FROM PERIODONTAL HEALTH TO DISEASE: THE IMPACT OF SMOKING

Abstract: Smoking causes changes in periodontal tissues, dental biofilm formation, host immune response – all affecting progression of the disease, as well as healing after periodontal treatment. It is estimated that new ways of tobacco and nicotine product consumption - electric cigarettes and Tobacco heating systems (THS), which produce aerosol with nicotine, contain less harmful products than conventional cigarette smoke, however it has not been investigated in vivo in oral cavity. Our Faculty carries out clinical studies aimed at researching of the impact of smoking and THS, on oral mucosa, teeth and periodontal tissues and to what extend smoking modifies treatment protocols.
