Smoking has detrimental oral effects. The aim of this study was to review the literature related to the impact of smoking cessation on periodontal health, periodontal disease and periodontal treatment outcome as well as to review the smoking cessation strategies and the dentist's role in the smoking cessation effort. Smoking cessation seems to have a positive effect on the periodontium, to decrease the risk for incidence and progression of periodontitis and to lead to a non-significant trend for greater mean probing depth reductions after non-surgical treatment over a 12-month period. Smoking cessation effect on the periodontium should be further investigated. Dentists should inform their patients on the harmful effect of smoking and the beneficial effect of smoking cessation on oral health. They should advise, motivate and support their patients to quit smoking. Smoking-control strategies should be incorporated in dental practise. The dentist's role in the smoking cessation effort is important. Guidelines on smoking-control strategies applied in the dental office are required.

“…The demonstration of a cause-effect relationship between oral alterations and tobacco use and the benefits of dental treatment may encourage patients to quit smoking. Interventions performed by oral health professionals are effective and can improve the knowledge about the risks of smoking and increase tobacco abstinence rates [14,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

24 ResumoObjetivo: O uso do tabaco é a principal causa de doenças evitáveis no mundo. A consulta odontológica representa uma oportunidade de abordar os fumantes no controle do uso do tabaco. Embora esta conclusão seja bem conhecida, a intervenção para cessação tabágica entre dentistas permanece menos explorada do que o esperado. Este estudo avaliou artigos publicados sobre intervenções entre dentistas e profissionais de saúde dentária na cessação do tabagismo e discute as barreiras a serem superadas para atingir esse objetivo. Material e Métodos: As bases de dados Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, LILACS e Google Scholar foram pesquisadas por artigos publicados em inglês entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2016 usando os seguintes termos MeSH: tobacco use cessation, smoking cessation, tobacco use disorder and dentistry. A busca manual complementar para potenciais artigos foi feita verificando-se referências bibliográficas. Resultados: setenta e duas publicações foram elegíveis e os resultados foram divididos em oito categorias: 1) o papel dos dentistas no controle do uso do tabaco; 2) conhecimento sobre tratamento e intervenções sobre uso do tabaco; 3) características da abordagem do dentista aos fumantes; 4) barreiras e facilitadores; 5) intervenções futuras para cessação do tabagismo, 6) reembolso de intervenções de tabaco, 7) pesquisas e 8) revisões sistemáticas e diretrizes. Conclusão: Os dentistas desempenham um papel importante na prevenção e controle do tabagismo. O treinamento na cessação do uso do tabaco tem aumentado nas últimas décadas. Ensinar a lidar com o tabagismo em cursos de graduação deve ser uma prioridade para os próximos anos, de modo que uma nova geração de dentistas incorpore ABsTRACTObjective: Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness in the world. The dental office represents an opportunity to smokers approach tobacco use control.

This study evaluated published articles about interventions delivered by dentists and dental healthcare professionals on smoking cessation and discusses the barriers to be overcome to achieve this goal. Material and Methods: The Medline (PubMed), Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Reviews, LILACS and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles published in English between January 2010 and December 2016 using the following MeSH terms keywords: tobacco use cessation, smoking cessation, tobacco use disorder and dentistry. Complementary hand searching was done checking bibliographic references for potentially articles. Results: Seventy-two publications were eligible and the results were divided into eight categories: 1) the role of dentists in tobacco use control; 2) knowledge about tobacco use treatment and interventions; 3) characteristics of the dentist's approach to smokers; 4) barriers and facilitators; 5) future interventions for smoking cessation, 6) reimbursement for tobacco intervention...

Objectives Betel quid (BQ) chewing is extremely prominent in South and Southeast Asia because it considered by users to be of social, cultural and religious importance. BQ chewing has been recognized as a risk factor for oral premalignant lesions and oral cancer. Because BQ chewing has become a severe health risk in Taiwan, the development of prevention and cessation programmes is essential. The purpose of this study was to explore the attitudes and perceptions associated with BQ consumption and its oral health implications in an attempt to inform the development of health promotion initiatives and BQ cessation efforts in Taiwan, where the dental profession could have a pivotal role in preventing and controlling BQ use among persons at risk. Methods This qualitative study used data gathered from focus groups and individual interviews. A convenience sample of 41 adults from Jhushan and Lugu Townships (Nantou County) and Taichung City, Taiwan, participated in this study (27 men, 14 women; 31 Han, 10 aboriginals from the Paiwan tribe; mean age 40.3, SD 9.2 years). Results Among the seven themes that emerged from the original study, five (Initiation, Health Risk Perception, Health Consequences, Withdrawal Symptoms and Help from Healthcare Providers) had oral/dental implications. Conclusions Our study highlights research areas relevant to further investigation, such as incorporating brief BQ prevention and cessation counselling when early oral and dental signs associated with BQ consumption are detected. Undertaking behavioural interventions in dental settings might help to reduce the prevalence of BQ chewing in Taiwan.
