Abstract
Periodontal disease is a common oral inflammatory condition, and it is attributed to specific risk factors that negatively impact periodontal tissues. This study seeks to investigate whether there is a significant association between the use of electronic cigarettes and the prevalence of periodontal disease, specifically plaque-induced gingivitis, in young adults. Our key goals include assessing how common e-cigarette usage and evaluating whether there is any correlation between vaping and its impact on the prevalence of plaque-induced gingivitis is among young adults aged between 18 and 35. Additionally, an oral examination and the Turesky plaque index scoring scheme to identify any existing correlation between the use of e-cigarettes and its potential relationship with the prevalence of plaque-induced gingivitis amongst young adults.
Keywords: Electronic cigarettes, periodontal disease, plaque-induced gingivitis, Turesky plaque index, vaping
