- Abstract
(1) Background: Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDSs) are rapidly increasing in the U.S., however, information about their long-term risks and benefits remains limited. This study examined the relationship between ENDS use and periodontal health among U.S. adults. (2) Methods: Data came from 33,822 adults who participated in the 2016–2018 wave of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) study. Inclusion criteria were adults without a history of cigarette smoking or diabetes. Logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the associations between ENDS use and a history of periodontal disease, with multivariable logistic regression adjusting for factors associated with poor oral health. (3) Results: Of the study participants, 2321 were never ENDS users, 38 were regular ENDS users, and 512 were non-regular ENDS users. Compared to never ENDS users, regular ENDS users had higher odds of poor periodontal health including bone loss around teeth. Regular ENDS use was also independently associated with higher odds of poor oral health compared to non-regular ENDS users. (4) Conclusions: This study suggests an association between ENDS use and increased risk of periodontal health issues in the United States. These findings align with previous research linking ENDS use to poor oral health.
