Panzeri Results: Tetric N-Ceram presented color change at clinically unacceptable levels (DE > 3.3) whenthepolyesterstripwasusedforfinishing,aresultdiffering(p < 0.05)fromthoseofthe other composites, which presented no difference between them (p > 0.05). Unpolished composites presented higher Ra values than those that were polished (p < 0.05), with exception of the silorane based composite. Conclusion: Absence of polishing increases cigarette capacity to stain composites and surface roughness of composites, with exception of the silorane based type. Discolorati 2017 Matteo Objective: A crucial property of esthetic restorative on of Ceci, materials is their long-term color stability. The aim of this in different Matteo vitro study was to evaluate the color stability of esthetic esthetic Viola, restorative materials (one microfilled flowable composite, restorative Davide one nanofilled composite, one nanoybrid composite, one materials: Rattalino, microfilled composite, and one nanoybrid ormocer-based A Riccardo composite) after surface roughening with cola and exposure spectrophot to different staining solutions (coffee and red wine). Beltrami, ometric Materials and Methods: All materials were polymerized into Marco evaluation silicone rubber rings (2 mm × 6 mm × 8 mm) to obtain 150 Colombo, specimens identical in size. Seventy-five specimens of Claudio Group A were first exposed to cola for 24 h, and then Poggio samples were immersed in coffee or red wine over a 28-day test period. A colorimetric evaluation, according to the CIE L*a*b* system, was performed at 7, 14, 21, 28 days. Shapiro–Wilk test and Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance were applied to assess significant differences among restorative materials. Means were compared with Scheffe’s multiple comparison test at the 0.05 level of significance. Results: Specimens of Group A showed higher variations when compared with Group B’s specimens (P < 0.05). After 28 days, the immersion protocols caused a clinically perceivable color change for all materials tested (P < 0.05). Ceram·X Universal and Admira Fusion showed the lowest ∆E variations (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Staining beverages caused significant discolorations for all the materials tested. The first exposure to cola enhanced the subsequent staining with coffee or red wine. Nanohybrid composites reported the lowest color variations. Background:The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate surface discoloration of three microhybrid composite resins (Esthet•X HD, Clearfil AP-X, Gradia Direct) and five nanohybrid composite resins (Ceram•X, GC Kalore, G-aenial, Grandio, GrandioSO), after staining and bleaching procedures. Materials and Methods:The composite resins were polymerized with a curing light (Celalux II, Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany) into 160 silicon molds (6,4 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) to obtain identical specimens. Twenty samples for each composite resin were prepared. The specimens were polished using an automated Claudio polishing machine with the sequence of 600-, 800-, 1000- Surface Poggio, grit abrasive paper under water irrigation. The specimens discoloratio Riccardo were immersed in tea and distilled water: the specimens n of Beltrami, were dipped for 20 min, once a day (every 24 h), for 14 days composite Andrea into the drinks. The specimens were then bleached with resins: 2012 Scribante, carbamide peroxide at 17% (Perfect Bleach-Voco). The Effects of Marco color of specimens was measured with a spectrophotometer staining Colombo, according to the CIE L*a*b* system after light- and and Marco polymerization of composite resin specimens, after 7 days, bleaching Chiesa after 14 days, and after bleaching. The color difference h index (DEab*) between each measurement was calculated. Statistical analysis was made using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results:All specimens showed a significant increase in staining with a similar trend and no significant differences between microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins. After whitening procedures, materials tested showed both significant and unsignificant differences of the h index. Conclusions:Microhybrid and nanohybrid composite resins had similar in vitro surface discoloration in tea. After bleaching, discoloration was removed from some composite resins tested. Electronic 2013 Palazzolo, Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, or vaping, in the Cigarettes Dominic L United States and worldwide is and increasing. Their use is highly controversial from scientific, Vaping: A political, financial, psychological, and sociological New ideologies. Given the controversial nature of e-cigarettes Challenge and vaping, in Clinical how should medical care providers advise their patients? To Medicine effectively face this new challenge, health care professionals and Public need to