Item Impacto de los vaporizadores en la manifestación de alteraciones de la cavidad oral, una revisión bibliográfica(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Almendra Rivera, Daniela; Hernández Caicedo, Alexandra; Revelo Benavides, Leany Carolina; Arana Salas, Diana Andrea (Directora)The title of this monograph is “Impact of Vaporizers on Periodontal Health, a Literature Review.” The use of vaporizers and electronic cigarettes can have a negative impact on periodontal health, increasing the risk of diseases such as periodontitis. Although some devices claim to be nicotine-free, they have been found to have the substance, raising concerns about its long-term impact on oral health, both for users and people exposed to secondhand vapor. Studies show that the use of these devices can have detrimental effects on periodontal health, underscoring the importance of considering their impact on oral health. The general objective of this monograph is to evaluate the scientific evidence on the impact of vaporizers on periodontal health. The methodology used was a bibliographic search in databases such as PubMed; SciELO; Springer; Scopus; and Google Scholar. As a result, the information obtained from the reviewed studies showed that the use of electronic cigarettes can have negative effects on periodontal health, in particular, individuals who use these devices have a higher risk of developing dental plaque; probing depth; loss of dental attachment; bleeding gums and gingival inflammation. These findings suggest in conclusion that e-cigarette use may contribute to the development of periodontal disease, a condition that can lead to tooth loss.
