[The influence of tobacco-smoke components on alpha-ketopropionic acid in the pulp of front and rear teeth of chronic smokers].
The composition of cigarette-smoke is relatively well known in spite of its tremendous complexity. But the analysis of cigarette smoke toxicological influence on biochemical components of tooth enamel, dentine and pulpe is not completely study. The present study was designed to characterize the pulpe biochemical component (alpha-ketopropionic acide) by acute serous pulpit. The total number of 140 patients, age 35-40 (Tobacco-smokers 80, non-smokers - 60) have been investigated. The results suggested, that tobacco-smokers chisel tooth and molars contains less alpha-ketopropionic acide than non-smokers individuals. These studies support the hypothesis of cigarette smoke important role in the tooth support mechanisms. The biochemical activity and function of tooth proteins and amino acids composition must by compared to concentration of tobacco-smoke components.
