“…Natto et al in a study of tobacco smoking and periodontal health in a Saudi Arabian population found a statistically significant association between smoking and probing depth [29]. The current study did not assess differences in probing since the 6-month observation period was too short to note any significant differences in pocket depth.…”

Smoking is a major, preventable risk factor for periodontitis. This pilot study in Nigeria evaluated the effect of dental oral prophylaxis on oral hygiene and periodontal indices among 13 systemically healthy smokers and 8 non-smokers. All participants received full-mouth scaling and root planing, tooth polishing, demonstration of correct brushing technique and a new toothbrush and toothpaste. After 6 months, debris index, calculus index, oral hygiene index and community periodontal index of treatment needs status code 0 scores showed no improvement in smokers. There was a 50% improvement of all indices among non-smokers. Smokers showed no benefit from dental oral prophylaxis in this study.Les fumeurs tirent-ils un bénéfice de la prophylaxie visant à améliorer l'hygiène bucco-dentaire ? une étude pilote au Nigéria RÉSUMÉ Le tabagisme est un facteur de risque important de la parodontite qui peut être évité. Cette étude pilote au Nigéria a évalué les effets de la prophylaxie bucco-dentaire sur l'hygiène buccale et les indices parodontaux de 13 fumeurs en bonne santé générale et 8 non-fumeurs. Tous les participants ont été soumis à un détartrage-surfaçage radiculaire complet et à un polissage des dents, ils ont assisté à une démonstration des bonnes techniques de brossage, et une nouvelle brosse à dents et du dentifrice leur ont été remis. Six mois plus tard, le code 0 obtenu pour l'état des sujets au regard de l'indice de débris, de l'indice de tartre, de l'indice d'hygiène buccale et de l'indice communautaire des besoins en soins parodontaux a montré qu'il n'y avait eu aucune amélioration chez les fumeurs. On a constaté une amélioration de 50 % de tous les indices chez les non-fumeurs. Cette étude a montré que les fumeurs ne tiraient pas de bénéfice de la prophylaxie bucco-dentaire.

“…There have been several surveys conducted locally to determine the nature and magnitude of oral health problems in the provinces. The current literature shows that a majority of oral health surveys have been done on child populations (16)(17)(18)(19)(20). These individual investigations are based on normative assessments and hence may not address oral health status completely at the national level.…”

Subjective perceptions and perceived needs for dental care in a population can provide important information for policy-makers. This study aimed to assess self-perceived personal oral health status among the Saudi Arabia population who could be accessed through social media. A pre-tested questionnaire for completion online was designed to assess self-perceived oral health via 13 items in 4 domains with weighted scores from 1-3. The questionnaire was uploaded to the Internet and the link to it was made available through popular social networking sites in Saudi Arabia. With respondents recruited by snowball methods a total of 4618 people (57.2% males, 42.8% females) completed the questionnaire. The total mean score for the participants was 23.0 (SD 5.0) (scale range 13-39). Self-perceived oral health was rated as poor by 24.2% of respondents, average by 50.6% and good by 25.2%. Educational level, age and region but not sex were significantly associated with self-perceived oral health. ‫ـم.‬ ‫الفـ‬ ‫ـة‬ ‫لصحـ‬ ‫ـذايت‬ ‫الـ‬ ‫ـور‬ ‫التصـ‬ ‫ـع‬ ‫مـ‬ -‫ـري‬ ‫كبـ‬ ‫ـكل‬ ‫بشـ‬ -‫ـني‬ ‫مرتبطـ‬ ‫ـوع)‬ ‫النـ‬ ‫ـس‬ ‫(وليـ‬ Auto-perception de la santé bucco-dentaire personnelle dans la population saoudienne : approche par les médias sociaux RÉSUMÉ Les perceptions subjectives et les besoins perçus en matière de soins bucco-dentaires dans une population peuvent fournir des informations importantes pour les responsables de l'élaboration des politiques. La présente étude visait à évaluer l'état de santé bucco-dentaire perçue par l'individu dans la population saoudienne utilisant les médias sociaux. Un questionnaire préalablement testé et destiné à être rempli en ligne a été élaboré pour l'évaluation de la santé bucco-dentaire perçue par l'individu, au moyen de 13 items dans quatre domaines ayant des scores pondérés compris entre 1 et 3. Le questionnaire a été mis en ligne et le lien a été rendu accessible sur des sites de réseaux sociaux populaires en Arabie saoudite. Grâce à l'effet d'entraînement pour recruter les répondants, 4 618 personnes (57,2 % d'hommes, 42,8 % de femmes) au total ont rempli le questionnaire. Le score moyen total des participants était de 23,0 (ET 5,0) (extrêmes : 13-39). La santé bucco-dentaire a été auto-évaluée comme mauvaise par 24,2 % des répondants, comme moyenne par 50,6 % et comme bonne par 25,2 %. Le niveau d'études, l'âge et la région étaient significativement associés à l'état de santé bucco-dentaire perçu par l'individu, mais pas le sexe.‫املتوسط‬ ‫لرشق‬ ‫الصحية‬ ‫املجلة‬ ‫العرشون‬ ‫و‬ ‫احلادي‬ ‫املجلد‬ ‫اخلامس‬ ‫العدد‬ 343

“…Despite several studies on the association between smoking and periodontal disease (Bergström et al, 2000;Johnson and Guthmiller, 2007;Natto et al, 2005), very few have reported on the awareness of this among patients. A study in United Kingdom (UK) (Lung et al, 2005) highlighted patients' lack of awareness of the relationship between smoking and periodontal disease, with only 6% of respondents knowing the relationship.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the patients' awareness of the effects of smoking on periodontal health in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and to compare with similar studies in UK and Nigeria. This cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 600 patients attending dental clinics of Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy in 2014 using anonymous, self-completed, questionnaires. The questionnaire included mainly closed-ended questions such as smoking status, duration, frequency, type, level of awareness, and demographics. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test was performed to analyze the data. 95.7% patients were aware that smoking had a negative impact on oral health. Majority of the patients were aware that smoking causes oral cancer and stains. 11.3% (n=68) stated that smoking affected the gums. Only 4.3% (n=26) of the respondents knew specifically of the link between smoking and periodontal disease. There was a statistically significant relation between awareness of the effects of smoking on oral health with gender, nationality, and smoking status (p < 0.05). This study highlights patients' lack of awareness of the relationship between smoking and periodontal diseases, with only 4.3% of the respondents knowing of the link. This finding closely resembles those of the UK and Nigerian study.
