Introduction: Periodontal disease has a multifactorial etiology and is among the most important oral health conditions affecting the world population. Smoking increases the prevalence of periodontal pathogens, making it difficult to control the dental biofilm and, consequently, making the host more susceptible to periodontal disease. Objective: To identify the periodontal profile of smokers with special needs (diabetic, chronic and hypertensive) and the relationship between the amount and time of smoking with the periodontal condition. Material and Methods: 66 individuals were examined by periodontal clinical examination (probing pocket depth, clinical insertion level) using a computerized probe and evaluation of the number of sites with probing bleeding for the diagnosis of periodontal disease. In addition, the subjects answered a four-question questionnaire that assessed the patients' profile on the type of tobacco used, smoking time, and number of cigarettes consumed per day. Results: 72.72% of the individuals examined had a diagnosis of periodontitis in stages 3 and 4 of severity. There was no positive correlation between the mean smoking time and the severity of periodontal disease. The average bleeding on probing was lower in individuals who consumed more than 10 cigarettes per day, compared to individuals who consumed less than 10 cigarettes per day. There were no significant differences between the clinical parameters of tooth mobility and pocket depth to polling in relation to the amount of cigarettes consumed per day. Conclusion: Smoking was related to the severity of periodontal disease in the evaluated individuals.
