One hundred eighty subjects were examined to assess the effect of smoking on periodontal conditions by community periodontal index for treatment needs (CPITN). All subjects were interviewed regarding their oral hygiene habits. Data were entered to the computer and statistical analysis system (SAS) was utilised. Results showed that the frequency of smokers is 31% where 25.9% of this were male. Smokers use toothbrush in performing their oral hygiene more than non-smokers. Results also showed that periodontal conditions as measured by CPITN were not significantly different between smokers and non-smokers. However, further studies with more sensitive periodontal indices are recommended in the future to assess the differences between both groups.
通过社区牙周治疗需要指数（CPITN）对180名受试者进行检查，以评估吸烟对牙周状况的影响。就其口腔卫生习惯对所有受试者进行了访谈。数据录入计算机并使用统计分析系统（SAS）。结果显示，吸烟者的比例为31%，其中25.9%为男性。吸烟者在进行口腔卫生护理时比不吸烟者更常使用牙刷。结果还显示，用CPITN测量的牙周状况在吸烟者和不吸烟者之间没有显著差异。然而，建议未来采用更敏感的牙周指数进行进一步研究，以评估两组之间的差异。
