Abstract

The periodontal health among beedi smokers and tobacco chewers and its correlation to salivary cotinine levels is of interest. Hence, 60 tobacco-consuming male patients of which 30 patients were beedi smokers and 30 were smokeless tobacco users were enrolled in the study. The gingival health and periodontal health were determined. Unstimulated saliva was collected and subjected to quantitative Enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA). There was a statistically significant effect on number and duration of beedi smoked than chewed (p<0.001). Beedi smoking has more adverse effects on periodontium than tobacco chewing.

Keywords: Enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA); periodontium; salivary cotinine; smoking; tobacco.
