About this study
The aim of this prospective study is to verify the efficacy of smoking cessation on non-surgical periodontal therapy in adult subjects with chronic periodontitis.
Smokers that were willing to quit received periodontal treatment and concurrent smoking cessation therapy. Periodontal maintenance was performed every 3 months. A calibrated examiner, blinded to smoking status, assessed periodontal status, gathered demographic and behavioural information with a structured questionnaire and measured air carbon monoxide concentration measurements.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Smoking cessation therapyBehavioural
Multidisciplinary smoking cessation therapy, performed by a team comprising physicians, nurses, a psychologist and dentists. It consisted of four 1-h counselling lectures, psychologist-assisted cognitive behavioural therapy, nicotine replacement therapy and medication (bupropion or varenicline). Smoking cessation motivation was reinforced by dentists at the maintenance sessions, by means of motivational interviewing techniques
Non-surgical periodontal therapyProcedure or surgery
full-mouth supra and subgingival scaling and root planing (with curettes and ultrasonic scaler); oral hygiene instruction and motivation and removal of intra-oral plaque retentive factors
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Adjunctive smoking cessation | Experimental | non-surgical periodontal therapy and concurrent smoking cessation therapy Receives: Behavioral: Smoking cessation therapy; Procedure: Non-surgical periodontal therapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Clinical Attachment Level (millimeters) after 24 months
Measured: baseline and 24 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change in Gingival recession (millimeters) after 24 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Clinical Attachment Level (millimeters) after 24 months (time frame: baseline and 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02493270, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
