This study aims to explore tooth mortality in Khat chewer smokers (KS) and Khat chewer non-smokers (KNS) in a selected population from Sana'a, Yemen. A total of 1296 persons, 858 were male and 438 were female ranging in age from 15 to 64 years were examined. The samples of individuals were divided into two groups: KS and KNS. The number of tooth loss per person was calculated and data were analyzed with SPSS version 16. There was a significant difference in the percentage of lost teeth between the KS and KNS groups (p= 0.001). The highest percentage of tooth loss was observed in the first and second molar teeth. Male KNS had significantly more teeth loss for second premolar, first and second molars compared to smoker khat chewers. In this study sample, the first and second molars being the most commonly missing teeth among Khat chewing non-smokers. The central and lateral incisors were the most commonly missing teeth in Khat chewing smokers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
