Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate, through literature review, clinical aspects (plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, gingival recession and clinical attachment level) and microbiological (qualitative and quantitative presence of periodontal pathogens) in smokers patients and the response to periodontal therapy. Material and Methods: it was selected scientific articles published between the years 1978 and 2014. We were selected scientific articles from MEDLINE, PUBMED and
LILACS databases. Results: there are controversies between tobacco and clinical and microbiological parameters. Conclusion: based on the evaluated studies we can conclude that there are significant clinical and microbiological differences in smoking patients and impaired response to periodontal therapy.
