Article Synopsis
- Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition linked to microbial interactions and the immune response, which can lead to tooth loss; smoking exacerbates this condition by increasing enzyme secretion.
- A study compared serum albumin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in smokers versus non-smokers with generalized chronic periodontitis, finding that smokers had higher ALP and lower albumin levels.
- Results indicated a significant connection between elevated ALP and reduced albumin in smokers, highlighting the impact of smoking on periodontal health.
