The aim of the study was evaluation of the state of dentition and the efficiency of dental decay treatment in smokers and non-smokers as well as defining whether dentists and family doctors inform their patients about the negative influence of tobacco smoking on their health state. The studies were conducted among 64 people, 35 men (54.69%) and 29 women (45.31%). Cigarette smoking was reported by 26 people (40.63%). The mean age of nonsmokers was 37.87 and smokers 39.04%. In the smokers group the value of mean number D denoting the number of carious teeth was 6.23; the mean number M denoting the number of missing teeth had the value of 9.85, in non-smokers 4.66 and 6.29 respectively. In smokers the value of mean number F denoting the number of filled teeth was 4.46 and in non-smokers 7.39 (p< 0,01). The mean number DMF in smokers had the value of 20.54, in non-smokers 18.34. The state of dentition in smokers was distinguished by greater number of carious and missing teeth and smaller number of filled teeth. In non-smoking patients the efficiency of dental decay treatment was higher in comparison with the group of non-smoking people (p < 0.05). Dentists informed 35.94% of the surveyed about the harmfulness of cigarette smoking whereas family doctors informed 29.69% of them. It is necessary to conduct thorough studies to define the influence of cigarette smoking on oral health as well as to inform all patients about the negative influence of cigarette smoking on their health state.
