“…The increased use of e-cigarettes in recent years is controversial as it is unclear if they result in tobacco cessation 11. Smoking cessation interventions delivered by dental teams are seen to be effective in studies 45. Few studies examine effectiveness of smoking cessation intervention in head and neck cancer survivors specifically.…”

“…Previous research found that smoking dentists are less likely to be engaged in tobacco cessation. In the last 15-20 years more studies have been conducted to address the role of dentists in preventing smoking and encouraging patients to quit 11 . Studies that investigated this aspect of dental practice also aimed at understanding the barriers that may impede this vital role of dentists.…”

INTRODUCTION This study aims to explore the smoking prevalence among a sample of dentists working in two Gulf countries, and to assess the association between smoking habit and socioprofessional factors affecting their attitude towards tobacco cessation activities, including barriers that prevent them from practicing such activities. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, online questionnaire-based, survey among dentists from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, during summer 2016. The questionnaire consisted of questions on socio-professional characteristics, tobacco use and attitudes towards the adoption of tobacco cessation programs in dental practices. The questionnaire also enquired about the barriers to adoption of tobacco cessation. Descriptive statistics were used to describe demographic and smoking characteristics while cross tabulation with chi-square test was used to find out statistical significance of association between the groups (P 0.05). RESULTS A total number of 466 responses were included in statistical analysis with 286 males (61.4%) and 180 females (38.6%), age ranged from 23 to 79 years (mean=32.7 9.32). Most of the sample (N=437, 93.8%) indicated that the dentist has a vital role in educating patients on the health hazards of smoking. A positive attitude toward adoption of tobacco cessation campaigns was associated with older, more experienced, medically compromised, non-smoker dentists. The most frequently cited barrier to tobacco cessation was lack of time (39.2%). CONCLUSIONS Dentists who smoke are less likely to adopt smoking cessation campaigns in their clinics. More experienced dentists and those older than 40 years are more likely to engage in smoking cessation activities.

“…It therefore seems prudent to target young adult non-smokers in initiating the habit and to help quit smokers who have only recently taken up the habit. Authors confirm that quitting smoking helps reduce the risk of oral cancer by 50% in five years 8 and reduction of up to 12% in the number of cases of the destructive periodontal disease. 9 Owing to this significant impact on both oral and periodontal health, this study is aimed at reviewing the impact of tobacco use on periodontal tissues, the impact of smoking cessation to improve periodontal health and to benefit from the results of periodontal treatment.…”

Tobacco use persists as a chronic global public health concern. The deadly habit affects almost all organs of the body including the oral and periodontal structures. Smoking is established as one of the major preventable etiological risk factors for the initiation and progression of periodontitis. The habit dependence typically requires a continuous assessment and repeated intervention. Emerging evidence has suggested the benefit of smoking cessation on periodontal health that trends for greater probing depth reductions and a favorable response to treatment outcomes. The dental settings are now increasingly being recognized as a place to target patients to quit or even prevent the initiation of smoking habit. The dental practitioner and the periodontal specialist may, therefore play a pivotal role by the inclusion of smoking cessation programs in their daily practice and reduce the major risk involving oral tissues and the systemic health. This review addresses the impact of smoking on periodontal tissues, the effect of smoking cessation protocols to improve periodontal health and the role of professionals in cessation.
