Effectiveness Of Dental Bleaching In Depth After Using Different Bleaching Agents

This study evaluated the effectiveness of low- and high-concentration bleaching agents on enamel and deep dentin. Study design: Stained bovine incisors fragments were randomized placed into 10 groups (n=5), according to the sample thicknesses (2.0 mm or 3.5 mm) and bleaching agent: 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) (4 h a day/21 days); 6% hydrogen peroxide (HP) with calcium (1:30 h a day/21 days); HP 20% with calcium (50 min a day/3 sessions with a 7-day interval); HP 35% (3 x 15 min a day/3 sessions with a 7-day interval); HP 35% with calcium (40 min a day/3 sessions with a 7-day interval). The samples were stored in artificial saliva during the experiment. The color change was evaluated using a spectrophotometer at the initial analysis, after artificially staining with black tea and after each of the bleaching weeks, and data was expressed in CIE Lab System values. The L* coordinate data was submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey-Kramer test and the E values data was submitted for analysis of variance in a split-plot ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05). Results: None of the bleaching agents tested differed from the reflectance values on the enamel surface. For deep dentin HP 20% and HP 35%, both with calcium, showed the lowest reflectance values, which differed from CP 10%. Conclusion: It is concluded that high concentration hydrogen peroxide with calcium was less effective in deep dentin than 10% carbamide peroxide.52e100e107Joiner, A., Review of the effects of peroxide on enamel and dentine properties (2007) J Dent, 35 (12), pp. 889-896Haywood, V.B., Heymann, H.O., Nightguard vital bleaching (1989) Quintessence Int, 20 (3), pp. 173-176Buchalla, W., Attin, T., External bleaching therapy with activa-tion by heat, light or laser--a systematic review (2007) Dent Mater, 23 (5), pp. 586-596Kim, Y.S., Kwon, H.K., Kim, B.I., Effect of nano-carbonate apa-tite to prevent re-stain after dental bleaching in vitro (2011) J Dent, 39 (9), pp. 636-642Sun, G., The role of lasers in cosmetic dentistry (2000) Dent Clin North Am, 44 (4), pp. 831-850Hanks, C.T., Fat, J.C., Wataha, J.C., Corcoran, J.F., Cytotoxicity and den-tin permeability of carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide vital bleaching materials, in vitro (1993) J Dent Res, 72 (5), pp. 931-938Lima, D.A., Aguiar, F.H., Liporoni, P.C., Munin, E., Ambrosano, G.M., Lovadino, J.R., In vitro evaluation of the effectiveness of bleaching agents activated by different light sources (2009) J Prosthodont, 18 (3), pp. 249-254Matis, B.A., Mousa, H.N., Cochran, M.A., Eckert, G.J., Clinical evaluation of bleaching agents of different concentrations (2000) Quintessence Int, 31 (5), pp. 303-310Meireles, S.S., Heckmann, S.S., Santos, I.S., Della Bona, A., Demarco, F.F., A double blind randomized clinical trial of at-home tooth bleaching using two carbamide peroxide concentrations: 6-month follow-up (2008) J Dent, 36 (11), pp. 878-884Sulieman, M., An overview of bleaching techniques: I.
