A Comparative Evaluation of Nanohydroxyapatite-Enriched Hydrogen Peroxide Home Bleaching System on Color, Hardness and Microstructure of Dental Enamel

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate two hydrogen peroxide (HP)-based at-home bleaching systems in order to analyze whether nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) addition may represent a reliable and safe solution for tooth whitening without altering dental microstructure and hardness. Human third molars (N = 15) were treated with two bleaching agents, one containing 6%HP (6HP) and the other 6% HP nHA-enriched (6HP-nHA) with average particle diameter ranging from 5–20 nm. Their effects on enamel were assessed using a spectrophoto… Show more

“…A previous study suggested that a clinically acceptable level of visual perception was possible when (∆E = 3.7) in the CIELab system [58]. This system contains three coordinates: L* which refers to the luminosity of the object and fluctuates from black to white; a* which indicates the chroma in the green-red axis; and the b* which represents the chroma in the axis of blue-yellow [60]. Each color has a numerical value, delivering an objective description [27].…”

“…Despite their effectiveness, peroxide-based products can cause severe abrasion of dental structures and are toxic/corrosive to any tissue in general. However, new studies highlighted that a low percentage of hydrogen peroxide, together with new nanofillers, allows for maintenance of enamel structure [ 4 ]. In this context, attempts are being made to develop whitening products with enzymatic action, which in some cases seem to be just as effective in removing extrinsic stains.…”

“…However, there are still several limitations that need to be considered. First, bleaching increased the porosity of the superficial enamel structure and reduced protein concentration and promoted organic matrix degradation (Berger et al, 2010;Monterubbianesi et al, 2021). Whether the thermoforming film loaded with hydrogen peroxide sustained-release gel would affect the surface hardness and surface structure of teeth has yet to be investigated.…”
