New Consumer Report, December 15th, according to foreign news reports, researchers at the University of Tofz University Researchers recently evaluated the relationship between the use of electronic cigarettes and electronic cigarette equipment and the level of dental caries Existing evidence between smoke and oral health.


They found that electronic cigarettes would increase the risk of dental caries in patients. In view of these findings, they recommend that the use of electronic cigarettes and electronic cigarette equipment should not only include the risk factors of the risk level of patient dental caries in the risk level of patient dental dental caries.


According to data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 9.1 million American adults and 2 million adolescents use tobacco -based e -cigarette products. However, although more and more evidence shows that electronic cigarettes are related to the deterioration of the whole body, the public has little understanding of this issue.


Earlier research reports said that using electronic atomizing equipment may increase the risk of periodontal disease and damage to dental enamel. However, more research is needed to understand the connection between the use of electronic cigarettes and oral health, and this study is the first study to investigate the relationship between the risk of electronic cigarettes and the increase in the risk of dental caries.


In this study, researchers analyzed more than 13,000 patients over 16,000 patients over 16,000 patients who were treated in Tavz Dental Clinic from 2019 to 2022. They found that about 79% of patients with electronic cigarettes or electronic cigarettes have higher risk of dental caries, and the control group is only 60%. Researchers pointed out that they did not ask whether the equipment used contain nicotine or tetrahydrocopiol, which is the main mental active compound found in marijuana.


"It is important to understand this is preliminary data." Dr. Karina Irusa, a comprehensive nursing assistant professor and main author of the university, said in a press release. "This is not 100% conclusion, but people really need to understand what we see."


According to researchers, the use of electronic cigarettes may lead to the development of dental caries due to the high sugar content and viscosity of electronic smoke liquid. When atomization and inhalation, the liquid will stick to the teeth, and the atomized gas solution will change the oral microbial group, causing bacteria that cause dental caries to enter the mouth. It also shows that electronic cigarettes may promote dental caries in areas that usually do not occur, such as the bottom edge of the front teeth.


In view of these discoveries, researchers suggested to inquire about the use of electronic cigarettes to patients as part of the collection of medical history. The CDC reports that this also includes pediatric dentists, because the number of middle school students and high school students using electronic cigarettes in the United States is very high, reaching 7.6%in 2021.


In addition, researchers believe that patients using electronic cigarettes should follow stricter dental caries management schemes, which may include fluoride toothpaste and fluorine -containing mouthwash, office fluoride applications and more dental examinations.


"Managing dental caries requires a lot of time and money, depending on its severity," Dr. Irusa commented. "This is a vicious circle that will not stop."


The research entitled "Comparison of dental caries with electronic cigarettes or electronic cigarettes and patients who do not use electronic cigarettes: a research on a horizontal section" was published in the magazine of the American Dental Association in December 2022.
