Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
60 subjects with periodontitis will be included in the study 30 non-smokers and 30 cigarette smokers. All subjects will fill out a quality of life questionnaire which will be validated before the onset of this research. This will be followed by clinical periodontal examination. After examination, the upper and lower jaw will be scanned using an intraoral scanner and initial periodontal therapy will be performed. After 8 weeks, subjects will fill out the quality of life questionnaire again, measurement of periodontal indices and scanning will be performed. The digital scans wll be superimposed, and the dimensional changes of the gingiva will be quantified and compared between the two groups. By using 3D technology, it will be possible to objectively quantify tissue changes and monitor the course of the disease. A 3D comparison between non-smokers and cigarette smokers will provide a new perspective on the relationship between smoking and periodontitis. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated to what extent smoking affects the quality of life of patients with periodontitis and the results of non-surgical therapy.
