The purpose of this research, which is part of a study on periodontal disease and its risk factors among workers in Araraquara, São Paulo, Brazil, was to determine the association between smoking and its frequency, on the one hand, and the presence of periodontal cavities on the other. A sample of 528 sugar and alcohol refinery employees from Araraquara between the ages of 18 and 64 was examined in March and April of 1992 by a trained examiner who applied the Index of Periodontal Treatment Needs in the Community. Questionnaires were used to record the individuals' age, smoking habits, and the number of cigarettes smoked daily. An oral examination was also performed to assess the presence of dental plaque and to determine the bacterial colony index. Data analysis revealed a positive association between the presence of periodontal cavities and smoking. After adjusting the data for age, presence of dental plaque, and bacterial colony index, the odds ratio for having periodontal cavities increased directly with the number of cigarettes smoked. These results suggest that smoking and its frequency should be taken into account when planning programs for the primary prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
这项研究是巴西圣保罗阿拉拉夸拉地区工人牙周疾病及其风险因素研究的一部分，其目的是确定吸烟及其频率与牙周空洞的存在之间的关联。1992年3月和4月，一位经过培训的检查人员对阿拉拉夸拉地区528名年龄在18岁至64岁之间的糖厂和酒精厂员工进行了检查，该检查人员应用了社区牙周治疗需求指数。通过问卷调查记录个人年龄、吸烟习惯以及每日吸烟量。还进行了口腔检查以评估牙菌斑的存在并确定细菌菌落指数。数据分析显示牙周空洞的存在与吸烟之间存在正相关。在对年龄、牙菌斑的存在情况和细菌菌落指数进行数据调整后，患牙周空洞的比值比随吸烟量的增加而直接上升。这些结果表明，在规划牙周疾病的一级预防和治疗方案时，应考虑吸烟及其频率。
