Sažetak
Introduction Smoking is considered a major risk factor for the development and progression of periodontal diseases. The relationship of cigarette smoking to the composition of the subgingival microbiota is not clear. The aim of this study is to investigate how smoking in young adults without clinical signs of periodontal disease is associated with the prevalence of subgingival bacteria. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was done on the consecutive sample from general population of smokers with good oral and systemic health and with no signs of periodontal disease. Clinical examination was performed on 23 young adults and their smoking history was recorded. The participants filled in a structured questionnaire recording their general health, socio-economic status and oral health habits. Pooled subgingival plaque samples were taken from first molars for further analyses. Microbiological analyses were performed with matrix–assisted laser desorption/ionization - Time of Flight method (MALDI-TOF) separately for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Results Median (interquartile range) of the number of detected anaerobic bacteria in total sample was 4 (3-5). Number of anaerobic bacteria was 2 (2-5). On this particular sample level number of aerobic bacteria was larger in smokers group (4.0 (2.8-5.3)) than in non-smokers group (3.5 (3.0-5.0) and the number of anaerobic bacteria was larger in smokers group (3.0 (2.0-5.0) than in non-smokers group (1.5 (0.0-3.0). None of these differences were statistically significant on this interim sample. Conclusion Even though there is no statistically significant difference, probably due to a small sample, the results of this study encourage us to conduct a large-scale study.
