Abstract :Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of smoking on clinical parameters and GCF volume following initial periodontal therapy (IPT). Material and Methods: A total of 42 participants, 14 non-smoker periodontally healthy and 28 stage III grade C periodontitis (14 non-smokers and 14 smokers) individuals, were included. All clinical periodontal parameters, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding on probing (BoP), pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL), were recorded and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected from all patients at baseline from all participants, and 1 and 3 months after IPT from periodontitis patients. Results: At baseline, all clinical parameters and GCF volume were lower in the healthy group than in the periodontitis groups (p<0.001). 1 and 3 months after IPT, the reductions were seen in all clinical parameters and GCF volüme in non-smoker and smoker stage III grade C periodontitis groups (p<0.001). At 3 months after IPT, GI, PD, and CAL were lower, and GCF volume was higher in the non-smoker stage III grade C periodontitis group compared to the smoking stage III stage C periodontitis group. (p<0.05). Conclusions: Although improvement was observed with IPT in both non-smoker and smoker periodontitis patients, smoking was found to have a negative effect on IPT.Keywords : periodontal cep, periodontitis, sigara
