“…This finding agrees with those of several earlier studies [1][2][3][4]6,8,11,15,16,22,23) . From cross-sectional epidemiological observations, Bergström 6) found that subjects with lifelong exposure to smoking had on average lost a greater number of teeth compared with subjects with low exposure to smoking.…”

The purpose of this study was to obtain percentile curves for present teeth in smokers and non-smokers for use in oral health education. Dental examinations were carried out by two dentists. The number of present teeth in each subject was counted, excluding the third molars. Subjects consisted of 2,283 men aged between 25 and 54 years enrolled in the health insurance union of a bank in Yokohama, Japan. Each subject completed a questionnaire on smoking habits and number of cigarettes smoked. They were classified into two groups: smokers and non-smokers. The mean number of present teeth in both groups was compared with the Mann-Whitney's U test. Smokers had fewer teeth than non-smokers in all age groups (pϽ0.05). At the age of 50, the 50th percentile for present teeth was 26 for smokers and 27 for non-smokers. However, the 3rd percentile for smokers' present teeth was 20.5 at 40 years of age and 14 at 50 years of age, while for non-smokers it was 22.5 at 40 years of age and 19 at 50 years of age. The 3rd percentile curve for smokers' present teeth decreased in those aged 45 years and over. The percentile curves in this analysis showed a clear difference between the two groups. These data should be made available for use in adult oral health education.

Relationship between Receiving a Workplace Oral Health Examination Including Oral Health Instruction and Oral Health Status in the Japanese Adult Population: Tadaaki Oshikohji, et al. Section of Preventive and Public Health Dentistry, Division of Oral Health, Growth and Development, Kyushu University Faculty of Dental Science— Objectives Dental caries and periodontal disease are highly prevalent in the Japanese adult population. Oral examination is an effective method to ind various oral health problems in their early stages. However, workplace oral examination is not common in Japan. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between receiving workplace oral health examination, including oral health instruction, and oral health status in the Japanese adult population. Methods This study was performed using data from 4,484 Japanese employees aged 35–74 yr. The proportion of teeth with a probing depth (PD) ≥4 mm and the number of decayed teeth were used for periodontal disease and dental caries parameters. The subjects were asked by questionnaire about past experiences with workplace oral health examination. Results The subjects who Received a workplace oral health examination every year had better periodontal health status than those receiving an examination for the irst time. The odds ratio for having ≥10% of teeth with PD ≥4 mm in the subjects who Received workplace oral health examination every year was 0.63 (p<0.05) after adjustment for age, sex, smoking habits, tooth brushing habits, routine visits to dental clinics, number of missing teeth, and oral hygiene status, in a multivariate, multinomial logistic regression analysis. On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between workplace oral health examination and number of decayed teeth. Conclusions These results suggest that workplace oral health examination accompanied by oral health instruction may be effective for maintenance of periodontal health.

“…Cigar smoke contains significantly higher concentrations of toxic and carcinogenic compounds than cigarettes (Baker et al, 2000). Compared with never smokers, pipe and cigar smokers have been found to be at significantly higher risk for a variety of health problems including coronary heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, bladder cancer, periodontal disease, and tooth loss (Albandar, Streckfus, Adesanya, & Winn, 2000;Boffetta et al, 1999;Higgins, Mahan, & Wynder, 1988;Jacobs, Thun, & Apicella, 1999;Krall, Garvey, & Garcia, 1999;Pitard et al, 2001;Shaper et al, 2003;Shapiro, Jacobs, & Thun, 2000;Wald & Watt, 1997).…”

Recent evidence suggests that the popularity of certain alternative forms of tobacco may be increasing in adolescents. Little is known, however, about the use of these products among young adults. This study examined the use of alternative tobacco products including bidis, cigars, kreteks (clove cigarettes), pipes, and smokeless tobacco in a large sample of young adult military recruits (N=31107). Overall, 18.5% of participants were using some form of alternative tobacco product prior to entry into Basic Military Training. Results revealed a relatively high prevalence of cigar (12.3%) and smokeless tobacco use (6.7%). Use of other products was less common, including 1.1% for pipes, 2.0% for bidis, and 3.0% for kreteks. With the exception of kreteks, which did not differ by gender, the prevalence of use of alternative tobacco products was greater for males than for females ( p<. 001). Patterns of use also differed according to other demographic characteristics including race, ethnicity, age, and income. Implications for surveillance and tobacco control efforts are discussed.
