Material and methods: A cross sectional survey was conducted among 200 subjects visiting a satellite dental clinic of Swami Devi Dyal Hospital and Dental College, Barwala, Panchkula, India. Nicotine dependence was measured using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). The extent of the stress factors experienced at work was assessed using the Effort-Reward Imbalance scale (ERI). Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were employed for statistical analysis. Confidence level and level of significance were set at 95% and 5% respectively.
Patients who use cocaine illicitly present obstacles and potential challenges for the treating dental professional. There are many manifestations--both systemic and oral--that the dentist needs to be aware of to treat known abusers and to identify those who are not forthcoming about their cocaine use. Certain modifications to treatment, or even a delay in treatment, may be indicated in cocaine abusers.
Helping people to stop smoking is one of the most effective ways of preventing premature death and reducing health inequalities. One element of tobacco control is the provision of smoking cessation advice and support in clinical settings. Furthermore, medications are available on prescription to all smokers who want to stop tobacco habits.6
Evidence indicates that advice delivered through a dental practice is as effective as support provided by other primary care professionals. Second, dentists and their team members have access to a large proportion of the smoking population. Advice from dentists and other health care providers can be effective in motivating patients to quit smoking, and patients welcome such advice.4
Prior to the commencement of the main study, a pilot study was conducted among 30 participants to assess the feasibility of the study and sample size estimation. The sample size of 232 (116 interns and 116 PGs) was achieved by consecutive sampling in 10 dental colleges in Bangalore city.
A 25-item self-structured questionnaire was developed for data collection. The first part consisted of socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, year of study, specialty and whether the participants had attended any workshop on tobacco cessation. The second part consisted of items related to attitudes and practice in tobacco cessation counseling. The third part had items on practice, belief and challenges in prescribing NRT in dental practice.
The study was carried out by a single investigator during July-August 2014. Necessary permissions were taken from the administrative authorities of dental colleges. After obtaining informed consent and explaining the instructions to fill the questionnaire, the questionnaire was distributed to the eligible participants in the study groups (dental interns and PGs) during clinical hours. The completed questionnaire was collected from participants on the same day.
This study has revealed a stimulating array of issues in relation to tobacco cessation activity and NRT among interns and PGs in dental colleges, and, in particular, the barriers hindering this area of preventive care. To our knowledge, very few studies have reported tobacco cessation and NRT related practices and beliefs among dental students. The participants in this study are students from dental colleges whereas previous studies have been conducted to assess tobacco control related activities among dental practitioners. Hence, comparisons are done wherever possible.
For patients who use tobacco but are not ready to make a quit attempt, dental professionals should provide a brief intervention designed to promote the motivation to quit.7 Always giving advice to every tobacco user to quit tobacco habit was reported by 90.5% participants in the present study when compared to studies: 23.0,4 35.3,3 and 13.9 percent.9 Always assist patients by providing tobacco was reported by 49% respondents. This is in contrast to studies reported in the literature: 5.0,4 1.8,3 and 13.9 percent.9
Extensive experience with NRT in a clinical trial and observational study settings demonstrates that medicinal nicotine is a very safe drug.8 Always assisting patients by prescribing NRT was reported by 18.1% participants. This is in contrast to earlier findings reported in previous studies: 8.03 and 7.4%.4 This may suggest a favorable trend among future dental practitioners toward inclusion of tobacco cessation into practice.
Significant differences were seen with respect to practice scores regarding tobacco cessation and NRT between interns and PGs. This may be attributed to differences in duration of clinical hours available for interns and PGs. Evidence suggests, the amount of time spent on tobacco cessation counseling is correlated with effectiveness.3
This study identified some notable areas in relation to the barriers that limit greater involvement of interns and PGs in tobacco cessation and NRT. Lack of time, bitter taste, and cost of gums emerged as major barriers in smoking cessation activities, with no significant differences between interns and PGs. This indicates that the barrier persists despite differences in clinical practice between the study groups. This may be due to higher training and competence among PGs.
Future dental practitioners should realize that although cost is perceived by them as a barrier, evidence depicts that cost of a treatment episode is low and the benefits to health for each quitter so great; NRT has been identified as one of the most cost-effective life-preserving interventions available to medical science.8
This exploratory study adopted a cross-sectional research design to explore the scope and challenges in prescribing NRT for tobacco cessation. Evidence from cross-sectional designs is considered weaker owing to social desirability and central tendency bias while answering the questionnaire. Qualitative studies involving Focus group discussions are suggested for stronger evidence toward NRT prescription among dental professionals.
About a century ago, medical and dental professionals used cocaine in a lot of different products, Viola said. Many of these were "snake oil" before the government put food and drug safety guidelines into place. But the use of cocaine in dentistry was legitimate.
Cocaine's time in the dental pharmacology spotlight didn't last long, though. Soon, safer agents, such as procaine and Novocain, came along, Viola said. And once lidocaine was developed, the dental industry never looked back.
To prevent your teeth from gum diseases and staining, you need to visit your dentist regularly. Usually, routine dental cleaning can cost you an average of $75-$200 per visit to the clinic.
The cost of dental whitening may vary from patient to patient and the procedures followed by your dentist. In-office teeth whitening is the most effective way to remove nicotine stains from teeth and is worth the investment.
To remove hard nicotine stains, you can try the various remedies mentioned above in the comfort of your home. However, if you want a permanent solution, then we suggest you visit our dental clinic in Norwood, MN.
Nicotine pouches provide a source of nicotine but without the main constituent of carcinogen-associated tobacco.1,2Nicotine pouches have becoming increasingly popular in the UK since they entered the market in 2019 and are most prevalent among smokers.3 It is of increasing importance for clinicians to have an awareness of such products and their possible implications on oral and general health. This paper will aim to summarise for the dental team the biological, public health, regulatory and clinical aspects of nicotine pouches.
In addition to nicotine, approximately 80-90% of a nicotine pouch is made up of water and microcrystalline cellulose contained within a permeable pouch, which acts as the non-tobacco substrate. Other ingredients, such as additives and flavourings, are also present at food-grade standard and are sold in a variety of fruit and other flavours, such as mint and coffee.4,7 Nicotine pouches generally contain artificial sweeteners rather than sugars and so pose little direct risk of the development of dental caries.8 Nicotine pouches are readily available across the UK for a relatively small cost of around 5-6.50 per pack as of March 2023.9 They are sold in a small container consisting of approximately 20 pouches, as shown in Figure 2.
Interestingly, nicotine has been shown to have angiogenic effects (growing new blood vessels), the opposite to what we observe with tobacco use. Theoretically, this could have wound healing properties, but also, it could also facilitate growth of existing tumours, although this is not supported by clinical data.21
Nicotine pouches are a new product that the dental professional should be aware of, particularly in smokers and ex-smokers. They are likely to have a relatively low-risk profile, similar to other forms of orally administered nicotine; however, the prolonged and regular use may give increased risk of local oral problems. Further research is required.
Smoking and vaping cause many health issues, even terminal health conditions. Using nicotine daily dehydrates your mouth, resulting in problems such as dry mouth and foul breath. Dehydration also increases plaque and tartar buildup in your mouth, which leads to tooth damage and other dental health issues.
Arden Dental Care in Sacramento, California, uses advanced dental technology to treat our patients' oral health conditions. Dr. Poornima Talluri, our ADA-certified dentist, provides high-quality dental care in a relaxing and friendly setting.
If you smoke or vape, consider reducing your intake or possibly quitting altogether to safeguard your dental and general health. Alternatively, have frequent cleanings and examinations to be informed about the health of your teeth and gums.
