Discoloration difference between acrylic artificial teeth exposed to filter- and electronic-cigarette smoke in the Laboratory Faculty of Dentistry, Muslim University of Indonesia in 2017

Abstract

Objective: To determine of artificial teeth color discoloration different between exposure of cigarette's and electric cigarette's smoke in the Laboratorium FKG UMI 2017. The simulator of smoking, artificial teeth, cigarette's, CIE Lab. Material and Methods: Acrylic is most commonly used material for articial teeth. Acrylic is easily stained by food, beverage, chemical, and smoking habit. Cigarette and electric cigarette are commonly consumed by most people. Cigarette contains brownish substance called tar meanwhile electric cigarette contains of many chemical substances.Results: Data were recorded after exposure of cirarettes's and analyzed by statistic test used Independent sampe T test whit the significance level α = 0.05. Cigarette smoke affects the color of acrylic artificial teeth. Meanwhile, electric cigarette effect the color of acrylic teeth but insignificantly. There are artifisial teeth color discoloration different between exposure of cigarette's and electric cigarette's smoke with p=0.010 < α=0.05. Conclusion:This study shows that there is a discoloration difference between acrylic artificial teeth exposed to filter-and electroniccigarette smoke

Relationship of Knowledge and Perception of Self-Medication of Cough Medicine to Lung Function Disorders in Construction Workers in Indonesia

“…In filter cigarettes, all the combustion products from cigarettes will be inhaled and enter the respiratory tract. 27 The results above are under the theory which explains that non-filter cigarettes are more dangerous than filter cigarettes. Hence, the spirometry value in non-filter cigarettes is smaller because the nicotine and tar content is higher.…”

Effect of electronic cigarettes smoking on color stability of lithium disilicate glass ceramic veneers

“…Moreover, Chotimah C., et al who confirmed the effect of ECIG aerosol on the acrylic teeth's color. 31 Alnasser H., et al concluded that ECIG smoking changes the color of composite resins. 32 Additionally, in the investigation of Vohra F. et al 33 , they found that ECIG aerosol discolors both ceramic and composite specimens.…”

“…According to published research, ECIG aerosol and e-liquid ingredients cause and incite chronic inflammatory diseases. 5,8 According to a study by Chotimah et al 9 , cigarette smoke has an impact on the color of acrylic artificial teeth. Yet, the impact of an electric cigarette on the color of acrylic teeth is minimal.…”

“…Therefore, the color of artificial teeth could change depending on whether they were exposed to cigarette or electronic cigarette smoke. 9 Rocha et al claimed that oral behaviors including consuming alcohol and smoking cigarettes can cause resin composites to discolor. This in-vitro investigation revealed that the combination of these behaviors, particularly when translucent hues are utilized, can aggravate color shifts in composites.…”
