- Cigarettes (joint)
- Cannabidol
- Topical (oils, creams)
Focal Problems
aggravated by
Smoke and Smoking
(2)
- Periodontal Disease
- Asthma
the negative of cigarette smoking on the periodontium is cumulative and dose dependent
the severity of attachment loss is directly related to the amt of smoking measured either as
pack years or number of cugs per day
the more cigs smoked per day and the longer the individual has smoked,
the more severe the level of attachment loss
cig smoking significantly increases the risk for tooth loss by
70%
- Smoking has detrimental effects on the Periodontium.
Although the exact mechanisms are not known, it appears that (2) are significantly affected.

functions of vascularity ie ability to provide (4) to the tissues. - Even slight alteration in the — can have significant effects on the tissues.

REFRACTORY PERIODONTITS
- As it is difficult to control the disease in smokers, the smokers become refractory to the traditional periodontal treatment and tend to show more periodontal breakdown than non* smokers after therapy.
in sturdies of pt who failed to respond to the conventional therapy, including different combos of OHI, SRP, surgery and abx, approx –% were smokers

Chronic inflammatory airway disorder
(3)
- Airway hyper-responsiveness to stimuli
- Bronchial edema
- Narrowing of the airways i.e., obstruction
Smoking and Asthma
Signs and Symptoms
Recurrent, reversible episodes of:
(4)
*Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
*Wheezing
*Coughing
*Tightness of chest
Which of the following is a “true”
asthma symptom?
Aggravating/Complicating Factors
(2)
● Smoking
● Air pollutants (quality)
- urban
- industrial
Staging Asthma
(3)
- Controlled
- Partially Controlled
- Uncontrolled
Types of Asthma
(4)
- Extrinsic (Allergic)
- Exercise Induced
- Intrinsic
- Drug Induced
- Intrinsic (idiosyncratic, nonallergic, nonatopic)
(5)
- Second most common
- Middle-aged individuals
- Triggered by respiratory irritants (tobacco, air
pollution, emotional stress, gastroesophageal reflux
disease (GERD) - Infrequently associated with family history
- Normal IgE levels
Intrinsic
Allergen
→ lymphocytes
→ activation of mast cells,
basophils and eosinophils
→ bradykinin, histamine,
leukotrienes, interleukins
→ bronchoconstriction
Patient Considerations
Management
➢Medications
o Which medications are you taking for your asthma
skipped
Level of Control/Severity
(6)
o How often do you use your inhaler?
o Does your inhaler have a spacer?
o How many asthma attacks/week?
o Do you have any night time attacks?
o Have you ever been to the emergency room or been
hospitalized for an asthma attack?
o Do you have a spirometer to keep a record of your lung
function
