Electronic cigarettes have already become a popular alternative to traditional smoking, especially among young people. Numerous studies have determined that electronic cigarettes have an impact on the body as a whole and on the dental status as well. Analysis of scientific data indicates that e-cigarette aerosols can potentially disrupt the composition of the oral microbiome, inhibiting the growth of commensals, while simultaneously enhancing the formation of biofilm of the opportunistic microorganism Streptococcus mutans, contributing to colonization of the oral cavity by Candida albicans bacteria. Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Prevotella intermedia, which are the main periodontopathogens, were identified in the subgingival biofilm of e-cigarette smokers. Changes in the ecosystem of the oral cavity, in the antibacterial properties of saliva, a decrease in the level of secretory immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, lysozyme, an increase in the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines contribute to the development of dental diseases.
