- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of cigarette smoking to periodontal diseases and the treatment of the disease. Cigarette smoking is an established risk factor in developing periodontitis and is associated with periodontal attachment loss. The interaction between smoking and genetic factors is significant in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease in smokers. Smoking impairs several aspects of the host responses including neutrophil function, fibroblast activities, and antibody production.
