Abstract(s)
O consumo de tabaco é um problema na saúde a nível mundial, pois é um fator de risco para inúmeras doenças como cancros, doenças pulmonares crónicas, entre outras e é um produto de venda publica (com restrição de idade) facilitando a sua compra e uso. A boca sendo a primeira parte do corpo a estar em contacto com os componentes gerados pela combustão do tabaco apresenta um grande risco de desenvolver consequências na saúde oral. Além das complicações orais e sistémicas causadas pelo tabaco, este tem uma grande componente aditiva associada a um dos seus constituintes, a nicotina. A nicotina causa a adição ao tabaco, e esta, juntamente com todos os restantes produtos formados na sua combustão causam então variadas doenças em conformidade com a quantidade consumida. Na tentativa de reduzir os efeitos nocivos e aditivos do tabaco convencional (cigarros), várias empresas integradas na indústria e produção têm vindo a desenvolver novos meios de distribuição de nicotina recorrendo a meios e tecnologias ditas como menos prejudiciais para a saúde. É nestas tecnologias que se encontra a vaporização de tabaco compreendida sob a forma dos cigarros eletrónicos (“E-Cigs”) e o mais recente desenvolvimento na área chamado de tabaco aquecido (“Heat not Burn”) apresentado em vários formatos e marcas sendo a mais predominante chamada “IQOS”. Atualmente estas inovações tecnológicas são vendidas e publicitadas alegando a redução da presença de componentes tóxicos, incluindo a nicotina. Das investigações conduzidas, até à data, é possível concluirmos que de facto existe uma redução na libertação de substâncias nocivas no aerossol destes sistemas, assim como uma redução nos parâmetros associados à doença periodontal em utilizadores dos mesmos, no entanto, ainda nos deparamos com uma quantidade potencialmente nociva, para a saúde oral, de componentes nocivos e de alterações a nível histológico na cavidade oral.
Tobacco consumption is a health problem worldwide, as it is a risk factor for numerous diseases such as cancers, chronic lung diseases, among others, and it is a public sale product (with age restrictions) facilitating its purchase and use. The mouth, being the first part of the body to be in contact with the components generated by the combustion of tobacco, presents a great risk to develop consequences in oral health. In addition to the oral and systemic complications caused by tobacco, it has a large addictive component associated with one of its constituents, nicotine. Nicotine causes addiction to tobacco, and this, together with all other products formed from its combustion, then cause various diseases according to the amount consumed. In an attempt to reduce the harmful effects and additives of conventional tobacco (cigarettes), several companies integrated in the industry and production have been developing new means of distributing nicotine using means and technologies said to be less harmful to health. It is in these technologies that tobacco vaporization is found in the form of electronic cigarettes (E-Cigs), and the most recent development in the area, called heated tobacco (“Heat not Burn”), presented in various formats and brands, the most predominantly called “IQOS”. Currently, these technological innovations are sold and advertised claiming to reduce the presence of toxic components, including those that cause addiction. From the investigations carried out to date, it is possible to conclude that in fact there is a reduction in the release of harmful substances in the aerosol of these systems, as well as a reduction in the parameters associated with periodontal disease in users of these systems, however, we are still faced with a potentially toxic amount, for oral health, of harmful components and histological alterations in the oral cavity.
