    Most of the males aged 35-44 who participated in a dental health camp in Byasi, Bhaktapur, Nepal were heavy smokers for over 5 years. They were otherwise healthy with no medical history affecting their dental health. Using the Community Periodontal Index, most participants were found to have a score of 3 or 4, indicating pathological pockets between 4-6mm, suggesting heavy smoking was the likely cause of periodontal disease in these individuals.
