“…Young non-smokers, IQOS ® users, or cigarette smokers should be properly informed and educated about the benefits of non-smoking by general health or dental practitioners because they can be easily misled by well-thought-out marketing of the tobacco industry. Reduced risks of periodontal disease, enhanced healing and recovery of the periodontium, and improved esthetics of the teeth with regard to discoloration of teeth, gums, and bad breath are all key arguments to encourage non-smokers to remain non-smokers and smokers to abandon their bad habit [4,30].…”

Tobacco heating systems (THS) are new products on the market, advertised as a less harmful alternative for smokers, in which tobacco is heated and not burned like in conventional cigarettes. This research explored the effect on periodontal tissues in contact with heating and burning tobacco residual products (smoke and tobacco). Methods: The sample included 66 subjects, patients of the Clinic of Dentistry in Rijeka, Croatia, aged 26–56 (median 38), 64% females. Three age- and gender-matched groups were formed (each N = 22): non-smokers, classic cigarettes smokers and THS smokers. Probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) were primary research parameters. Results: Three groups differed in average PD and CAL (p ≤ 0.002), with cigarette smokers having the highest and non-smokers the lowest values (p ≤ 0.002). THS consumers generally had lower values of periodontal indices than smokers, but only CAL differed significantly (p = 0.011). Periodontal indices CAL and PD were worse in THS consumers than non-smokers, but they did not reach a level of statistical significance. Cigarette smoking was the only predictor of periodontitis (average CAL ≥ 4 mm) in logistic regression models, with an odds ratio of 4.7 (95% confidence interval 1.2–18.3; p = 0.027). Conclusions: Exposure to nicotine-containing aerosol of THS in adults has a less harmful effect on periodontal tissues, measurable through periodontal indices (PD and CAL), compared to burning tobacco of conventional cigarettes. THS, presented as an alternative product to classic cigarettes, also has a detrimental effect on the periodontium.

“…More than half of the study population exhibited the adverse habit of chewing tobacco and gutkha, indicating that people were not aware of the harmful effects of tobacco. Tobacco contains a harmful chemical called nicotine, which has adverse effects on oral health [ 10 , 11 ]. The adverse effects include the development of periodontitis, halitosis, development of oral mucosal lesions, oral cancer, etc.…”

Background Dental diseases like caries, periodontal diseases, and oral mucosal lesions (OML) are common findings in rural adult populations that greatly impact their quality of life. Aim To assess OML, periodontal health conditions, and unmet dental treatment needs in the rural adult population in Jharkhand. Methodology A total of 700 permanent residents of Bero Block, Jharkhand, North India, in the age group of 35-44 years, participated in this cross-sectional study. Both men and women were equally represented. Their socio-demographic characteristics and previous dental visits were collected using standardized proforma. An assessment of periodontal health conditions, OML, and unmet dental treatment needs was done using the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Assessment Proforma of 1997. Results It was found that over half (54.3%) of the study population had the adverse habit of smoking and chewing paan . Males were more likely to experience leukoplakia (18.87%), whereas females were more likely to experience abscesses (9.43%). The majority of males and females had a community periodontal index (CPI) score and loss of attachment (LOA) score greater than two, which indicated poor periodontal health as assessed by the periodontal index. Both males and females needed extraction of the diseased teeth as their primary treatment. Conclusion The rural adult population residing in the Bero block of Jharkhand showed poor periodontal health and high unmet dental treatment needs. These people need effective oral health promotion policies and dental health education to improve their oral health.

“…In addition, blueberry extract has been shown to inhibit The Janus-Kinase signal transducer and the transcription activation pathway (JAK/STAT-3) signaling by modulating the downstream sites affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis in a hamster model of oral oncogenesis [ 120 ]. Therefore, due to the action of this phytochemical, it is possible to inhibit oral carcinogenesis by alcohol, which is an important inducing factor of this type of cancer that can contribute to the large number of people who regularly consume this substance [ 173 , 174 ]. Other studies have shown the chemopreventive capacity of grape wine in cells of the oral mucosa.…”

Background: Oral cancer has a high prevalence worldwide, and this disease is caused by genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. The main risk factors associated with oral cancer are smoking and alcohol. Results: There are various strategies to reduce risk factors, including prevention programs as well as the consumption of an adequate diet that includes phytochemical compounds derived from cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon A.) and blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.); these compounds exhibit antitumor properties. Results: The main outcome of this review is as follows: the properties of phytochemicals derived from cranberries were evaluated for protection against risk factors associated with oral cancer. Conclusions: The secondary metabolites of cranberries promote biological effects that provide protection against smoking and alcoholism. An alternative for the prevention of oral cancer can be the consumption of these cranberries and blueberries.
