“…Moreover, its special LED light accelerator activates the photocatalytic active ingredient of Actilux that destroy the stain molecules and lasts all day to naturally whiten the teeth as reported by the manufacturer. These results were in agreement with previous studies (25,26) which reported that BlanX toothpaste had a significant whitening effect on enamel.…”

Objective: to evaluate the effect of peroxide free versus peroxide containing whitening agents on color change and surface roughness of enamel.Methods: A total of 30 bovine incisors were used for the current study. Teeth roots were sectioned and crowns were mounted in self-cured acrylic resin blocks. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n= 10) according to the whitening agent used: Group I: Control group (No treatment), Group II: Peroxide free whitening agent (BlanX White Shock toothpaste) and Group III: Peroxide containing whitening agent (White smile bleaching agent). The specimens were stained using black tea solution. BlanX toothpaste was used twice daily for 8 days while white smile bleaching material was applied for 3 sessions, 20 min each. Color change was assessed using VITA Easyshade spectrophotometer and surface roughness (Ra) was measured using a white light interferometer. Data were tabulated and statistically analyzed. Results:Color change results revealed that both whitening agents were able to restore color comparable to the control group with no significant difference between them. Regarding surface roughness, no significant difference was reported between BlanX toothpaste and the control group which showed low surface roughness while white smile bleaching agent recorded the highest surface roughness value. Conclusion:BlanX toothpaste was able to improve tooth color without altering enamel surface roughness. Although, white smile bleaching agent was effective in restoring tooth color, it negatively affects surface roughness.

Natural Conservative Dentistry: An Alternative Approach to Solve Restorative Problems

Nowadays, bleaching is one of the most common procedures in aesthetic dentistry. When comparing bleaching to other treatment options for vital teeth whitening such as crowns or ceramic laminates, it proved to be more conservative. Bleaching is not only a well-established technique but also provides effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the active components used for bleaching. Although bleaching is a well-tolerated method, some patients still report sensitivity during and after bleaching. Hydrogen peroxide is considered the main agent responsible for this hypersensitivity. The bleaching effect is the result of the oxidation reaction of the tooth pigments by means of the hydrogen peroxide molecules. Serious damage to the pulp tissue can be the result of the reaction’s by-products reaching the pulp. The deleterious effect of the bleaching agents is not only on the pulp but also on the gingival tissues and bone, where bone inflammation and resorption have been reported. Therefore, efforts have been made to obtain effective tooth bleaching with less or no harmful effects on enamel, pulp, and oral mucosa and with no contraindications. Natural alternatives to peroxide bleaching have been mentioned in the literature. These alternatives can produce an oxidative reaction and stain removal effects, without deleterious outcomes. Natural products give us some certainty about non-cytotoxic biological behavior, resulting in little or no harmful effects. Also, the organic acids present in raw fruits have demonstrated the ability to maintain or improve the color of the teeth. Therefore, the development of new tooth-bleaching agents based on natural products with comparable aesthetic results and minor side effects would be beneficial.