become more familiar with the existing literature concerning e-cigarettes and vaping, especially the scientific literature. Thus, the aim of this article is to present a review of the scientific evidence- based primary literature concerning electronic cigarettes and vaping. A search of the most current literature using the pubmed database dating back to 2008, and using electronic cigarette(s) or e-cigarette(s) as key words, yielded a total of 66 highly relevant articles. These articles primarily deal with (1) consumer-based surveys regarding personal views on vaping, (2) chemical analysis of e-cigarette cartridges, solutions, and mist, (3) nicotine content, delivery, and pharmacokinetics, and (4) clinical and physiological studies investigating the effects of acute vaping. Health. A When compared to the effects of smoking, the scant Literature available literature suggests that vaping could be a “harm Review reduction” alternative to smoking and a possible means for smoking cessation, at least to the same degree as other Food and Drug Administration-approved nicotine replacement therapies. However, it is unclear if vaping e-cigarettes will reduce or increase nicotine addiction. It is obvious that more rigorous investigations of the acute and long-term health effects of vaping are required to establish the safety and efficacy of these devices; especially parallel experiments comparing the cardiopulmonary effects of vaping to smoking. Only then will the medical community be able to adequately meet the new challenge e-cigarettes and vaping present to clinical medicine and public health. Environme 2018 Carmela Abstract: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) were introduced into ntal Protano , the market in 2006 and their technological Electronic Pasquale features have evolved substantially over time. Currently, Vape Avino , there are four different generations of e-cigs Exposure Maurizio that are broadly considered less harmful than the use of from Four Manigrasso combusted tobacco products although Different , Valerio passive exposure to aerosols often occurs in public spaces and indoor environments. The study aim Generation Vivaldi , was to evaluate the levels of airborne particulate matter s of Franco (PM) emitted during the use of all the four Electronic Perna , generations of e-cigs, testing different use modalities. Cigarettes: Federica PM10, PM4, PM2.5 and PM1 were measured Airborne Valeriani through a Dusttrak ™ II Aerosol Monitor, for a total of 20 Particulate and Matteo independent experiments. All tested e-cigs Matter Vitali devices produced PM during their use, and PM10 was Levels almost made of PM1 size fraction. In addition, we observed a progressive increase in PM emission from the first to the fourth generation, and an upward trend of PM1 emitted by the fourth generation e-cig with an increase in the operating power. The results showed that, whatever the model adopted, passive vaping does occur. This finding supports the need for legislative interventions to regulate the e-cigs use in public places and other enclosed environments, in order to protect the health of any subject who is potentially exposed. Electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) use electricity to power a heating element that aerosolizes a liquid containing solvents, flavorants, and the dependence-producing drug nicotine for user inhalation. ECIGs have evolved rapidly in the past 8 years, and the changes in product design and liquid constituents affect the resulting toxicant yield in the aerosol Alison and delivery to the user. This rapid evolution has been Breland, accompanied by dramatic increases in ECIG use prevalence Eric Soule, in Electronic Alexa many countries among adults and, especially, adolescents in cigarettes: Lopez, the United States. The increased prevalence of ECIGs that what are 2017 Carolina deliver nicotine and other toxicants to users’ lungs drives a they and Ramoa, rapidly growing research effort. This review highlights the what do Ahmad El- most recent information regarding the design of ECIGs and they do? Hellani, and their liquid and aerosol constituents, the epidemiology Thomas of ECIG use among adolescents and adults (including Eissenberg correlates of ECIG use), and preclinical and clinical research regarding ECIG effects. The current literature suggests a strong rationale for an empirical regulatory approach toward ECIGs that balances any potential ECIG-mediated decreases in health risks for smokers who use them as substitutes for tobacco cigarettes against any increased risks for nonsmokers who may be attracted to them. A Public 2019 Susan C. