why smoking is closely associated with oral health? obviously be easy to answer, because the cigarette is inhaled through the mouth I think no other place to smoke cigarettes. By easy we can see a smoker's lips look darker than the lip of a non-smoker, why?

In general we know that there are cigarettes in Indonesia there are 2 types, cigarettes with filter and without filter (better known as clove cigarettes). Cigarettes without filters tend to quickly change the color of teeth on a cigarette with a filter.

Now let us follow the trail of cigarette smoke why do so many organs "of the body injured. When we inhale cigarette smoke from a cigarette into the mouth cavity, a few seconds with millions of cigarette smoke substances" are chemicals in the oral cavity and affects the tissues and organs that are in the oral cavity including the teeth themselves. Hot smoke that blows continuously into the oral cavity is heat stimuli cause changes in blood flow and reduce expenses saliva. As a result of the oral cavity becomes dry and more an-aerobic (oxygen-free atmosphere) so as to provide a suitable environment for the growth of an-aerobic bacteria in plaque. By itself smokers are at greater risk of disease-causing bacteria infected tooth supporting tissues than those of smokers.

Gums smokers also tend to have thickened stratum corneum. This thickened area that looks more rugged than the surrounding tissue and reduced its malleability. Narrowing of blood vessels caused by nicotine resulted in reduced blood flow in the gums so that gum disease increases the likelihood of emergence.

Tar in cigarette smoke also increases the chances of gingivitis, gum disease is most often caused by plaque bacteria and other factors which may cause the accumulation of plaque around the gums. Tar can be deposited on the surface of the tooth and tooth root so that the surface becomes rough and facilitate the attachment plaque. From the difference studies have been carried out plaque and tartar formation of many more in the oral cavity of smokers compared to nonsmokers. Disease severe tooth supporting tissues, bone damage and tooth loss dental advocate more common in smokers than nonsmokers. In the treatment of dental tissue disease patients pendukund smokers need greater care and more. Whereas in patients with non-smokers and in the same situation just enough standard treatment such as cleaning of plaque and tartar.

Severity of illness arising from moderate to advanced level directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked each day how long or how many years a person becomes a smoker and smoking status itself, is still smoking up to now or have been stopped.
Nicotine plays a role in starting the tooth supporting tissue disease because nicotine can be absorbed by the oral soft tissues including the gums through the bloodstream and the attachment of gum to the tooth surface and roots. Nicotine can be found on the surface of the tooth root and the results kontinin metabolites can be found in the liquid gum.

Some treatments are strongly advocated in patients benrhenti smokers to smoke for a while, during the treatment process. As patients in the implant.

It can be concluded that losses arising from the habit of smoking on oral health:

1. Change the color of teeth, gums and lips.
2. Caries in the more rapidly formed.
3. The possibility of cancer in the mouth very large.
4. Clear breath smelled of cigarettes.
