Clinical Trial Summary

The effect of different forms of nicotine intake on the gingival health of dental patients that visited a public sector in Islamabad. A total of 300 dental patients that visited School of Dentistry, Islamabad. The nicotine consuming participants involved in this study were Smoke-Form users, E cigarette-form users, and Dual-Form users whose Gingival Index (G-I) was inspected to demonstrate an association between their smoking type and duration of developing severe gingivitis.

Description:

A total of 300 dental patients that visited School of Dentistry, Islamabad, participated voluntarily in this study. The nicotine consuming participants involved in this study were Smoke-Form users, E cigarette-form users, and Dual-Form users whose Gingival Index (G-I) was inspected to demonstrate an association between their smoking type and duration of developing severe gingivitis. The G-I ranging between 0.5-2 was used to calculate the occurrence of severe gingival issues in participants with smoking habits where G-I between 0.50-1.00 displayed Light gingival inflammation, G-I between 1.10-2.00 revealed Moderate gingival inflammation and G-I > 2.00 confirmed Severe gingival inflammation. A chi-Square test was used for the association by keeping significance < 0.05.
