Abstract Background: The increased use of E-cigarettes represents an emerging concern for dental practitioners with the potential to impact clinical care. The concerns for, and effects of, E-cigarettes remain poorly understood, especially with long-term use.

Methods: Dental practitioners (n = 187) in Bareilly completed a 28-item survey of E-cigarette knowledge, perception and their current clinical practices for patients using E-cigarettes. A knowledge score was computed, and associations between participant demographic characteristics and knowledge survey items, perception survey items and knowledge score levels, and behavior survey items and knowledge score levels were explored.

Results: Most practitioners do not see or do not ask patients about E-cigarette use (33%), switching from conventional cigarette to E-cigarette use (38%) or dual use (55%). Practice behaviors were not significantly different across knowledge score groupings. Low knowledge group consistently had negative practice behavior except more positive response within the group for recommending stopping of E-cigarettes before invasive procedures was observed (mode = 5).

Conclusions: This study reinforces the value of disseminating and translating this evidence to dental practitioners through early inclusion of this topic in dental and hygiene training programs and through continuing education courses.
