Effects of cigarette smoke and Tobacco Heating System aerosol on discoloration and staining of ceramic and composite veneers

Key Points

• Discoloration is more prominent in composite veneers, leading to a noticeable deterioration in aesthetic quality.
• Cigarette smoke leads to significant staining, affecting both ceramic and composite veneers in interproximal areas.
• Assessment of staining involves comparing cigarette smoke and heated tobacco aerosol effects on different veneer materials.
• Selecting appropriate materials and providing hygiene guidance can help mitigate staining risks and improve veneer longevity.
