Objective: This study evaluated the inflammatory responses of human dental pulp after the use of two bleaching techniques. Material and Methods: Pulp samples were collected from human third molars extracted for orthodontic reasons and divided into three groups: control - no tooth bleaching (CG) (n=7); at-home bleaching with 15% carbamide peroxide (AH) (n = 10), and in-office bleaching with 38...

Objectives. Extra radicular diffusion of hydrogen peroxide associated with intracoronal teeth bleaching was evaluated. Methods. 108 intact single rooted extracted mandibular first premolars teeth were selected. The teeth were instrumented with WaveOne system and obturated with gutta percha and divided into four groups (n = 27) according to the bleaching materials used. Each main group was divid...

Thisin vitro study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tooth whitening on the surface roughness of dental restorative materials using AFM. Two hybrid resin composites and nano-ionomer were fabricated in samples with 2 mm thickness and 6 mm diameter. No changes in roughness was observed for all three materials tested after 14 days of bleaching with 20% carbamide peroxide (CP), compared to th...

PURPOSE The aim of the present in vitro study was to assess the effect of bleaching agents on eroded and sound enamel specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS Enamel specimens prepared from human permanent anterior teeth were incubated with different bleaching agents containing active ingredients as 7.5 or 13.5% hydrogen peroxide or 35% carbamide peroxide, ranging in pH from 4.9 to 10.8. The effect o...

objective: the present in vitro study was undertaken to compare the effects of hydrogel and solution forms of sodium ascorbate on microleakage of composite restorations subsequent to a non-vital bleaching procedure with 10% carbamide peroxide. materials and methods: forty-eight sound extracted human maxillary incisors were obtained. following root canal therapy, the teeth were randomly divided ...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the influence of coffee, tea, cola, and red wine staining on the color of teeth after home bleaching. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 samples were obtained from 45 sound maxillary central incisors. The home bleaching procedure was performed using 10% carbamide peroxide gel applied to the sample surface for a period of 6 h each day, for 14 days. After bleachi...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate changes in the enamel surface of bovine teeth after whitening with exogenous bleaching agents: 10% carbamide peroxide (group 1), 16% carbamide peroxide (group 2) and 35% hydrogen peroxide activated by a light-emitting diode (LED) (group 3). The evaluations were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety bovine teeth wer...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if there are any significant long-term clinical benefits, or side effects, caused by the addition of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to a professional, 16% peroxide bleaching gel. METHODOLOGY This study examined the effect of bleaching gel with added ACP in a subset of subjects (n=27) from a previously published, short-term (n=50) study, ...

Background: Bleaching is the procedure of re-whitening teeth that have darkened to a shade near their natural hue. Due unfavorable impact chemical bleaching materials on enamel demineralization, quest for solutions same whitening effect while minimizing negative consequences encouraged. The punica granatum fruit one components can be employed. Purpose: This study aims analyze application white ...
