Dental caries: the use of quantitative light-induced fluorescence as a method of early detection

“We conducted the first bibliometric review on the 100 most cited articles on the subject,” explains Giusy Rita Maria La Rosa, Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine at the University of Catania and researcher at CoEHAR. “The studies included in the review involved 160 authors from 29 different countries and were published across 45 journals. The publication period ranges from 1999 to 2020. The data we collected will provide the basis for a critical evaluation by doctors and researchers, promoting advancements in the management and treatment of widespread dental diseases such as caries".

HOW TO REDUCE THE HARM CAUSED BY CIGARETTE SMOKE ON ORAL HEALTH AND TEETH?

The data from these works as a whole can be used to assess the impact in terms of risk/benefit ratio of the regular use of combustion-free products, assisting the efforts of public health authorities in encouraging smokers to quit, especially those who perceive their smoke-damaged smile as a barrier to personal health or work and social relationships.

CoEHAR research reveals whiter teeth in former smokers using E-Cigarettes or Heated Tobacco Products than tobacco smokers 

The study marks the first of its kind, shedding light on a novel aspect of oral health among users of combustion-free nicotine products. These findings underscore the aesthetic benefits associated with ECs and HTPs use, signifying a significant departure from the well-known dental color implications of tobacco smoking. As patients increasingly prioritize aesthetics, evident in the growing prevalence of purely cosmetic dental procedures, and with smoking being a prevalent factor, this result serves as a compelling incentive to quit smoking.

CoEHAR study: smoking contributes to dental plaque and bad breath

Researchers compared measurements of dental plaque among current, former, and never smokers using an innovative light-induced fluorescence technology. Objective quantification of dental plaque was necessary to conduct reliable comparisons between smokers and non-smokers.