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and vape devices have Health Walley, MD, rapidly become the most common tobacco products used by Crisis: CTTS, Karen youth, driven in large part by marketing and advertising by Electronic M. Wilson, e-cigarette companies. There is substantial evidence that Cigarettes, MD, MPH, adolescent e-cigarette use leads to use of combustible Vape, and Jonathan P. tobacco products. E-cigarette companies commonly JUUL Winickoff, advertise that e-cigarettes contain nicotine, flavoring chemicals, and humectants (propylene glycol and/or MD, MPH, vegetable glycerin), but toxicants, ultrafine particles, and Judith carcinogens have also been found in e-cigarette solutions Groner, and emissions, many of which are known to cause adverse MDd health effects. Most major e-cigarette brands are owned by big tobacco companies that use similar marketing and advertising strategies to attract youth users as they did with traditional tobacco products. In this review, we provide an overview of e-cigarettes and vape devices with an emphasis on the impact for the pediatric population. We describe the vast array of e-cigarette devices and solutions, concern for nicotine addiction, and the scientific background on the known health harms. There are accompanying visual depictions to assist in identifying these products, including newer e-cigarette products and JUUL. Because current federal regulations are insufficient to protect youth from e- cigarette use, exposure, and nicotine addiction, there are recommendations for pediatricians and pediatric health care providers to counsel and advocate for a tobacco-free lifestyle for patients and families. Objective: The use of electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) has recently increased as an alternative to conventional smoking tobacco products. The literature is scarce on the effects of ECIGs on dental and oral structures. Therefore, the objective of this study was to observe whether ECIG aerosol could alter the color of dental enamel. Materials and methods: Sixty-three bovine enamel specimens were randomly separated into groups (n = 7) and treated with aerosols with different e- liquid flavors (neutral, menthol, and Karen tobacco) and nicotine content (0, 12, and 18 mg). The initial Pintado- color assessment was performed Palomino, using a spectrophotometer (Easy Shade—Vita). Dental Cecilia Vilela enamel was exposed to 20 cycles of ECIG Vasconcelos aerosol in a smoking machine, and the final color was The effect Barros de measured. The color change was evaluated using ΔEab, of Almeida, ΔE00, and Whiteness Index (WID) formulae. Differences in electronic Christiano L* a* b* coordinates were calculated, and data were cigarettes 2019 Oliveira- analyzed (two-way ANOVA, uncorrected Fisher's LSD on dental Santos, post hoc test, α = 0.05). enamel Fernanda Results: Luminosity (ΔL) was reduced by aerosols with color Panzeri almost all levels of nicotine content and Pires-de- neutral and menthol flavors. Flavored e-liquids caused more Souza, color change (P < .05) according to Camila ΔEab and ΔE00. ΔE values from both formulae exceeded the thresholds for perceptible visual Tirapelli alterations of color. WID increased after ECIGs exposure for menthol and tobacco and decreased for neutral flavors. Conclusions: ECIG aerosol from e-liquids with different nicotine contents and flavors altered enamel color. Menthol and tobacco e-liquids may alter the enamel color decreasing the yellowness of the enamel compared to neutral e-liquid. Clinical significance: Electronic cigarettes can cause perceptible changes in tooth color, altering dental esthetics. Effect of Noor Al- Vaping on Shalchi, 2019 - the Oral Sebastian Cavity August
Abstract Background/purpose: Streptococcus mutans is an
important pathogen in the development of dental caries. Many studies have focused on the relationship between nicotine and S.mutans in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nicotine on the growth of S. mutans and its cariogenic potential in vivo. Materials and methods: Sixteen male Specific-pathogen-free Wistar rats were Shiyu Liu, divided into 2 groups (nicotine-treated and nicotine- Tianmu Wu, untreated group) and infected with S. mutans. The S. mutans Xuedong suspension was treated with 1 mg/mL nicotine in the Nicotine is Zhou, Bo nicotine-treated group. The Keyes method was used to a risk factor Zhang, Sibei evaluate sulcal caries of rats, and dental plaque on molar for dental teeth was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 2018 Huo, Yutao caries: An Results: Incidence of sulcal caries was higher in nicotine- Yang, Keke treated group compared to nicotineuntreated group (42.7 in vivo study Zhang, Lei 1.7 vs 37.3 4.9, P Z 0.009). Severity of caries increased Cheng, Xin with Xu, Mingyun nicotine treatment. The slightly dentinal caries scores and Li moderate dentinal caries scores were higher in the presence of nicotine (P < 0.001). Increased number of S. mutans cells attached to dental surface was observed under SEM in the nicotine-treated group. Conclusion: Nicotine would promote the attachment of S. mutans to dental surface, and further increase the incidence and severity of dental caries. Therefore, nicotine might be a risk factor for smoking- induced