Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of waterpipe smoking on periodontal health, which will be done using a well constructed validated questionnaire. Then a full periodontal examination and x-ray evaluation will be done for all of the participants.

Description:

The primary outcome of the study is to assess the effect of waterpipe smoking on periodontal health, it will be assessed by questions about smoking habits, including smoking mode as well as duration (heads smoked per day) and extent of use (age of initiation and number of sessions per week) of waterpipe smoking.

A full periodontal examination using UNC-15 periodontal probe will be done for all of the participants measuring the CAL, Probing Depth (PD), plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and gingival recession depth (GD). In subjects where attachment loss will be clinically detected, radiographic examination will be performed by digital periapical radiograph to detect the amount of bone loss, then staging will be done according to the new classification by the aid of radiographic examination.
