Cigarette Staining and Cleaning of a Maxillofacial Silicone

Abstract: In this study, a maxillofacial silicone elastomer was stained with cigarette smoke. The stain was then removed by solvent extraction using 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The cigarette smoke produced large color changes in the elastomer as measured from spectrophotometric reflectance curves. The solvent was totally effective in removing the cigarette stain without changing the color of the silicone base.

“…5 Concerns with color degradation of facial prostheses have directed most of the studies on color stability of base elastomer and colorants. [6][7][8][9] Later, the emphasis has been more on research towards developing methods for color matching of maxillofacial prostheses to human skin. [10][11][12][13] Different color measuring devices have been used to evaluate the color stability of maxillofacial elastomers.…”

“…In dental literature, the staining of various aesthetic dental materials like composite resin [1,3-5,7] and maxillofacial silicone [8] by cigarette smoke has been reported,. Also, there is a good amount of literature which have reported staining which was caused by food colourants, like staining of artificial teeth [9,10], aesthetic restorative materials [11,12], denture base resin [13] and acrylic resins for provisional restoration [14].…”

“…Paper-making reconstituted tobacco (PRT) is a kind of product which can reduce the tar release amount effectively, its quality affects the quality of cigarette products directly, and the coating process is key to the whole produce process [1][2], well-controlled coating rate has great influence on reducing the fluctuation of product physical and chemical indicators and keeping the stability of product quality [3][4][13][14]. As there is no uniform testing method and error requirement for coating rate in China, various industries including coating industry have different calculation methods for coating rate [5][6][15][16], and can only be calculated online while producing [7][8]; For cigarette manufacturing enterprises, the reconstituted tobacco products they receive are mostly coated products in pieces of different sizes, and the coating rate cannot be detected by taking round sheet of 100cm 2 on-line.…”