caries. Morphologi 2010 PAULA Statement of the Problem: The staining effect of tobacco c Texture MATHIAS, smoke on resin color is clinically observed. However, there Characteriz DDS, MS, is no evidence determining whether this staining is increased ation Allied PhD, on texturized surfaces or if the color change is superficial to LEONARDO and can be removed by repolishing procedures. Cigarette COSTA, DDS, Objective: To evaluate the effect of tobacco smoke on the Smoke MS, LETÍCIA color of a composite with smooth or texturized surfaces, Increase before and after repolishing. OLIVEIRA Pigmentati Materials and Methods: Forty composite specimens were SARAIVA, on in allocated into four groups (N = 10): Smooth surface not Composite DDS, MS, exposed (G1) and exposed to tobacco smoke (G2), Resin THAIS texturized surface not exposed (G3), and exposed to tobacco Restoration ARANHA smoke (G4). During 21 days, G2 and G4 were daily exposed sjerd ROSSI, DDS, to the smoke from 20 cigarettes. Color measurements were ANDREA carried out at baseline,after 21 days, and after repolishing. NÓBREGA Variables L* (luminosity), b* (blue-yellow), and DE (total CAVALCANT color change) were statistically analyzed (repeated measures I, DDS, MS, analysis of variance/Tukey). Results: Texturized and smooth specimens presented similar luminosity at baseline. Tobacco smoke significantly reduced L* in G2 and G4, and increased PhD, b* in G4. After repolishing, L* increased and b* reduced in GETÚLIO DA stained groups, but values continued to be different from baseline ROCHA ones. Repolishing significantly reduced DE, but values from NOGUEIRA- stained groups were still greater than that from unstained FILHO, DDS, groups. Conclusion: Tobacco smoke changes the color of MS, PhD composite, and surface texture can increase the staining. Repolishing reduces superficial staining, but this procedure may not return the composite to baseline color. The aim of this study is to understand the factors that influence the color stability of composite restorations. we live in a world of esthetic dentistry where esthetic tooth-colored restorations are the trend today. Composite restoration which satisfies this need of esthetic tooth-colored Factors that restorations has evolved tremendously.

Effect of 2010 Jeong-Kil Purpose : To examine the effect of staining solutions on the staining Park, Prof. discoloration of resin nanocomposites. solutions Yong Hoon Methods : Three resin nanocomposites (Ceram X, Grandio, on Kwon and Filtek Z350) were light cured for 40 seconds at a light discoloratio intensity of 1000 mW/cm2. The color of the specimens was n of resin measured in %R (reflectance) mode before and after nanocompo immersing the specimens in four different test solutions sites [distilled water (DW), coffee (CF), 50% ethanol (50ET) and brewed green tea (GT)] for 7 hours/day over a 3-week period. The color difference (ΔE*) was obtained based on the CIEL*a*b* color coordinate values. Results : The specimens immersed in DW, 50ET and GT showed a slight increase in L* value. However, the samples immersed in CF showed a decrease in the L* value and an increase in the b* value. CF induced a significant color change (ΔE*: 3.1~5.6) in most specimens but the other solutions induced only a slight color change. Overall, coffee caused unacceptable color changes to the resin nanocomposites. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intrinsic and extrinsic color change of dimethacrylate and silorane-based composites. Materials and methods: Five contemporary composites were included within the study (Filtek LS Low Shrink Posterior Restorative [SIL], Filtek SupremeXT [SPR], Filtek Z250 [Z25], Filtek P60 [P60], and Admira [ADM]). Twenty-five specimens (8-mm diameter, 1.5-mm thickness) were prepared for each composite. After baseline color measurements were taken, specimens were immersed in 4 Intrinsic staining solutions (red wine, coffee, cola, and tea) or and distilled extrinsic water (n = 5). After a 24-h and 1-month immersion, the discoloratio Cagatay color values of each specimen were remeasured and the n of Barutcigil, 2011 color change values (DE ab) were calculated. Statistical dimethacryl Mehmet analyses were evaluated by one-way ANOVA and Tukey ate and Yıldız HSD test. silorane Results: Amongst the solutions, red wine had the highest DE based ab value in all the composite restoratives. After the final composites measurement, ADM exhibited the lowest discoloration, whereas SPR exhibited the highest color change. Additionally, the color change for SIL after 1 month in distilled water was higher than the clinically accepted cut- off of 3.3. This change was correlated with an increasing L value according to the multiple regression analysis. Conclusion: All of the restorative materials used in this study were susceptible to staining by commonly consumed beverages drinks, especially red wine and coffee; however, in water, only SIL became whiter with time.

