Abstract
By examination on 5690 Danish Royal Marines a correlation has been found between consumption of tobacco and ulceromembranous gingivitis, between consumption of tobacco and deposition of calculus, and between calculus and gingivitis. Furthermore, it is shown, solely by means of statistical data, that the tobacco has an effect, per se, on the gingival tissues.Keywords
