Mucosal lesions and oral effects of snuff
How does snus affect your oral health?
Thomas Richard Klimowicz
Dentist/Fellow
Background
There are few epidemiological studies on mucosal lesions and similarly few studies that elucidate the effects of snus on mucous membranes, despite the fact that the use of snus is increasing sharply in Scandinavia.
Purpose
We will map the incidence of mucosal lesions, what effects snus has on oral health and whether the bacterial flora of the oral cavity is altered by snus.
Methods
We will use the data collected in HUNT4 Dental Health. In HUNT4 Dental Health, the oral cavity was thoroughly examined and mucosal lesions became the registry for nearly 5,000 participants. In HUNT4, saliva samples suitable for mapping the bacterial flora in saliva were also taken, and self-reported use of snuff.
