Tato práce se zabývá bezdýmnými tabákovými produkty, jejich užíváním, složením a systémovými onemocněními a chorobami ústní dutiny spojenými s jejich účinky. Je zřejmé, že bezdýmný tabák je pro člověka karcinogenní a způsobuje různá systémová onemocnění a choroby ústní dutiny. Jednou z nejčastějších nemocí způsobených užíváním bezdýmného tabáku je rakovina ústní dutiny - další jsou např. leukoplakie, zubní kaz, bezdýmná keratóza a jiné negativní vlivy bezdýmného tabáku na ústní dutinu, včetně zbarvení zubů, zápachu z úst, boláků, opotřebování a abraze. Práce rovněž popisuje snahu zubních lékařů o to, aby pacienti přestali užívat tabákové produkty.

Keywords: Bezdýmný tabák; Systémová onemocnění; Onemocnění ústní dutiny; Skončení užívání tabáku

This review deals with the smokeless tobacco products, their use, composition, systemic and oral diseases associated with it. It is evident that smokeless tobacco is carcinogenic to human and causes various systemic and oral diseases. One of the major cancers caused by smokeless tobacco use is oral cancer and other oral diseases like leucoplakia, dental caries, smokeless keratosis, and other negative influences of smokeless tobacco on oral cavity including staining of teeth, bad breath, mouth sores, attrition and abrasion. This review also tries to describe the possible tobacco cessation intervention in dental office.
