Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Special Edition KPPIKG XIV: 321-324Most studies reported that tobacco negatively affect periodontal tissue, although some authors have to demonstrate such relationship. Those studies were done mostly with subjects smoking white cigarette. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between periodontal disease and type of kretek smokers and the risk between filtered and non filtered smokers on the periodiodontal diseases. Smokers subjects were 227 healthy man smokers aged 20-27 years, who lived in the condominium of Cilincing. Cross sectional study was designed using questionnaire. A pressure-controlled periodontal probe for assessing the Plaque Index (PI), Bleeding on Probing (BOP), Probing Attachment Level (PAL) and Pocket Depth (PD) for teeth (6 sites for tooth) except the third molar. The periodontal disease was define as PAL> 6 mm. The results showed that there was no significant differences between filtered smoking and non-filtered smoking with clove cigarette on the periodontal disease measured by BOP (p=0.265). The Prevalence Ratio of the clove cigarette and periodontal disease was 1.28 (95% CI), which means that smoking clove cigarette with or without filtered both have risk to periodontal disease. |