Objective: To assess behavior change over 12 months in users of e-cigarettes (“vapers”). Methods: Longitudinal Internet survey, 2011 to 2013. Participants were enrolled on websites dedicated to ecigarettes and smoking cessation. We assessed use of e- cigarettes and tobacco among the same cohort at baseline, after one month (n = 477) and one year (n = 367). Results: Most participants (72%) were former smokers, and 76% were using e-cigarettes daily. At baseline, current users had been using e-cigarettes for 3 months, took 150 puffs/day on their e-cigarette and used refill liquids containing 16 mg/ml of nicotine, on average. Almost all the daily vapers at baseline were still vaping daily after one A month (98%) and one year (89%). Of those who had been longitudina Jean- vaping daily for less than one month at baseline, 93% l study of François 2013 were still vaping daily after one month, and 81% after one electronic Etter, Chris year. In daily vapers, the number of puffs/day on ecigarettes cigarette Bullen remained unchanged between baseline and one year. Among users former smokers who were vaping daily at baseline, 6% had relapsed to smoking after one month and also 6% after one year. Among dual users (smokers who were vaping daily at baseline), 22% had stopped smoking after one month and 46% after one year. In dual users who were still smoking at follow-up, cigarette consumption decreased by 5.3 cig/day after one month (from 11.3 to 6.0 cig./day, p = 0.006), but remained unchanged between baseline and 1-year follow-up. Conclusions: E-cigarettes may contribute to relapse prevention in former smokers and smoking cessation in current smokers. Assessment Purpose: To evaluate in vitro enamel sample discoloration of Enamel following exposure to a scientific reference cigarette (3R4F) 2018 Annette Discolorati or emissions from next generation tobacco and nicotine Dalrymple, on in Vitro products (NGPs) such as electronic cigarettes (EC) and tobacco heating products (THP). Methods: Bovine enamel blocks (6.5 × 6.5 mm) were prepared and pre-incubated with human or artificial saliva, to form a pellicle layer before exposure to either particulate matter (PM) or whole aerosols. PM was prepared by capturing 3R4F cigarette smoke (CS), a commercial THP (THP1.0) or a novel vapor product (NVP)/next generation e- cigarette aerosols on Cambridge filter pads followed by elution with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Ten enamel samples were exposed to each PM for 14 days. For aerosol exposure, 12 enamel samples were exposed (200 puffs per day, for 5 consecutive days) to 3R4F CS or THP1.0 and Thomas C NVP aerosols. Control samples were incubated with DMSO Badrock, (PM study) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS, aerosol Following Anya Terry, study). Individual enamel sample color readings (L*, a*, b*) Exposure Mark were measured at baseline and on each exposure day. Mean to Cigarette Barber, ΔL*, Δa*, Δb* and ΔE values were calculated for each Smoke and Peter J Hall, product or control. A one-way ANOVA was used to assess Emissions David the differences between the products and controls. The From Thorne, Tukey procedure for pairwise comparisons was also used. Novel Marianna D Results: At all timepoints, 3R4F PM and CS induced enamel Vapor and Gaca, discoloration that was statistically significant (< 0.0001) Tobacco Steven when compared to THP1.0 or NVP. After 14-day PM Heating Cobur, exposure, mean ΔE values were 29.4± 3.6, 10.5 ± 2.3, 10.7 Products Christopher ± 2.6 and 12.6 ± 2.0 for 3R4F, THP1.0, NVP and DMSO Proctor control respectively. After 5-day CS or aerosol exposure, mean ΔE values were 26.2 ± 3.2, 3.6 ± 1.9, 3.4 ± 1.3, 5.3 ± 0.8 for 3R4F CS, THP1.0, NVP or PBS control, respectively. Both exposure methods demonstrated that THP1.0 and NVP induced minimal staining, mean ΔL* , Δa* , Δb* and ΔE values were comparable to DMSO or PBS controls. Clinical significance: For the first time, diverse NGPs across the risk continuum were assessed in vitro for their impact on enamel staining. CS exposure significantly increased the level of bovine enamel sample discoloration, whereas THP1.0 or NVP exposure resulted in values comparable to the controls.

