Predicting probing depth reduction after periodontal non-surgical treatment in smokers according to the nicotine dependence and the number of cigarette consumed.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Smoking is considered as a risk factor for the poor outcomes after periodontitis non-surgical treatment (PNST). The aim of this short communication is to predict probing depth reduction after periodontal non-surgical treatment in smokers according to the nicotine dependence (FTND) and the number of cigarette consumed (NCC).

Methods

This work is a post-hoc study of a prospective controlled study on the effect of oral hygiene instructions and PNST on periodontal outcomes. This short communication focused only on the current conventional smokers (N = 34), based on specific smoking indicators, and on probing depth (PD) parameter that were recorded at baseline (time 0), after oral hygiene instruction (time 1) and 3 months after PNST (time 2).
