Abstract

The use of burnt tobacco products, such as Mishri, is associated with numerous health risks, including periodontal diseases. Heavy metals present in tobacco can accumulate in dental calculus, potentially exacerbating periodontal conditions. This study aimed to assess and establish a correlation between the levels of heavy metals present in dental calculus among burnt tobacco (Mishri) users and non-tobacco users, in relation to their periodontal health status. Utilizing Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), heavy metal concentrations were measured in dental calculus samples collected from both user groups. The study included comprehensive periodontal assessments to evaluate the periodontal status of participants. Results revealed significant differences in heavy metal levels between tobacco users and non-users. Additionally, correlations between heavy metal concentrations and periodontal parameters were explored. This research sheds light on the potential oral health implications of burnt tobacco use and highlights the importance of monitoring heavy metal exposure in dental calculus as a potential biomarker for periodontal health assessment.

Keywords: Salivary, biomarkers, toxicity, oral hygiene, periodontal status, atomic absorption spectrometry.
