and periodontal disease based on CPITN were
recorded and compared to data from the Heart
Preventive Clinic regarding smoking habits
submitted by the subjects at time of examination.
Edentulousness was more common in the rural area
than in the urban counterpart.
In general smokers had fewer remaining teeth and
were more often edentulous than non-smokers.
Decayed teeth were more common among men,
but women had more fillings. Decayed teeth were
significantly more common among the smokers
than the non-smokers regardless of sex, and the
smokers of both sexes had fewer fillings.
When CPITN was compared significant differences
were found between smokers and non smokers.
The percentage of non-smokers of both sexes, who
had »0« as the highest score, i.e. were free of
periodontal disease, was almost twice as high as
that for the smokers (P<0.01).
Statistically significant difference was also found
as men-smokers showing 3 as a highest score
(pockets 4-5mm), where more common than their
non-smoking counterparts (P<0.05) (table IV).
For women this difference was not statistically
significant.
The average number of healthy sextants was 60-
70% higher among non-smokers than smokers of
both sexes (P<0.001) (table V).
Smokers were in greater need for periodontal
treatment than non-smokers (P<0.01 both sexes).
