Impactos do Narguilé e dos Dispositivos Eletrônicos de Fumo Sobre a Condição Oral e Maxilofacial

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of hookah and electronic smoking devices has catalyzed the creation of this e-book, which emerges as a collaborative effort among dental researchers spanning several Brazilian states. The content is partitioned into 13 chapters, systematically delving into the intricacies that underlie the management of these practices, thereby providing an exhaustive comprehension crucial for both prospective healthcare practitioners and established professionals. The book meticulously scrutinizes the repercussions of these behaviors on public and individual health, with a specific focus on alterations within the oral and maxillofacial region. Given this context, it becomes imperative to acknowledge the historical and cultural influences surrounding smoking and the precise hazards it poses to oral and systemic well-being. Furthermore, the text underscores the dearth of regulation and awareness pertaining to these products, accentuating the pressing imperative for the implementation of public health policies to curtail their consumption. Consequently, the book functions as an exhaustive manual for healthcare professionals and the wider populace, elucidating the authentic threats to oral and maxillofacial structures attributable to the utilization of hookah and electronic smoking devices.
