Abstract: E-cigarette or electronic cigarette is one of the methods of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) designed to replace nicotine intake without tobacco. Initially, it was thought that the e-cigarette was a much safer alternative than the conventional cigarette. In fact, this e-cigarette can still pose dangerous side-effects to the users’ general health, including oral and dental health. This study was aimed to identify the relationship between the frequency of e-cigarette use and dental and oral health status in a community called Manado vapers in Manado. Samples were 32 e-cigarette users obtained by using total sampling of the community that fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Data were obtained by using questionnaire and OHI-S index. The Pearson’s correlation test performed on the relationship between the frequency of e-cigarette and oral health as well as dental health obtained a P value of 0.556. Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between frequency of e-cigarette use and oral and dental health among Manado vapers community in Manado.
