Conventional tobacco cigarette smoke and heated tobacco products cannot be consumed without

        consequences.

    Both are a hassle to your teeth's substitute materials. The result of the study? Degradation and bacteria growth.

    Tooth replacement materials like acrylic resin, soft liners, and hard relining materials are exposed

    these substances.  The kiss of death or at least the kiss of degradation.

    Under similar conditions, heated tobacco products were found to be the lesser of two evils with less

    bacterial growth.

    One of the many ways smoking impacts your body is how your oral health is affected.

    These are unappealing consequences to say the least.

    Cancers of the mouth can gradually be kickstarted. Tooth replacement materials aren't exempt from these

    consequences.   Not a fun thought huh?

    This study show that heat tobacco products can be seen as safer for your dentures than regular tobacco

    products. Still, that's not saying much considering the dread factor of bacteria growth.

    Chronic smokers often switch to heated tobacco products.  Non smokers should not fall for this. Regular

    smokers should do their own research. This study shows that if they do not want to part ways with their

    denture materials

    This was an in vitro study.

    An in vitro study is done in a lab in a controlled environment. This is where this study was done.

    The heating element of the heated tobacco products creates a different chemical composition

    Heated tobacco products are a novel substitute for traditional cigarettes. One could

    consider them an alternative. More studies are needed to verify their safety claims.

    This study was not about the health of the individual. Can you imagine!

    If you do not have dental dentures, you can take a breath of relief.  If you have them or are considering

    them, smoking is a no-no.
