Tobacco Use and Its Effect on Dental Extraction: A Review

Abstract

This topic gives an over view on effect of tobacco use and its effect on dental extraction.

Smoking most often results in discolorations of teeth and dental restorations. Oral Halitosis, diminished taste and smell acuity are common side effects of smoking.⁽¹⁾

Periodontal disease is increased in both prevalence and severity in smoking individuals. Smoking cessation may halt disease progression and improve the outcome of not only periodontal treatment, overall dental procedures.
