Abstract:This in vitro study evaluated the effect of three different in-office bleaching techniques on bovine enamel microhardness and the pH variation of peroxide agents during the protocols. Methodology: For Knoop microhardness (KNH) analyses, enamel fragments were divided into 3 groups (n=10): LEDv–hybrid violet LED/Laser light (10x2’ LEDv + 10x30” light-off, 2 cycles); HP6%LEDv–6% HP gel + LEDv/Laser (15x1’ LEDv + 15x1’ light-off); HP35%- 35% HP (1x45’). For pH measurements, bovine teeth were divided into 2 groups … Show more
