RESUMEN
La enfermedad periodontal es de carácter multifactorial. En este artículo de revisión mencionaré el tabaco como factor de riesgo. Numerosas investigaciones demuestran la relación entre fumar y enfermedad periodontal. Tanto estudios transversales como longitudinales nos dan suficiente evidencia de que fumar aumenta considerablemente el riesgo de la periodontitis. Fumar cigarrillos afecta la circulación, el sistema inmune y los mecanismos inflamatorios.
ABSTRACT
Periodontal disease is multifactorial in its nature. In this article I will focus on smoking as a risk factor. Numerous studies demonstrate the relationship between smoking and periodontal disease. Both, transversal and longitudinal studies provide us with sufficient evidence that smoking increases the risk of periodontitis. Cigarette smoking affects the circulation, the immune system and the inflammatory response.
