Objective: Smoking is carried out through the mouth, and smoking is known to adversely affect oral health. The purpose of this study was to find the effect of oral cleanliness in the factors associated with smoking. The primary purpose is to develop educational materials for smoking cessation in the future.
Methods: Seventy men ranging in age from 20s to 50s, who visited a dental clinic in Daejeon were recruited. They were given a questionnaire for an oral habits check and an oral examination and carbon monoxide measurement by use of a Micro-CO meter. Results are as follows.
Results: Comparison of each group in the DMF index, there was no significant difference between all groups. On the other hand, there was a significant difference in PMA index, sPHP index, nicotine stain index, the amount of carbon monoxide between smokers and nonsmokers (p＜0.05). The PMA index was highly correlated between sPHP index (r=0.402, p=0.001) and nicotine stain index (r=0.399, p=0.001) and the amount of carbon monoxide (r=0.408, p=0.000). There was a strong relationship between the amount of carbon monoxide (r=0.346, p=0.003) and nicotine stain index (r=0.368, p=0.002) and sPHP index.
Conclusion: Oral cleanliness was shown to be correlated with smoking. As a result, carbon monoxide as measured using equipment Micro-co can reveal the amount of smoking and Smoking status. It is recommended to quit smoking rather than reduce the amount of tobacco.
