The association of cigarette smoking with alveolar bone loss in postmenopausal females

Background, aims: The purpose of this 2‐year longitudinal clinical study was to determine the impact of smoking on alveolar bone height and density changes in postmenopausal females. Methods: 59 postmenopausal women completed this study, including 38 non‐smokers and 21 smokers. All subjects had a hi...

Description
Summary:Background, aims: The purpose of this 2‐year longitudinal clinical study was to determine the impact of smoking on alveolar bone height and density changes in postmenopausal females. Methods: 59 postmenopausal women completed this study, including 38 non‐smokers and 21 smokers. All subjects had a history of periodontitis, participated in 3‐ to 4‐month periodontal maintenance programs and were within 5 years of menopause at the study outset. 4 vertical bite‐wing radiographs of posterior sextants were taken at baseline and 2‐year visits. Radiographs were evaluated using computer‐assisted densitometric image analysis (CADIA); changes in interproximal alveolar bone density and changes in alveolar bone height were determined. Relative clinical attachment levels (RCAL) and presence/absence of plaque and bleeding on probing were recorded. Results: Smokers exhibited a higher frequency of alveolar bone height loss (p< 0.05) and crestal (p
