ABSTRACT

Various studies have reported an association between tobacco use and an increased risk of developing dental caries. However, little research has been carried out into the relationship between the two. According to the Youth Tobacco Survey in Mexico, smoking is a habit that represents a serious public health problem. What is more, young adults aged 18 to 25 years have been identified as the age group showing the most marked trend of increasing tobacco addiction in both sexes. Objective: To perform an initial assessment of the possible association between smoking and caries in young people aged 18 to 25 years. Material and methods: A descriptive, observational, retrospective, analytical, cross-sectional epidemiological study was performed, which included a review of 320 records from the database compiled in the project PAPIME 212812 (Promoting health in college students as an innovative means to promote human development and add conditions that favor the teaching-learning process). A total of 274 records were selected as meeting the inclusion criteria: age, sex, smoker or nonsmoker, household income, and Klein and Palmer’s decayed, missing, and filled surfaces (DMFS) index. Odds ratios were analyzed to verify the association between caries and smoking. Results: Caries experience was found to be twice as high in those who defined themselves as smokers and indeed four times higher in male smokers. Furthermore, higher-income smokers were found to have the highest SIC, while among those on the lowest incomes, no significant difference was found between smokers and nonsmokers. We therefore conclude that smoking is a factor associated with caries in the population studied.
