This review investigates erosion and abrasion in dental structures undergoing at- home bleaching. Dental erosion is a multifactorial condition that may be idiopathic or caused by a known acid source. Some bleaching agents have a pH lower than the critical level, which can cause changes in the enamel mineral content. Investigations have shown that at-home tooth bleaching with low concentrations ...

r bstract ooth discoloration varies in etiology, appearance, alization, severity, and adhesion to tooth structure an be defined as being extrinsic or intrinsic on asis of localization and etiology. In this review o iterature, various causes of tooth discoloration, dif nt bleaching materials, and their applications to e dontically treated teeth have been described. In alking bleach technique the...

background: bleaching the discoloured teeth may affect the tooth/composite interface. the aim of this in vitro experimental study was to evaluate the effect of vital tooth bleaching on microleakage of existent class v composite resin restorations bonded with three dental bonding agents.     methods: class v cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of 72 intact, extracted human anterior teeth w...

objectives: several studies have assessed the characteristics and properties of silorane-based composites and adhesive systems. considering the extensive application of tooth-whitening agents, possible deteriorative effects of tooth bleaching agents on these restorative materials must be studied. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an in-office carbamide peroxide-based tooth ble...

Beauty is a combination of qualities that delight the sight, other senses or the mind. Today, because of recent introduction and production of materials science and sophisticated dental techniques, better esthetics & improved durability of a restoration is achieved. It was found that color maintenance throughout the functional lifetime of restorations which is an indicator for the durability of...

The elapsed time prior to the placement of bonded restoration possibly affects the bond integrity of resin composite to bleached tooth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of elapsed time after tooth bleaching on microleakage of resin composite restorations with different adhesive systems. Seventy-two extracted sound human premolars were randomly divided into 6 groups of 12 tee...

We investigated color change, gingival irritation, and tooth sensitivity in patients undergoing at-home vital tooth bleaching with a novel over-the-counter bleaching tray system. Tooth color shade in anterior teeth, supragingival plaque and gingivitis in Ramfjord teeth, as well as visual assessment of teeth gingival tissues and mucosa were evaluated in-office prior to treatment, after two conse...

BACKGROUND Bleaching the discoloured teeth may affect the tooth/composite interface. The aim of this in vitro experimental study was to evaluate the effect of vital tooth bleaching on microleakage of existent class V composite resin restorations bonded with three dental bonding agents. METHODS Class V cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of 72 intact, extracted human anterior teeth with ...

background and aim(s): it is highly important for dentists to be aware of the effects of bleaching agents on the surface and mechanical properties of restorative materials. so, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different bleaching strategies on the microhardness of a silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods: eighty samples of a silorane-based composite r...
