Conditions
Summary
This cross-sectional observational study aims to compare the clinical and radiographic periodontal status, as well as gingival crevicular fluid volume, among cigarette smokers, heated-tobacco product users, and non-smokers. Specifically, the aim is to determine whether tobacco product users exhibit worse clinical parameters-such as probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, plaque index, clinical attachment loss-along with greater radiographic bone loss and higher gingival crevicular fluid volume than non-smokers.
