AB  - INTRODUCTION: Periodontal disease is considered to be one of the most common oral 
      conditions in human population sharing an equal prevalence rate in both developed 
      and developing countries. It is observed that in India, more than 800 million 
      beedis are sold every year; hence, beedi making is a big industry involving 
      approximately 4.4 million workers, and 76% of these workers are women. 
      OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were to assess the frequency of gingival 
      and periodontal disease and to evaluate the treatment needs in labors working in 
      a beedi factory. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 
      1000 daily wage labors working in a beedi factory resided at Patna, Bihar. 
      Subjects aged between 19 and 60 years were randomly selected for the study. The 
      community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN) index with CPTIN probe 
      along with the demographic data was recorded in daylight. RESULTS: None of the 
      study subjects was found to fall in category community periodontal index-1 
      (CPI-1), 67.2% of the study population was found to be in CPI-2, 12.3% were found 
      to be in CPI-3, and 9.7% of the study subjects scored CPI-4. For the treatment 
      needs, majority of the subjects were in TN2 category; however, with advancing 
      age, there was increase in the percentage of population requiring TN3 treatment 
      needs. CONCLUSION: CPITN index along with the demographic data was recorded in 
      daylight. The high prevalence rate of periodontal disease in these beedi factory 
      workers was found, which increased with advancing age. The treatment need index 
      also showed rise in the requirement of complex procedures with advancing age, 
      suggesting the role of dental education and regular checkups in these population 
      groups.