ABSTRACT Cigarette Patil, Background: The discolouration of artificial teeth, which Smoke Dhakshaini hampers aesthetics, is one of the negative effects of cigarette on Acrylic M.R., Anil smoking. Therefore, the effect of cigarette smoke on the Resin Kumar colour stability of commercially available acrylic resin teeth Teeth Gujjari needs to be evaluated for clinical success and to ascertain as to which brand has superior properties. Materials and Methods: Three commercially available acrylic teeth were evaluated, after division into Group A (Premadent), Group B (Astra), and Group C (Sanyo- Dent). Selected brands were subdivided as study group and control group. Each set of acrylic resin teeth were stored in artificial saliva at 37±1oC for 24 hours. After 24 hours of immersion, the colour measurement of each tooth (T0) was performed. Second colour measurements were done after 21 days (T21) of exposure to cigarette smoke for study group and after immersion in artificial saliva for control group. All data was statistically analyzed by using Repeated Measures ANOVA and Two-way ANOVA.(p<0.05) Results: Group A showed least total colour change on exposure to cigarette smoke, followed by Group B and Group C had the highest total colour change. In control group, after immersion in artificial saliva, a slight increase in total colour change was observed for all groups, which was clinically acceptable. Conclusion: Group A (crosslinked acrylic resin teeth) was more colour stable and more resistant to the discolouration which was caused by cigarette smoke, followed by Group B (crosslinked acrylic resin teeth). Group C (Non-crosslinked acrylic resin teeth) was least colour stable and most susceptible to discolouration which was caused by cigarette smoke. Background and Aim: Success of composite restorations mainly depends on their color stability when in service. The present study aimed at assessing the effect of staining solutions and repolishing on composite resin color change. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 200 specimens were fabricated with A2 and B2 shades of Spectrum (TPH, Dentsply) and Point 4 (Kerr, USA) composite resins (100 specimens each). Specimens were divided into 5 groups of 10 samples each and immersed in coffee, tea, coke, orange juice and distilled water for 30 days. Specimens were photographed with a digital camera Effect of (Fine Pix S9600). Color analysis was done with CS Staining E.

The greatest color Resin Kharazifard change occurred in B2 Spectrum composite resin in coffee Color while the smallest color change was observed in A2 Point 4 Change specimens in water. Except for water and coke, the difference in color change between the two composite resins in all solutions was statistically significant. Color changes of B2 shade were significantly higher than those of A2. Significant improvements were observed in color of specimens after their repolishing. However, color change of specimens in coffee and tea did not improve to the clinically acceptable level by repolishing. Conclusion: Color change of composite restorations depends on the type and shade of composite resin as well as patient’s nutritional habits. Effects of 2017 Xiaoyi Zha, ABSTRACT: Purpose: To study the effects of cigarette smoke (CS) on the discoloration of dental resin composite compared with the aerosol from a heat-not-burn tobacco product, the Tobacco Heating System 2.2 (THS2.2). Methods: A total of 60 discs were prepared from three commercial resin composites: Durafill VS (DYS), Filtek Filippo Supreme Ultra (FSU) and Tetric EvoCeram BulkFill (TEC). Zanetti, Twenty discs of each composite were divided into two Shoaib groups and exposed to CS from 20 reference cigarettes cigarette Majeed, Jie (3R4F) or aerosol from 20 THS2.2 tobacco sticks per day smoking on for 3 weeks. Color, gloss and surface roughness of the Pan, Hans color composite discs were measured at baseline and after Malmstrom, stability of exposure and brushing with toothpaste at 1, 2 and 3 weeks. Manuel dental resin Results: Color differences from the baseline (L'lE) were on composites C.Peitsch, average 27.1 (±3.6) in 3R4F and 3.9 (±1.5) in the THS2.2 Julia Hoeng group after 3 weeks of exposure (P< 0.0001). TEC dan Yanfang (30.4±1.4 and FSU (28.0 ±2.5) exhibited more discoloration Ren than DYS (23.0± 1.2) in the 3R4F group (P< 0.0001 ). FSU (2.6±0.5) showed significantly less discoloration than TEC (5.3± 1.5) in the THS2.2 group (P< 0.000 I). Surface roughness of resin composites was not affected by either CS or THS2.2 aerosol, while surface gloss increased in the composite discs with more severe discoloration Effects of 