Tar is the common name for the resinous, partially combusted particulate matter produced by the burning of tobacco and other plant material in the act of smoking. Tar is toxic and damages the smoker's lungs over time through various biochemical and mechanical processes. Tar also damages the mouth by rotting and blackening teeth, damaging gums, and desensitizing taste buds. Tar includes the majority of mutagenic and carcinogenic agents in tobacco smoke . Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) eg . Benzopyrene Tar :
Saliva,caries , staining of tooth,halitosis,abrasion,erosion,plaque Periodontal dz , keratosis, acanthosis OPMD Cancer Increasing exposure of tobacco and increasing time
Increase salivation Taste Derangement Halitosis Staining of teeth and restorations Increase in blood pressure Immediate Effects : Caries Abrasion Erosion Others :
Damage to gingiva and alveolar bone : Gingivitis Periodontitis Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis Delayed alveolar wound healing Oral Potentially Malignant Disease : Leukoplakia Erythroplakia Oral Lichen Planus
Damage to gingiva and alveolar bone : Gingivitis Periodontitis Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis Delayed alveolar wound healing Others : Caries Abrasion Erosion
Nicotine Palatinus (stomatitis) : Also k/a smoker’s palate It is inflammation of mouth and lips with or without oral ulceration Mainly cause due to high temperature rather than the chemical composition of the smoke Doesn’t appear to have premalignant nature
Smokeless Tobacco Keratosis : Also k/a Snuff Pouch, Snuff Dipper’s Lesion, Tobacco Pouch Keratosis. Presence of thin , gray or gray-white, almost translucent plaque With a border blending gradually into surrounding mucosa. Altered mucosa with soft velvety on palpation and pouch on stretching.
Smoker’s Melanosis : Brown to black pigmentation of oral tissue. Most often seen in lower labial gingiva process completely.
Hairy Tongue : Marked accumulation of keratin on the filiform papillae with hair like appearance. Cause d/t decrease in normal keratin desquamation or increase in keratin production.
Leukoedema : Diffuse, gray white, milky, opalescent appearance of mucosa. Surface : appears folded resulting in wrinkles or whitish streaks. Usually bilateral presentation. Lesion do not rub off.
Oral cancer : Is a type of head and neck cancer 11 th most common cancer of the world. May originate in any of the tissue of mouth. Histologic types : Teratoma Adenocarcinoma Lymphoma Melanoma
Role of Tobacco in cancer :
ANUG is strongly correlated with tobacco use. 98% of ANUG patients are smokers, and persons who smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day have a tenfold increase in ANUG prevalence. It occurs most frequently in teenagers and young adults and may result from defective neutrophil function allowing bacterial and possibly viral (cytomegalovirus) invasion of gingival tissues. The vaso -constrictive action of nicotine and other tobacco components is thought to contribute strongly to the painful tissue necrosis and ulceration seen in this disease. Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis :
HALITOSIS : Both smoked and smokeless tobacco usage produce unpleasant breath odors or "bad breath". With smoking the halitosis is produced predominantly by the retention and subsequent exhalation of inhaled smoke in the lungs. Pipe and cigar tobacco contains more sulfur than cigarettes, hence users tend to have a more offensive halitosis than cigarette smokers.
5 A’S ASK-patients about their use of tobacco at every visit. ADVICE- Non users to never use tobacco and users to quit. ASSESS- Patient's readiness to quit ASSIST- With quitting ARRANGE- For follow ups Guide to counselling for tobacco cessation:
