Alcohol abuse or dependence is a major risk factor for many illnesses and disabilities. Its chronic use is irritating to the mucosa and is related to worse oral conditions. However, few studies evaluate the oral health of alcohol dependents. The objective of this study is to evaluate the dental and periodontal status of alcoholics and to compare them with the dental and periodontal status of non-alcoholics. This cross-sectional observational study included 60 males, aged between 32 and 72 years, with 30 alcoholics assisted in the Alcoholic Attendance Program of the Hospital Universitário Cassiano de Moraes and 30 non-alcoholics attended at the Periodontia Nucleus of the Federal University of Espírito Santo Holy. These were submitted to the interview and clinicai examinations. Statistical analysis was characterized by means of frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, multiple logistic regression and Chi-square and Studenfs t-tests. The alpha levei of significance used in all analyzes was 5% with a 95% confidence interval. Alcoholics had a lower average age, used more tobacco, had a lower frequency of dental brushing and flossing, had more lost and decayed teeth, more residual root and more teeth with visible plaque index present (OR = 4.9 - 4.4 to 5.5) compared to nonalcoholics. The site with a clinicai insertion levei of 4 mm or more had half the chance of being detected (OR = 0.50 - 0.43 to 0.57) in alcoholics compared to nonalcoholics. There was no difference in the presence of the periodontal pocket of the alcoholic patients in relation to the abstinence time; however, there was a difference between the use of tobacco (p <0.001) and the time of alcohol use (p <0.001). Alcoholic individuais presented higher prevalence of caries, fewer sites with periodontal disease and worse oral hygiene than non-alcoholic individuais. Regarding professional follow-up, there was similarity between the groups evaluated.
