Evaluation of Periodontal Health Among Cigarette, Electronic Cigarettes, and Narghile Smokers Among a Sample of Alhawsh Private University Students
Evaluation of Periodontal Health Among Cigarette, Electronic Cigarettes, and Narghile Smokers Among a Sample of Alhawsh Private University Students
This study compares the different effects of traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and narghile on periodontal health among a sample of Al-Hawash Private University students. The main question it aims to answer is: Are there statistically significant differences in periodontal parameters among different types of smokers?
The emergence of e-cigarettes and the increasing popularity of hookah smoking, alongside traditional cigarette use, have created a complex health landscape, particularly regarding periodontal health. Despite growing global awareness of smoking-related dangers, particularly among young people due to marketing of "safer" alternatives, there is a lack of research directly comparing the effects of these three smoking methods on periodontal tissues.
While research extensively covers the impact of smoking on periodontal tissues, despite the individual studies on each type of smoking, no study has directly compared the effects of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and hookah on periodontal health in the same population.
Aim: study and compare the different effects of traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and narghile on periodontal health among a sample of students at Al-Hawash Private University.
