Electronic cigarettes (also known as vapes) are widely used today, especially among young people, but their effects on the body—particularly in the mouth—are not yet fully understood. This project aims to study how vaping may affect the health of the mouth's soft tissues. Small samples of oral tissue will be collected from patients already undergoing dental implant procedures. We will compare people who vape, those who smoke traditional cigarettes, those who do both, and those who do neither. Using microscope analysis and special staining techniques, we will look for signs of inflammation and cell damage. We will also collect information about each person's smoking or vaping habits. By combining all this data, we hope to understand whether the frequency or type of product used is linked to tissue damage. The results may help improve awareness of vaping’s risks and support better prevention and oral health care strategies.
