Alveolar bone loss and tooth loss in male cigar and pipe smokers
Article Abstract:
Cigar and pipe smoking can have adverse effects on teeth. Researchers measured bone loss in 690 men every three years over a 23-year period. Cigar, cigarette, and pipe smokers were more likely to lose teeth than non-smokers. They were also more likely to lose bone than non-smokers. Smokers were no more likely to develop gingivitis or periodontal disease than non-smokers.
