Objective: The
main purpose of the study was to evaluate the quality of life and illness
perceptions of smoking and non-smoking periodontitis patients before and after
non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT).
Materials
and methods: This study is a
prospective cohort study approved by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee
(Ethics No: 36290600/28). BIPQ-TR (Brief Illness Perception) questionnaires were used to evaluate
the quality of life and disease perception of 36 smokers (45.69±9.25 years; 10
women) and 37 non-smokers (47.0312.71 years; 21 women)
periodontitis patients before and after NSPT. The Fagerstrom questionnaire was
used to determine the smoking addiction rates of the participants. Potential
links between smoking addiction, periodontal indices and BIPQ-TR were evaluated
by statistical analysis.
Results:
Female gender was significantly higher in the non-smoking group
(p=0.012). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of
age, marital status, education level, oral hygiene education and monthly income
(p>0.05). According to Fagerstrom scores
41.6% of the patients were advance smokers. Items 3, 7 and 8 of BIPQ-TR were
significantly higher in the non-smoking group before NSPT (p<0.05). Items 1,
2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 of BIPQ-TR were significantly higher in the non-smoking group
after NSPT (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
NSPT has significantly improved patients' emotional burden related to
periodontitis. A treatment approach that addresses the specific needs of
smokers, considering gender differences, can improve their adherence to
treatment.
