Correlation between periodontal pocket depth and red complex bacteria among tobacco user
Keywords:
periodontitis, BANA test, tobacco user, probing depthAbstract
Aims- The present study is to evaluate the presence of red complex microorganism and relation with the prevalence of anaerobic bacteria and corelation with pocket depth in Periodontitis among tobacco user. Materials and Methods- The BANA (N-benzoyl-DL-arginine-naphthylamide) test was used to analyze subgingival microbiota. 400 subject age between 20-55 enrolled in this study, subject divided into three groups Tobacco Chewers, Tobacco Smokers, Both chewers and smokers and Non tobacco user. Result – The present study compared the subject with BANA test and pocket depth, the study shows tobacco smokers had deep pocket in comparison to other subject, which concluded that tobacco smokers show greater destruction of periodontium. Conclusion- Tobacco is harmful substance either it is used in any form (Chewing and Smoking), but study clearly indicate tobacco smoking are responsible for more destruction of Periodontium. The tobacco cessation programme should be implemented to prevent periodontitis and smoking prevention should be done by health education.
