Abstract
Background
Vaping is prevalent among youth, but its effects on oral health remain poorly understood. Exposure to harmful chemicals and nicotine during this critical developmental period raises concerns for long-term oral health impacts.
Aim
This scoping review synthesizes available evidence regarding oral health related outcomes of e-cigarette use in youth.
Design
An electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science for studies examining associations between vaping and oral health in people aged 12 to 24 years. Studies were limited to English, with no date restrictions. Title and abstracts were screened, with full-text review by two independent reviewers. Data extraction was completed by one reviewer and reviewed by all team members. Results were reported according to PRIMSA-ScR.
Results
Seven studies met inclusion criteria. Associations between vaping and dental caries, xerostomia, gingival conditions, oral lesions, and fractured teeth were observed. Alterations to salivary and microflora composition were also reported. Despite these risks, knowledge of the adverse effects of vaping among youth was low.
Conclusion
Although vaping is associated with various negative oral health-related outcomes in young people, the evidence is limited. Longitudinal studies with objective clinical measures are required to further clarify harm in this population.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry was formed in 1991 by the merger of the Journals of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry and the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and is published bi-monthly. It has true international scope and aims to promote the highest standard of education, practice and research in paediatric dentistry world-wide.
International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry publishes papers on all aspects of paediatric dentistry including: growth and development, behaviour management, diagnosis, prevention, restorative treatment and issue relating to medically compromised children or those with disabilities. This peer-reviewed journal features scientific articles, reviews, case reports, clinical techniques, short communications and abstracts of current paediatric dental research. Analytical studies with a scientific novelty value are preferred to descriptive studies. Case reports illustrating unusual conditions and clinically relevant observations are acceptable but must be of sufficiently high quality to be considered for publication; particularly the illustrative material must be of the highest quality.
