Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Eighty patients, 40 smokers and 40 non-smokers, with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were included in this prospective cohort study and treated non-surgically and surgically, and then followed-up in a supportive periodontal therapy program for 12 months. Smoking status was validated measuring serum cotinine levels at pre-treatment and 12 months following supportive periodontal therapy.
Clinical measurements included full mouth recordings of clinical attachment level, probing depth, bleeding on probing, and plaque index at pre-treatment and following active and supportive periodontal therapy. At the same timepoints, subgingival plaque samples of 20 subgingival periopathogenic bacterial species were analysed using checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. Blood samples (PAXgeneBlood), serum, gingval crevicular fluid were also collected at the three timepoints.
