          Abstract

          Para este estudio se escogió una muestra probabilística de una población de adultos jóvenes cursantes de cuarto año de la carrera de odontología de la Facultad de Odontología de Rosario, Argentina. Los objetivos fueron: determinar la prevalencia de fumadores en este grupo poblacional y luego establecer el grado de eficacia en la higiene oral llevada a cabo por este grupo de estudiantes. En una primera etapa, para determinar la prevalencia de fumadores se tomaron 150 alumnos de cuarto año y mediante un cuestionario se indago sobre las características del hábito de fumar, en lo referente a edad de iniciación y a la cantidad de cigarrillos consumidos por día. En una segunda etapa, para determinar la eficacia de las medidas de higiene oral, los alumnos fueron seleccionados al azar, totalizando 61 individuos, de los cuales 32 no poseían el hábito de fumar y 29 sí lo hacían. El promedio de la edad de los no fumadores fue de 23 ± 2,109 años, y en el grupo de fumadores de 23,655 ± 1,913 años, no existiendo diferencia significativa. A cada individuo se le realizó el índice de higiene oral simplificado de Green - Vermillion con tinción. Todas las medidas fueron registradas por un examinador calibrado para evitar el sesgo interexaminador. El hábito de fumar fue cuestionado al final de la historia clínica para evitar la subjetividad del clínico. El índice de higiene oral asignado para cada grupo fue de 1,103 (lC 95% 0,344-1,861), correspondiente a los fumadores y 1,218 (lC 95% 0,245-2,191), correspondiente a los no fumadores. Con la confrontación de los datos y fijando el valor de p menor al 5% de error, concluimos que no hay diferencias significativas entre la acumulación de placa supragingival de uno y otro grupo y que la eficacia de la higiene oral entre adultos jóvenes fumadores y no fumadores estudiantes de odontología es semejante y aceptable. Este estudio sirve para determinar la prevalencia de fumadores en estudiantes del área de la salud y como avance para posteriores estudios de casos y controles que realizaremos en poblaciones semejantes, con el objeto de controlar la variable "higiene oral" como factor de confusión en el diseño etiológico causal que le corresponde al hábito de fumar.

          This study was carried out on a population of young adult dentistry students. The objectives were to determine the prevalence of smokers in this group and to establish the effectiveness of oral hygiene practices of this group of students. In a first stage, a group of students were asked about their smoking habits, initiating age and amount of cigarettes per day, in order to determine the prevalence of smokers. In a second stage, students were randomized selecting a total of 61 individuals, 32 of them didn't have smoking habits and 29 has it; in order to determine oral hygiene's effectiveness. The age average of non smokers was 23 ±2,109 years old, and of smokers 23,655 ± 1,913 year-old, not existing significant difference between them. Green & Vermillion simplified oral hygiene index was carried out to each student. AlI measures were registered by a gauged examiner to avoid the interexaminer mistake. Information on smoking habits was asked at the end of examination in order to avoid the subjectivity of the clinic examiner. The oral hygiene index assigned for each group was 1,103 (lC 95% 0,344-1,861) for smokers and 1,218 (lC 95% 0,245-2, 191) for non smokers. By confronting data and fixing p value <5%, we conclude that there are no significant differences between the accumulation of supragingival plaque in both groups, and the effectiveness of oral hygiene among young adult smokers and non smokers is similar and acceptable. This study determines smokers prevalence in health-area students, and Iike an advance for future "casecontrol" studies that we'lI carry out in similar populations, in order to control "oral hygiene" variable as a confusin factor in the etiologic causal design that corresponds to the smoking habit.

          Association between smoking different tobacco products and periodontal disease indexes.

          Six indexes of periodontal health were recorded in cigarette smokers, pipe/cigar smokers and nonsmokers from the Veterans Administration Dental Longitudinal Study. These indexes included calculus deposition, plaque accumulation, gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket depth, alveolar bone loss and tooth mobility. Cigarette smokers had significantly more calculus deposition than pipe/cigar smokers, although both smoker groups had more calculus than nonsmokers. Cigarette smokers accumulated slightly less plaque than pipe/cigar smokers, and both smoker groups accumulated less plaque than nonsmokers. Gingival inflammation and tooth mobility did not differ between smokers and nonsmokers, nor between the two smoker groups. Cigarette smokers had significantly greater pocket depth than nonsmokers, in contrast to pipe/cigar smokers who were not different from nonsmokers. Radiographic measurements indicated that cigarette smokers had significantly more alveolar bone loss than either pipe/cigar or nonsmokers. After covariance adjustment for age and calculus, all smokers had less plaque, gingival inflammation and tooth mobility than nonsmokers, similar periodontal pocket depth, but only cigarette smokers had greater bone loss. This finding of greater alveolar bone loss in cigarette smokers suggests a tobacco product-related effect in systemic physiologic action.

            Epidemiology of clinical attachment loss in adolescents.

            Relatively little is known about the prevalence, severity, and determinants of clinical attachment loss among adolescents. A multi-stage random sampling procedure was used to obtain a sample of 9,203 high school students aged 12 to 21 years from the Province of Santiago, Chile. All but 41 students were examined for clinical attachment loss in 6 sites of first and second molars and incisors. The students were interviewed with respect to tooth brushing habits, smoking habits, dental visits, and diabetic status. Logistic regression analyses were used to assess the relative strength of the associations between age, gender, smoking, tooth brushing habits, dental attendance patterns, diabetic status, and governmental school support and the occurrence of clinical attachment loss. Overall, clinical attachment loss > or = 1 mm was seen in 69.2% of the students; > or = 2 mm in 16% of the students; and > or = 3 mm in 4.5%. The distribution of clinical attachment loss was markedly skewed, but followed a continuum of disease severity. Logistic regression analyses showed that attachment loss was associated with higher age, female gender, infrequent tooth brushing, infrequent dental visits, and attending a high school receiving governmental support. No sharp distinction exists between periodontal health and disease among Chilean adolescents. Higher age, poor oral hygiene, and a lower socioeconomic background play a role in the occurrence of clinical attachment loss.

              Cigarette smoking and periodontal bone loss.

              The association between smoking and loss of periodontal bone height was investigated in Swedish dental hygienists. The study group included 210 subjects: 24 to 60 years of age, 30% smokers, 32% former smokers, and 38% non-smokers. The study was based on bite-wing radiographs, where loss of the interproximal bone height was measured as the distance from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to the interdental septum (IS). The magnitude of the CEJ-IS distance was read at 12 sites, representing 3 maxillary and 3 mandibular bone septa in each subject. The CEJ-IS distance was significantly greater for smokers when compared to non-smokers, mean +/- SEM 1.71 +/- 0.08 mm and 1.45 +/- 0.04 mm, respectively. The mean +/- SEM for former smokers was 1.55 +/- 0.05 mm. In smokers, the CEJ-IS distance increased with increased smoking exposure. The results, based on adults with good oral hygiene, suggest that loss of periodontal bone is related to smoking. The smoking related bone loss is not correlated with plaque infection.
