Abstract
Objective: Review the association between cigarette, narguile and the development of periodontal disease. Methods: Researches were conducted in magazines, books, and scientific articles found through the PubMed, Scielo, Capes Portal and Google Scholar sites. Results: Currently the prevalence of smokers is 1.3 billion in the world, and smoking is considered an epidemiological disease, because it causes dependence on the substances present in its composition. These substances, in addition to dependence, cause damage to oral health, acting as a modifying factor in the development of periodontal disease, due to local and systemic interference, as well as negatively influencing the outcome of their treatment. Final considerations: Tobacco use regardless of its presentation is directly related to the development of periodontal disease. New regulatory policies, health promotion and prevention actions should be implemented, mainly leading to the increasing prevalence of narghile among young adults and adolescents, outside the regions where it was traditionally known.
