| Abstract | |
This in vitro study evaluated the variation of the pH of bleaching gels, roughness and the wear on bovine enamel, after various in office bleaching protocols and brushing. Ninety fragments of enamel, measuring 15mm x 5mm, were randomly divided into nine groups (n=10) according to bleaching procedure: G1: control; G2: 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) (Whiteness HP, FGM) 3x15, 3 sessions with one week between each; G3: 35% HP (Whiteness HP, FGM) 1x45, in 3 sessions; G4: 35% HP (Lase Peroxide, DMC) + hybrid light (HL) (LED/Diode laser, Whitening Lase II, DMC Equipments), 4x730 (6 of HL activation), in 1 session; G5: 25% HP (Lase Peroxide II, DMC) + HL, 4x730 (6 of HL activation), in 1 session; G6: 15% HP (Lase Peroxide Light, DMC) 4x730 (6 of HL activation), in 1 session; G7: 35% HP (Whitegold Office, Dentsply) 3x15, in 3 sessions; G8: 35% HP (Whiteness HP Blue Calcium, FGM) 1x40, in 3 sessions; G9: 20% HP (Whiteness HP Blue Calcium, FGM) 1x50, in 3 sessions. The pH values were determined using a pH meter (Sentron Model 1001, Sentron) during the initial and final gel application times. The surface roughness (Ra) was evaluated with a rugosimeter (Hommel Tester T 1000) before and after bleaching, and after brushing (100,000 strokes). The rugosimeter was used to evaluate wear surface after 24 hours brushing. The data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests for pH values, Kruskall Wallis and Dunns test in relation to wear and surface roughness (p<0.05). It could be concluded that the pH values tended to decrease from the initial to final bleaching. After tooth brushing, bleaching procedures with highly acidic products provided a significant increase in enamel wear and surface roughness. (AU) | |
