“…This dissolves the blood clot releasing kinins which cause pain. Cigarette smoking has been shown to increase the rate of dry socket in some studies, 3,20 although this was not a significant factor in our study probably because patients were warned not to smoke during the immediate post-operative period. The effect of tobacco smoking may be related to the cytotoxicity of the smoke, the systemic effects of nicotine, or the reduced oxygenation of the healing tissues caused by the carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke.…”

Objective The purpose of the study was to determine if the intra-alveolar application of topical metronidazole gel could reduce the incidence of alveolar osteitis (dry socket) following routine tooth extraction in molar and premolar extraction sites. Design This was a multicentre, double blind, randomised, placebocontrolled clinical trial. A total of 302 patients took part, of which 23 returned with alveolar osteitis. Of these, eight had received the metronidazole gel and 15 the placebo. Setting The study was carried out in three general dental practices by general dental practitioners working in England over the period [2000][2001][2002][2003]. Main outcome measures Following extraction of either a molar or premolar tooth, either a 25% metronidazole gel or KY Jelly was syringed gently into the socket. A painful post operative complication was recorded if either a dry socket was present or the patient returned with pain. Results and conclusions The difference in the incidence of alveolar osteitis between the placebo and the active gel groups was not significant and it was concluded that 25% topical metronidazole gel was not effective in reducing the incidence of alveolar osteitis. It was found that the incidence of alveolar osteitis reduced with increasing age and was more likely to occur in a patient with a previous history of the condition.

“…Waterpipe use likely increases the risk of bronchogenic carcinoma (Nafae, Misra, Dhar, & Shah, 1973), as well as lung (Gupta et al, 2001;Rakower & Fatal, 1962), oral (El-Hakim & Uthman, 1999), and bladder (Bedwani et al, 1997;Roohullah, Nusrat, Hamdani, Burdy, & Khurshid, 2001) cancers. Waterpipe use also is associated with decreased pulmonary function (Al-Fayez, Salleh, Ardawi, & Zahran, 1988;Kiter, Ucan, Ceylan, & Kilinc, 2000;Salem & Sami, 1974), markers of atherosclerosis (Ashmawi, 1993) and coronary heart disease (Jabbour, El-Roueiheb, & Sibai, 2003), oral disease (Al-Belasy, 2004;Natto, Baljoon, & Bergstrom, 2005), and low birth weight among infants of women who use it while pregnant (Nuwayhid, Yamout, Azar, & Kambris, 1998). In addition, sharing of waterpipes is associated with the spread of infectious diseases such as Helicobacter pylori (El-Barrawy, Morad, & Gaber, 1997) and tuberculosis (Munckhof et al, 2003;Salem & Sami, 1974); this is especially worrisome given that the vast majority of users in the present study reported usually sharing the same waterpipe with others.…”

Waterpipe smoking, a traditional method of tobacco use, has experienced a resurgence in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent in recent years. Despite growing evidence of its dependence potential and health-damaging effects, waterpipe use has spread beyond these regions to many other countries, including the United States. Because little is known about waterpipe use in the United States, we surveyed convenience samples of users from two U.S. cities, Richmond, Virginia (n = 109), and Memphis, Tennessee (n = 34). Respondents in both cities were primarily young adults, a majority (75%) were men, and most were college students or had a college degree. Initial and current use usually occurred in a social context, with a group of friends in a cafe or restaurant or at home. Most respondents had smoked waterpipe for 2 or fewer years, and 67% currently smoked at least once a month (22% smoked at least once per week and 10% smoked daily). Most believed waterpipe use to be less addictive and harmful than cigarette smoking, believed they could quit use at any time, but had no plans or desire to quit. A majority of respondents used other tobacco products such as cigarettes, and 35% of those who did not smoke cigarettes said they would "probably" or "definitely" smoke one in the next year. Multivariate correlates of greater frequency of use included younger age at first use, ownership of a waterpipe, use occurring primarily with groups of friends, and the perception of being "hooked." Waterpipe users in these two convenience samples from the United States were young and educated, tended to experiment with multiple forms of tobacco, were unaware of the potentially harmful and addictive properties of waterpipe use, and planned to continue use in the future. Educational efforts are needed to increase awareness of the potential hazards of this increasingly popular form of tobacco use.

Methods:In May 2015 we electronically searched the following databases with no date restrictions: MEDLINE, EMBASE and ISI the Web of Science using a detailed search strategy with no language restrictions. We also screened references lists of included studies. We also screened the references lists of the included studies. We included cohort, case-control and crosssectional studies, and excluded case reports, conference abstracts, editorials and reviews. We excluded studies not conducted in humans, assessing physiological outcomes, not distinguishing waterpipe tobacco smoking from other forms of smoking, and not reporting association measures. We assessed risk of bias for each included study and conducted meta-analyses for each of the outcomes of interest. Results:We identified 50 eligible studies. We found that waterpipe tobacco smoking was significantly associated with respiratory diseases (COPD odds ratio (OR)= 3.18, 95% CI= 1.25, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 Conclusions:There is accumulating evidence about the association of waterpipe tobacco smoking with a growing number of health outcomes.
