The impact of electronic cigarette smoking on periodontal status and proinflammatory cytokine levels: a cross-sectional study
This study revealed that E-cigs smoking had a negative effect on periodontal status (especially PPD, CAL and MBL). These results may contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and tissue destruction. Efforts must be made to educate and create awareness among patients and the general community regarding the risks associated with E-cigs usage especially in young populations.
