Literature review reveals vaping prompts inflammatory changes and worsens clinical attachment loss in periodontitis.

The aim is to analyze the impact of vaping, specifically e-cigarettes, on periodontal health and associated mechanisms.
Conducted a literature review on the effects of vaping and periodontitis using PubMed/MEDLINE
Included in-vitro studies, clinical trials, reviews, and meta-analyses published between 2010 and 2025
Selected articles primarily focusing on ENDS and periodontal health
Evidence indicates vaping induces oxidative stress and inflammation
Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-α are elevated in ENDS users
Vaping disrupts oral microbiota, enhancing pathogenic species like Prevotella and Fusobacterium
Users experience increased clinical attachment loss compared to non-users
Biofilm indices and probing depths are higher, while bleeding on probing is reduced.

A 2025 study studied this question.
