This paper is aimed to estimate the prevalence and extent of periodontal clinical attachment loss and the possible related risk factors in adult Yemeni population. The study sample composed of 884 adult subjects (496 males and 388 females) aged ≥ 25 years old. Clinical examination of CAL was performed on six sites for each tooth. Prevalence and severity of CAL and the relationship with the risk variables were assessed. Chi-squared and multiple regression tests were used with significant level of P < 0.05. Out of the 884 subjects examined, 629 (71.2%) had CAL ≥ 1 mm [233 (26.4%) had CAL ≥ 1 and < 3 mm, 214 (24.2%) had CAL ≥ 3 and < 5 mm, and 182 (20.6%) had CAL ≥ 5 mm]. Age, gender, tooth brushing, Khat chewing, smoking, plaque deposits, and calculus accumulation were associated significantly with CAL (P < 0.05). In this study population, a high prevalence of CAL ≥ 5 mm was observed. Bad habits and poor oral hygiene showed strong association with the periodontal clinical attachment loss.
