AIM To evaluate the influence of tooth bleaching on immunoregulatory cytokines production (IL-6, Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-17) in the pulp tissue of normoglycaemic and diabetic rats. METHODOLOGY Twenty-eight rats were divided into normoglycaemic and diabetic rats (n = 14). Diabetes mellitus (DM) was induced with a single dose of alloxan diluted in citrate buffer via intramuscular ...

UNLABELLED Older people who remain reasonably well may wish to maintain or enhance their dental and oral appearance, preferably at minimal biologic and financial costs. Bleaching and bonding represents a very good treatment option and a sensible strategy for this group. Bleaching addresses the discoloration, while direct composite bonding can improve the shape of worn, or otherwise unaesthetic,...

Traumatized teeth can bleed internally, causing discoloration over time. When this occurs in the smile zone, masking the dark colorations can present challenges when attempting to practice conservative cosmetic dentistry. Implementing nonvital bleaching can significantly improve the dark colorations of the traumatized teeth and support very conservative cosmetic dentistry. Effective communicati...

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of whitening toothpastes and mouthrinses on the color stability of teeth bleached with 16% carbamide peroxide (CP) after immersion in coffee solution. Materials and methods: Specimens obtained from bovine incisors were bleached with 16% CP for 14 days. After bleaching, the specimens were stained in coffee solution for 24 h and randomly divided ...

CONTEXT The possibility of bleaching vital teeth with peroxide-based products considerably revolutionized esthetic dentistry. AIM The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate tooth color change and dental sensitivity after exposure to preloaded film containing a 10% hydrogen peroxide whitening system (Opalescence Trθswhite Supreme). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 13 volunteers, aged 18 ...

This study evaluated the degree of color change of teeth, the rebound effect and the sensitivities of teeth and gingiva associated with the use of an in-office bleaching agent followed by an at-home bleaching agent to lighten stained teeth in an in vivo study. Thirty-seven subjects who met the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria were divided into two cells. Twenty-five subjects received three 15-minut...

BACKGROUND The daily application time for 10 percent carbamide peroxide (CP) typically is between four and eight hours. However, to the authors' knowledge, no investigators in clinical studies have compared different application times; this is the aim of this study. METHODS The authors recruited 60 patients and categorized each of them into one of four groups. All participants used 10 percent...

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are used as the main agents in vital tooth bleaching. In this study, the influence of peroxide treatment on cross-sectional morphology and mechanical property was investigated. A 3 x 5-mm window of enamel on the labial surface of a bovine tooth was exposed to immersion in 10% or 30% carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide for 30 or 180 min. After immersi...

The increase in aesthetic demands has increased the use of ceramic dental restorations dentistry. Ceramic are bonded to tooth structure using adhesives. There is a lack standard guidelines terms post-bleaching time intervals and bond strengths restorations. Bleaching products have also been stated affect morphology enamel. Therefore, purpose this systematic review evaluate strength between enam...
