Abstract:
Dental caries is a prevalent condition afecting children and adolescents, influenced by multiple factors. The increasing use of electronic cigarettes (ECs) among younger populations raises concerns about their potential impact on oral health. Objective: To evaluate the association between EC use and the development of dental caries by analyzing relevant studies. Methods: An electronic search was conducted in Medline (PubMed), Scopus, and Embase databases to identify studies examining the relationship between ECs and dental caries. Studies were selected based on relevance, focusing on EC liquid composition and aerosol efects on dental health. Results: A total of 12 studies were reviewed. Findings suggest that certain components of e-liquids, including cariogenic carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, sucrose) and aldehydes, contribute to dental caries. Flavoring agents such as strawberry, cinnamon, and menthol also play a role in enamel demineralization. Additionally, EC aerosol exposure has been linked to an increase in caries development. Conclusion: EC use may contribute to an increased risk of dental caries due to the presence of cariogenic substances in e-liquids and their impact on oral health. However, further clinical trials are required to establish a definitive causal relationship.
