    Author: Goultschin J, Cohen HD, Donchin M, Brayer L, Soskolne WA.
    Journal: J Periodontol; 1990 Jun; 61(6):364-7. PubMed ID: 2366143.
    Abstract:
    A total of 344 Jerusalem hospital personnel participated in the present survey which examined periodontal needs according to CPITN (a measure of treatment needs) and smoking habits. Females and younger subjects were found to be generally periodontally healthier than their male and older counterparts. The effect of both smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked were shown to have a clearly deleterious effect on periodontal status when assessed using the CPITN. Younger women were found to be most susceptible to this effect.
