RESUMO

Clinical and histological periodontal status were evaluated in smokers and non-smokers. Fifty five subjects took part of the study, 29 smokers and 26 non-smokers, ages ranging from 30 to-50 years, with age average of 40 years. The clinical parameters used were: probing depth(PD), plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival recession(GR) and gingival bleeding index(GBI). The histological analysis was done by histomorphometry and histomorphology of the gingival connective tissue of the periodontal pocket by 10 subjects, of which 5 were smokers and 5 non-smokers who were randomly selected by the both groups. The time of smoking habit, amounts of cigarette smoked per day and the tooth loss were also considered in smokers. The obtained results showed a tendency of greater averages by probing depth, periodontal attachment level and amount of plaque in smokers, greater average of gingival index for non-smokers, lower average of gingival bleeding for smokers and similar averages of recession in both groups. Histological and clinical effects were less expressive in smokers. This masking of periodontal disease caused by immunological, cellular and vascular reactions, and the time of smoking, can result in less favourable prognosis of the periodontal therapy in smokers.
