Peri-implant clinical profile and subgingival yeasts carriage among cigarette-smokers with peri-implant mucositis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present observational clinical investigation is based on the hypothesis that subgingival yeast carriage (SYC) is higher in cigarette-smokers with peri-implant mucositis (PM) than non-smokers with and without PM.

Objective

The aim was to assess peri-implant clinical profile and SYC among cigarette-smokers with PM.

Methodology

Participants were divided into four groups: Group-1-Cigarette-smokers with PM; Group-2-Cigarette-smokers without PM; Group-3-Non-smokers with PM; and Group-4-Non-smokers without PM. Information on duration and daily frequency of cigarette smoking (pack years), age, gender, familial history of smoking and most recent visit to a dentist and/or dental hygienist was collected. The following information was retrieved from healthcare reco
