INTRODUCTION: The present bibliometric study has been undertaken with the view to
understand the latest publication distribution pattern of the articles published in JMBRAS.
during the last two decade.
METHODS: We collected the data with the Scopus and Publish and Perish version 8 with
referring to online homepage of the journal. At the time of data mining of the said journal,
240 articles and 229 book reviews were published during the period of 2000-2020.
RESULTS: More than 90 % articles and book review contributed to the JMBRAS journal were
based on Single Authorship Pattern. Almost three third of the journal have been cited at least
one and the highest citation was 187. In addition, the Relative Growth Rate (RGR) and
doubling time (DT) for scientific article (0.16, 6.65) and book review (0.17, 6.66) respectively.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The study revealed that JMBRAS continued to be the avenue for
researchers in this discipline to disseminate their findings.

INTRODUCTION: Smoking is one of the most important risk factors of periodontitis. Most
authors in previous studies, representing different populations, have shown a significant
association between smoking and periodontitis severity. This study aimed to compare the
extent and severity of periodontitis between smokers and non-smokers.
METHODS: A total of 189 patients (smoker:80, non-smoker:109) with fulfilling criteria was
included in this study. Data collection was merely based on clinical notes. Data taken were
demographic data (age, gender, and ethnic groups), smoking status, and periodontal records
(periodontal pocket depth, percentage of bleeding on probing, and percentage of plaque) at
baseline. All the clinical data were analysed using the SPSS (IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA).
RESULTS: There was a significantly different in full mouth plaque score (FMPS) between
smokers and non-smokers (p < 0.003). Smokers also demonstrated a higher percentage of
(FMBS) than non-smokers with a statistically significant (p < 0.002). Smoker had statistically
significantly (p < 0.0001) higher mean PPD than non-smokers. The result also showed that
fewer shallow pockets were found for smokers (46%) compared to non-smokers (64.39%).
Smokers showed 42% of moderate pockets and 14% of deep pockets, whereas non-smokers
showed 33% of moderate pockets and 5% of deep pockets.
DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: Overall, smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease.
Smokers had evidence of more severe periodontitis manifested by deeper periodontal pocket
depths compared to non-smokers.
