Abstract

The effect of smoking on the human body is multifactorial, due to chemical carcinogens, ionizing radiation, thermal, toxic, irritating and general resorption action. Thus, the question of studying the effect of smoking on the condition of periodontal tissues in teenagers and young adults is relevant. Purpose - to study the effect of harmful smoking habits on the condition of periodontal tissues in teenagers and young adults. Materials and methods.

The prevalence of periodontal diseases, OHI-S index, PMA index, PBI index was established. Results. It was found that the prevalence of periodontal disease averaged 72.36%. In the subjects of group I - the OHI-S index was equal to 1.77±0.02 points, in the subjects of group II - 1.53±0.01 points, in the subjects of group III - 1.46±0.02 points, in the subjects of group IV groups - 0.87±0.03 points. In persons of group I the value of the PMA index was 38.6±3.26%, in persons of group II - 33.7±2.52%, in persons of group III - 31.6±1.84%, in persons of group IV - 22.8±2.73%. The bleeding index of PBI in persons of group I was 1.18±0.02 points, in persons of group II - 1.43±0.03 points, in persons of group III - 1.39±0.02 points, in persons of group IV - 1.27±0.01 points.
