Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids on the Adhesion and Growth of Osteoblast CellsAna Carla Lorenz-Vieira, Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti, Mahmoud RouabhiaElectronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were designed to replace traditional cigarettes to decrease the harmful effects of smoking. The liquid in e-cigarettes contains different chemicals, such as Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and may contain nicotine. To be more attractive, e-liquids are supplemented with flavorings. Because vaped e-liquids are shown to be damaging to oral tissues, similar effects could occur … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2023 · 5,155 accessesView PDFCite
