Effects of 10% Carbamide Peroxide Teeth Whitening System on Periodontal Health

Svrha rada bila je istražiti utjecaj sredstva za izbjeljivanje zuba s 10 %-tnim karbamidnim peroksidom (VivaStyle, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) na zdravlje parodonta. U studiju je bilo uključeno 10 ispitanika u dobi od 22 do 29 godina, s klinički zdravim parodontnim tkivima, a željeli su promijeniti nijansu boje zuba. Tijekom 12 dana njihovi su zubi bili svaki dan podvrgnuti jednosatnom tretmanu 10 %-tnim karbamidnim peroksidom. Svi su morali tijekom postupka voditi dnevnik mogućih nelagoda. Na početku - šestog i dvanaestog dana - kod svih ispitanika izmjerene su vrijednosti API-a i PBI-a te su im zubi fotografi rani u zagrizu. Svi su zubi postupkom izbijeljeni barem za jednu nijansu. Tijekom tretmana nije bilo promjena ni u akumulaciji plaka, ni u upali gingive. Taj postupak nema nikakva utjecaja na zdravlje parodonta.The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a 10% carbamide peroxide bleaching gel (VivaStyle, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) on periodontal health. Ten participants, 22 to 29 years of age, with clinically healthy periodontal tissues and a wish to change the shade of their teeth, participated in this study. Subjects were treated with 10% carbamide peroxide for one hour daily during 12 days. The volunteers were instructed to keep a diary of possible disturbances during the teeth whitening procedure. At baseline, on 6th and on 12th day API score and PBI score were measured and clinical photograph of teeth in intercuspidation relation was taken. All teeth demonstrated change of at least one shade. There was no change in either plaque accumulation, or gingival inflammation during the teeth whitening procedure. This teeth whitening procedure seems not to have any influence on the periodontal health