2019 Xiaoyi Objectives: To compare the relative effects of cigarette different Zhaoa, smoke (CS), electronic cigarette (EC), red wine, coffee, discoloratio Filippo and soy sauce on the color of enamel, dentin, and composite n Zanettic, Lin resin restorations, as well as the effects of whitening challenges Wang, Jie treatments. and Pan, Shoaib Methods: Seventy premolars with composite restorations whitening Majeed, were exposed to CS, EC aerosol (a novel EC device with treatments MESH™ technology [P4M3 version 1.0, Philip Morris Hans on dental International]), red wine, coffee, and soy sauce for 56 min/ Malmstrom, hard tissues day for 15 days. Two whitening sessions with 6% and 35% and Manuel C. hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were performed on the composite Peitsch, exposed samples. Teeth exposed to CS and EC aerosol were resin Julia Hoeng, also brushed with whitening toothpaste for 3 weeks. restorations Yanfang Ren Color match of resin restorations was assessed, and color changes were compared after exposure and after whitening treatments. Results: Discolorations in enamel, dentin, and composite resin were observed in the order of red wine > CS > soy sauce > coffee > EC. Color mismatch between enamel and resin restorations occurred only in red wine and CS groups. Brushing with whitening toothpaste removed discoloration caused by EC aerosol; H2O2 treatments were necessary to eliminate discolorations caused by coffee and soy sauce. Discolorations of dentin and resin restorations could not be completely removed by whitening treatments, and color mismatch remained in teeth exposed to red wine and CS. Conclusion: Red wine and CS cause significant tooth discoloration and color mismatch in enamel and resin restorations that are not reversible by whitening treatments. Tooth discoloration associated with EC aerosol was minimal and could be removed by brushing with whitening toothpaste. Clinical significance: Red wine drinkers and cigarette smokers have increased risks for tooth discoloration and color mismatch between enamel and composite resin restorations. Whitening treatments may not be effective in correcting the color mismatch. Tooth discoloration associated with EC aerosol is minimal. 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 Hubungan the conventional cigarette. In fact, this ecigarette can still Penggunaa pose dangerous side-effects to the users’ general health, n Rokok including oral and dental health. This study was aimed to Elektrik identify the relationship between the frequency of ecigarette dengan Junior N. W. use and dental and oral health status in a community called Status Oroh, Pieter Manado vapers in Manado. Samples were 32 e-cigarette Kebersihan 2018 L. Suling, users obtained by using total sampling of the community Gigi Kustina that fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. This was a dan Mulut Zuliari descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design. pada Data were obtained by using questionnaire and OHI-S Komunitas index. The Pearson’s correlation test performed on the Manado relationship between the frequency of e-cigarette and oral Vapers 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. The effect 2018 Andrew Background: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are used to help of Higham, smoking cessation. However, these devices contain harmful electronic Declan chemicals, and there are safety concerns. We have cigarette Bostock, investigated the effects of e-cigs on the inflammatory and George response and viability of COPD bronchial epithelial cells tobacco Booth, (BECs). Methods: BECs from COPD patients and controls smoke Josiah V were exposed to e-cig vapor extract (ECVE) and the levels exposure of interleukin (IL)-6, C-X-C motif ligand 8 (CXCL8), and Dungwa, on COPD lactate dehydrogenase release were measured. We also Dave Singh bronchial examined the effect of ECVE pretreatment on epithelial polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-stimulated cell cytokine release from BECs. Parallel experiments using inflammato Calu-3 cells were performed. Comparisons were made with ry cigarette smoke extract (CSE). Results: ECVE and CSE responses caused an increase in the release of IL-6 and CXCL8 from Calu-3 cells. ECVE only caused toxicity in BECs and Calu- 3 cells. Furthermore, ECVE and CSE dampened poly I:C- stimulated C-X-C motif ligand 10 release from both cell culture models, reaching statistical significance for CSE at an optical density of 0.3. Conclusion: ECVE caused toxicity and reduced the antiviral response to poly I:C. This raises concerns over the safety of e-cig use.
