MATERIALS AND METHODS : a research based on a questionnaire was conducted at saveetha dental college in the month of November. The questionnaire contained questions subjecting chronic alcoholics and non alcohol consuming individuals to come to a conclusion, if the chronic alcohol consuming individuals were subjected to a higher risk of periodontal disease in comparison to the non alcohol consuming individuals. The questionnaire was distributed among the out patients at Saveetha Dental College out of which 25 were non alcoholic and 25 were alcoholics. Their pocket depths were also measured. The datas were then tabulated and compared and statistics were obtained. REASON : The purpose of this study is to analyse the prevalence of periodontal disease in alcoholics vs non alcoholics. This may help dental practitioners to efficiently manage periodontal conditions.
