- Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between periodontitis and smoking in patients admitted to a dental care hospital. Study design: A cross-sectional comparative study. Location and duration: In the Dental department of Services Hospital, Lahore for six month duration from January 2018 to June 2018. Methods: A total of 200 patients (100 non-smokers and 100 smokers) were included in the study. The subjects were evaluated clinically by determining the depth of catheterization, dental mobility, clinical attachment level (CAL) and the role of bifurcation between the two groups. Results: There was a significant relationship between smoking and periodontitis. In smokers, the average detection depth was found to be 3.56, the mean for non-smokers were 3.09. The average mobility of tooth in nonsmokers and smokers was 0.31 and 0.18 in non-smokers. Conclusion: There was a remarkable relationship between periodontitis and smoking. The analysis results show that smokers have more extensive clinical attachment level, increase depth of probing, more dental mobility and furcation disorder in smokers. Key words: smoking, periodontitis, clinical location, probing depth, dental mobility.
