Key Points

To examine how tobacco smoke exposure alters clinical outcomes following non-surgical periodontal therapy with and without chlorhexidine.
Conducted a controlled clinical trial involving periodontal therapy
Divided participants into groups based on tobacco exposure and antiseptic use
Measured clinical periodontal parameters pre and post-treatment
Smoking negatively impacted the success rates of non-surgical periodontal therapy
Using chlorhexidine as an antiseptic alongside therapy showed additional benefits in clinical outcomes

Implication

Controlled clinical trial investigates tobacco smoke effects on periodontal outcomes with antiseptic enhancement, suggesting improved treatment efficacy.

Abstract

Smoking reduces the success of NSPT but the addition of antiseptic proved to be an additional benefit.
