Abstract

Introduction

Tobacco in the form of Gutkha is commonly used in India. The present study was done to analyze the extent and pattern of alveolar bone loss (ABL) among gutkha chewers who were having chronic periodontitis.

Materials and methods

A total of 55 habitual gutkha chewers within the age range of 18 to 35 years with chronic periodontitis, who were otherwise healthy were recruited for the study. Fourteen full mouth intraoral periapical (IOPA) radiographs were taken for each individual (a total of 770 radiographs) with the help of radiovisiography. Kodak dental software was used to analyze and measure the alveolar bone loss at each proximal site and data were computed as percentage alveolar bone loss.

Results

Almost all the subjects had poor oral hygiene status. Clinical parameters of periodontal examination represented by clinical attachment level, probing depth, gingival bleeding index had positive correlation with frequency and duration of gutkha chewing. The study population had a mean alveolar bone loss of 17%. Mean bone loss was more severe in mandible 18.3% ± 2.6, when compared with maxillary arch 15.7% ± 3.7.

Conclusion

Maximum bone loss was observed with molars and incisors. Alveolar bone loss was more frequently found in mandibular arch as compared to maxillary arch.
