Brief summary
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate in patients with generalized chronic periodontitis that switching from cigarette smoking to using IQOS improves the response to periodontal therapy and the overall oral health status compared to continuing cigarette smoking. Note: IQOS is the Tobacco Heating System (THS) with Marlboro Heatsticks, marketed in Japan under the brand name IQOS
Detailed description
This was a randomized, controlled, open-label, 2-arm, parallel group ambulatory study with the randomization stratified by daily cigarette consumption over the month (30 days) prior to Visit 1 (10-19 cigarettes/day vs. \> 19 cigarettes/day) and disease severity recorded at Visit 1 (\< 5 mm Pocket Depth \[PD\] vs. ≥ 5 mm PD) based on the most severely diseased tooth, in smokers with generalized chronic periodontitis who are randomized to either switch from cigarette smoking to IQOS use or continuing cigarette smoking.

Inflammatory Status in Periodontal Pockets
Gum inflammation was measured using percentage of teeth bleeding on probing (BOP). BOP in full mouth was measured to assess inflammatory status in the pocket and was assessed as YES or NO of bleeding at 6 sites per tooth. Gently probing (approximately 20 g pressure), the bleeding site within 30 seconds was assessed as YES.

Presence of Plaque on Tooth Surfaces in Full Mouth
Plaque will be measured using the plaque control record (PCR) percentage.
Time frame: From baseline to 3 months and 6 months
Population: The analysis population consisted of all randomized subjects with at least one product use experience and at least one valid non-safety assessment. Subjects were analyzed based on their actual self-reported product use. Some participants were excluded from analysis for protocol deviations (including, but not limited to, missing measurements).

Tooth Mobility
Tooth mobility will be graded according to Miller's mobility index (MMI), which is the most widely accepted method for routine clinical examinations of tooth mobility. The tooth is held between the metallic handles of two instruments and moved in the buccolingual or buccopalatal direction, and the moved distance is visually estimated by the person conducting the examination. Grade 0: Physiologic movement within 0.2 mm; Grade 1: Slight mobility, tooth can be moved 0.2 - 1 mm labiolingually; Grade 2: Moderate mobility, tooth can be moved 1 - 2 mm labiolingually or mesiodistally; Grade 3: Severe mobility, tooth can be moved more than 2 mm labiolingually or mesiodistally, or ability to depress the tooth in a vertical direction.
Time frame: From baseline to 3 months and 6 months
Population: The analysis population consisted of all randomized subjects with at least one product use experience and at least one valid non-safety assessment.

Use of Tobacco or Nicotine-containing Products in Patients Switching to IQOS Use and Patients Who Continue Cigarette Smoking.
Self-reported use of tobacco or nicotine containing products will be measured over the study in patients switching to IQOS use and patients who continue cigarette smoking.
