Physicochemical changes in enamel submitted to pH cycling and bleaching treatment

Abstract: ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the hardness, mineral content, surface roughness, and micromorphology of sound and slightly demineralized enamels, before and after bleaching procedure using 10% carbamide peroxide.MethodsSixty bovine dental blocks were randomly divided into the following two groups: 30 slabs were submitted to three cycles of pH and 30 slabs were noncycled. Hardness (n=10) was measured using the microhardness tester with Knoop indenter under a 50 g load for 5 seconds. The calciu… Show more

“…Morphological changes in enamel, caused by peroxide-based bleaching agents, have been reported due to changes in inorganic and organic composition, decreasing its hardness and increasing its surface roughness ( 1 , 4 , 19 ). In addition, during bleaching free radicals generated can increase the porosity on tooth surface, as it reacts non-selectively with the organic structures of dental tissues ( 1 , 13 , 19 ).…”

“…Final polishing was carried out with diamond solution (MetaDi Supreme; Buehler Inc.) of ½ and ¼ granulation and felt disc for 30 s using the polishing machine; between the solutions and at end of process the specimens were cleaned ultrasonically for 5 min. Dental blocks were immersed in artificial saliva for 30 days to standardize the mineral content, changed daily ( 19 ). Then, blocks were embedded in polystyrene resin Piraglass, Piracicaba, SP, Brazil) with buccal enamel surface exposed.…”

“…In general, Sodium Ascorbate application provided higher re-hardening values compared to acidulated phosphate fluoride gel and Relief gel. According to the literature, the effects of bleaching agents are related to exposure time, type and concentration of the active ingredient [5]. In this in-vitro study, the manufacturer's directions for the product application time and method were followed exactly, in order to mimic clinical conditions and clinical material's effects while conducting evaluations.…”

“…Although, mostly they are reversible with the degradation of bleaching agent, the pH becomes acidic and bleaching can cause some alterations on the hard dental tissues [4,5]. Alterations of enamel properties like decreased microhardness, mineral loss, increased roughness and porosity have been reported [5,6]. However, the results reported in the literature are controversial since some other studies did not find any significant difference in enamel after bleaching [7 -10].…”
