“…However, there is no evidence that dental enamel damage can occur. 25 Patients should be directed to use these formulations properly, as there may be potential for increased abrasiveness and damage to enamel. 4,22 Whitening dentifrices can be more effective in altering the color of teeth than the conventional dentifrices.…”

Objective This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the effects of whitening dentifrices on enamel color, the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets and adhesive remnant index (ARI). Materials and Methods Eighty bovine teeth with brackets were randomly divided into four groups (n = 20): control group (GC)–water, test group 1 (GT1)–Colgate Total 12, test group 2 (GT2)–Curaprox Black Is White, and group test 3 (GT3)–Luminous White. All groups were submitted to brushing, simulating 12 months. The specimens were exposed to spectrophotometer color evaluation and to a shear strength test in a universal test machine using a 300 kN load with a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The ARI was evaluated with a stereoscopic magnifying glass. Statistical Analysis Nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s tests were used for the color analysis, and Friedman and Nemenyi tests were used to compare the times in the variable. To compare the shear force between the groups, the data were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test, and ARI was analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, always with a significance level of 5%. Results In the color analysis, GT3 presented the greatest progression in whitening effect. GT1 had greater shear strength than GT3 did (p ≤ 0.05). For ARI, the score 1 was predominant in the GC and GT1. The GT2 and GT3 groups had scores of 3. Conclusion The whitening dentifrices promoted significant color change over the 12-month brushing time and may have interfered in the resistance to shear bond strength and ARI.

“…'Educate their patients about the unproven claims of oral benefits and possible health risks associated with the use of charcoal dentifrices and the potential increased risk of developing dental caries with the use of these non-fluoridated or possibly charcoalinactivated fluoride products' . 1 The 'possible health risks' associated with the use of charcoal-based toothpastes have been considered to be related to the possible inclusion of human carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons in charcoal and the use of bentonite clay in some charcoalbased dentifrices. 1 Bentonite clay belongs to a heterogenous group of clays with various industrial applications and uses in skin care products, medications and toothpastes.…”

“…Charcoal dentifrices are increasingly fashionable oral hygiene products, intended for toothbrushing, extrinsic stain removal and 'tooth whitening' . 1 The popularity of charcoal toothpastes is believed to be increasing in many countries across the world. In the UK, charcoal toothpastes and powders may be purchased from major retailers including, but not limited to, Superdrug, Boots, Tesco and Sainsbury's (Table 1).…”
