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 ? = 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 < ?=0.05.Conclusion: This study shows that there is a discoloration difference between acrylic artificial teeth exposed to filter- and electronic-cigarette smoke

Highlights

Tooth loss is a change in the oral cavity which may be caused by low dental and oral health status, such as caries and periodontal disease
The research was conducted in the Laboratory of Dentistry Faculty at the Muslim University of Indonesia for a day
Results of this study regarding the discoloration difference between acrylic artificial teeth exposed to filter- and electronic-cigarette smoke shows that the samples exposed to filter-cigarette smoke obtained a lower mean post- exposure (L) value 62.83 than its Represents discoloration of the artificial teeth exposed to filter-cigarette smoke from all six samples; the mean pre- and post-exposure (L) values are 73 and 62.83, respectively, the mean pre- and post-exposure (a) values are -1 and 2, respectively, and the mean pre- and post-exposure (b) values are 12 and 24, respectively, the mean value of ΔE*ab = 16.47 obtained
