Periodontal disease is more prevalent and more severe in smokers than in nonsmokers. The host response in smokers is altered by a number of factors including increased gingival crevicular fluid, adhesion molecules and genetics. In addition, smokers are poor healers compared to nonsmokers and their response to periodontal therapy can be compromised which can result in continued progression of periodontal disease, or the need for more treatment.
The overall goal of this presentation is to provide the clinician with information on periodontal disease and its treatment in smokers. Following this presentation, the participant should be able to do the following:
- List the categories of periodontal disease
- List and describe the prevalence of periodontal disease in smokers and nonsmokers
- List and describe the differences in the smoker’s host response in periodontal disease
- List and describe the risk factors for peri-implantitis
- List and describe the smoker’s response to periodontal treatment and possible treatment options
