Oral health effects of non‑combustible nicotine products: a systematic review and network meta‑analysis of randomized controlled trials
Objectives
To evaluate the oral adverse effects of non-combustible nicotine products (NCNPs) compared with each other, placebo, standard of care, no treatment and combustible cigarettes through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Data sources and study selection
Randomized controlled trials involving adult smokers and reporting oral adverse events (e.g., mouth irritation, dry mouth, aphthous ulcers) were included. PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched up to August 2024. Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2, and evidence certainty with CINeMA.
Results
Thirty-six trials were included, with 21 contributing to the network meta-analysis. Most comparisons with placebo showed no significant differences across four primary outcomes. The odds of developing aphthous ulcers were significantly higher in the nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) gum group compared with standard of care (OR = 2.36; 95 % CI: 1.05–5.30). Higher odds of mouth irritation were also observed for e-cig (OR = 4.06; 95 % CI: 1.67–9.85), NRT mouth spray (OR = 4.36; 95 % CI: 1.14–16.63), NRT gum (OR = 4.25; 95 % CI: 1.51–11.94) and snus (OR = 13.56; 95 % CI: 1.07–171.52) when compared with standard of care. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the main findings. Secondary outcomes revealed isolated associations but were based on limited data. Evidence certainty was low to very low due mainly to imprecision and risk of bias.
Conclusions
NCNPs appear to be generally well tolerated. Most placebo comparisons showed no increased risk, although some products exhibited higher odds of aphthous ulcers and mouth irritation compared with standard of care. Better reporting of oral adverse events in RCTs is needed.
Clinical significance
Given the current limitations of the evidence base, dental professionals should play an active role in tobacco harm reduction strategies by monitoring oral health during NCNP use and supporting product choice based on safety, tolerability, and individual patient needs.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
