“…On the other hand, studies showed that smoking is associated with lower salivary cystatin activity and output of cystatin C is also reduced during gingival inflammation. Cystatins are thought to contribute to maintaining oral health by inhibiting certain proteolytic enzymes (Lie et al, 2001). In addition, studies have confirmed by earlier results that there were no significant differences in salivary flow rates between smokers and non-smokers (Reibel, 2003).…”

“…Cystatins are thought to contribute to maintaining oral heath by inhibiting certain proteolytic enzymes. In addition, studies have confirmed from earlier results that there were no significant differences in salivary flow rates between smokers and non-smokers (34,41). The decreased buffering effect of smoker's saliva and the higher number of lactobacilli and S. mutans group may indicate an increased susceptibility to caries (34,56).…”

“…Based on recent reviews [44,70], it seems fair to conclude that plausible biological explanations exist. Recent studies support earlier findings of impaired humoral, cellular and innate immune reactions and effects via the Reibel cytokine and adhesion molecule systems [71][72][73][74][75]. A clinically suppressed hemorrhagic responsiveness of the periodontium has been demonstrated in smokers [76].…”
