Movilidad dental asociada a pacientes fumadores y no fumadores con enfermedad periodontal, Clínica UCSG B-2018.

Abstract

Introduction: Smoking is one of the risk factors most associated with the development of periodontal disease, increases the frequency of bone margin loss and the presence of dental mobility. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental mobility in smokers and non-smokers with periodontal disease at the UCSG Dental Clinic. Material and methods: A clinical, radiographic, cross-sectional study with a descriptive, analytical and observational design was carried out. Samples were obtained from 104 male and female patients over 18 years of age, 51 smokers and 53 non-smokers, who underwent a clinical practice in the Lobene gingival index, simplified oral hygiene, Miller recommendations index, dental mobility of Miller and radiographic determination of the bony margin. Results: In this study, 104 patients, 57 women and 47 men were evaluated. In relation to smoking, 53 patients (50.96%) denied being smokers, while 51 patients accepted active smoking (49.04%), among them 35 men (68.62%) and 16 women (31, 38%). The group of smokers presented a higher percentage of DM Grade 1 with 175 teeth (20%), while in the non-smoking group it was 98 teeth (17%). Conclusions: The probability of dental mobility does increase in smokers, with Grade 1 dental mobility having a higher percentage compared to the group of non-smokers, so we can say that there is a direct relationship between smoking and dental mobility.
