Abstract

---

The use of electronic cigarettes (ECIGs) has recently increased as an alternative to conventional smoking tobacco products . Therefore, the objective of this study was to observe whether ECIG aerosol could alter the color of dental enamel. The initial color assessment was performed using a spectrophotometer (Easy Shade—Vita) and Dental enamel was exposed to 60 cycles. Seventy-two denture teeth were separated into three subgroups, according to the flavor of the e-liquid to which they would be exposed (light color, dark color, artificial saliva). Each group is subdivided into two exposures one cycle, and two cycles. The minimum sample size that should be used for statistical significance is not specified in the literature; however, most of the researchers use eight to ten samples for each group in a pilot study. In the current study, a sample size of six teeth is used as one set contains six teeth. The means and standard deviations for ΔE among study groups are presented in Table-I and Table-II. The color difference (ΔE) value for each study group was identified, the highest ΔE was observed in saline 20 cycle specimens (18.68 ± 2.43), however, the lowest ΔE was shown by the dark vape color 10 cycles specimens (12.68 ± 2.14). Overall, study group specimens showed significant color difference (ΔE) (ANOVA, p<0.05) (p= 0.005573). It is not clear that there is a relation between vape/ vape color and color change of denture teeth. However, a larger sample and longer exposure time are recommended for future research
