Abstract EN
Background : The aim of this study was to estimate the role of smoking as a risk factor on the gingival status of the diabetic and non-diabetic patient as measured by both gingival fluid flow (G.F.F) and gingival fluid pH (G.F.pH) and clinical parameters (plaque index and gingival index).
Material and method : All the patients were smokers with mean age of 45 years.
Thirty-two sites were selected from each group.
Clinical examination including PL.I and GI were evaluated for each patient, G.F.F and G.F.pH were evaluated to in the selected sites.
Results : The PL.I, G.I, G.F.F and G.F.pH for smoker diabetic patients were slightly higher than smoker non-diabetic patients, but no statistical difference was found.
Conclusion : There was a positive relationship between the clinical parameters and G.F.F and G.F.pH in both diabetic and non diabetic patient.
It was also found that smokers are high risk group for periodontitis.
