Abstract
Problem statement and aim The esthetics of the complete denture primarily depend upon the color of the denture teeth; however, there are situations where the teeth are subjected to extrinsic and intrinsic stains and discolor over time. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of smoking and two different denture cleaners on the color stability of the denture teeth.Material and methodsCommercially available maxillary anterior teeth made up of acrylic resin were selected for the study and were divided into two groups (n=10): persulfate-free denture cleanser and persulfate containing denture cleansers. The acrylic teeth were set in the smoke chamber with a distance to absorb the smoke equally from the cigarette. The smoke was released for 10 minutes, and the results are observed by the spectrophotometer.ResultsAll the values were collected after the 21st day, and data were analyzed with the SPSS software. It was found that denture cleansers with persulfate are effective on color stability. ConclusionsEven though the persulfate containing denture cleansers are injurious to health, they can be recommended to the smokers with clear instructions of use. However, for non-smokers, persulfate-free denture cleansers are preferred over the persulfate containing denture cleansers.

Summary
How to cite this article K M, Selvakumar D, Seenivasan M, et al (March 18, 2020) Evaluation and Comparison of the Effects of Persulfate Containing and Persulfate-free Denture Cleansers on Acrylic Resin Teeth Stained with Cigarette Smoke: An In Vitro Study. Staining of acrylic dental replacement teeth has been a significant complaint from dental replacement wearers. Since high-quality plastic teeth made of hard resin are helpless to staining with colors, it has been seen that the esthetics of removable partial prosthesis made using such plastic teeth slowly decrease in numerous patients. If removable partial prosthesis were utilized for significant use without adequate cleaning, there is a chance of staining in porcelain teeth too due to the adsorption of colorants on the porcelain surface [3]. The aim of the study is to discover the effectiveness of the persulfate-free dental replacement chemicals when exposed to smoke
