Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
To examine and compare the bacterial load from periodontal pockets in smokers and non-smokers. Our study included 77 people, which presented cronical periodontitis, with no less then 2 periodontal pockets of 4mm depth or more. The members of the study were divided in two groups, one of 43 smokers, and the other of 35 non-smokers. The length of atachment loss PA and probing depth PD were measured. The bacterial load of periodontal pockets was examined. The technique used was PCR- polymeraze chain reaction which in this case permited the evaluation of eleven periodontal pathogens. Values for bacterial prevalence were obtained for PD = 4, 5, 6, 7mm. Raised values of prevalence both in smokers and nonsmokers were found for Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum şi Treponema denticola. Campylobacter rectus and Eubacterium nodatum were a little higher in nonsmokers but with statistical unsignifiant values. Tannerella forsythia had increased values in smokers.
