Abstract

Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate, through literature review, clinical aspects (plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, gingival recession and clinical attachment level) and microbiological (qualitative and quantitative presence of periodontal pathogens) in smokers patients and the response to periodontal therapy. Material and Methods: it was selected scientific articles published between the years 1978 and 2014. We were selected scientific articles from MEDLINE, PUBMED and
 LILACS databases. Results: there are controversies between tobacco and clinical and microbiological parameters. Conclusion: based on the evaluated studies we can conclude that there are significant clinical and microbiological differences in smoking patients and impaired response to periodontal therapy.

Highlights

  • Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate, through literature review, clinical aspects and microbiological in smokers patients and the response to periodontal therapy

  • Fumantes demonstraram níveis significativamente maiores de Treponema denticola (14%), Bacteroides forsythus (7%) e Fusobacterium nucleatum (7%), contra os respectivos valores 10%, 1% e 2% de não fumantes

  • Enquanto alguns autores não são favoráveis à recomendação da terapia fotodinâmica em pacientes fumantes como terapia coadjuvante, como Ruhling et al.[40] e Polansky et al.,[41] outros concluem que a associação das terapêuticas contribui positivamente ao aumento dos níveis clínicos de inserção e na redução da profundidade de sondagem

Summary

Introduction

Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate, through literature review, clinical aspects (plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, gingival recession and clinical attachment level) and microbiological (qualitative and quantitative presence of periodontal pathogens) in smokers patients and the response to periodontal therapy. Chen et al.[18] estudaram o número médio de sítios por pessoa, no qual houve piora em relação à profundidade de sondagem e perda de inserção ao longo de 10 anos, sendo que os tabagistas tiveram piora de 1,5 mm de profundidade de sondagem em comparação com os não fumantes que apresentaram 1,4 mm, sem diferença significativa.
