plaque index. The overall occurrence rate of smokers
in the sample of cases was 56%, which is significantly greater than the
population at large. This held true for all three age cohorts and for men as
well as women. The risk ratio was 2.5, indicating more prevalent disease among
smokers. Further, significantly greater frequencies of periodontally
involved teeth and diseased sites were found in smokers, indicating more severe
disease among smokers. Gingival index and plaque index did not notably differ
between smoking groups. The results suggest increased prevalence as well as
severity in smokers. Smoking, therefore, should be considered a risk factor for
chronic periodontal disease.
