Abstract

There are some common fungi found in the oral cavity. Epidemiological studies indicate higher risk for periodontal disease in smokers vis a vis non-smokers. The increased risk is proportional to the length and frequency of smoking. This is an important area of public health research. In our study we found fungi to be present significantly more in oral cavity of smokers as compared to non-smokers.
