Effects of a bleaching agent with calcium on bovine enamel

Abstract: Objective:This in vitro study analyzed the effects of a bleaching treatment containing 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) with or without calcium on bovine enamel, using the Knoop hardness number (KHN), tristimulus colorimetry (TC), and scanning electron microscopy.Materials and Methods:Forty-five specimens were randomly divided into groups (n = 5), which included artificial saliva (negative control [NC]), 35% HP (positive control [PC]), and 35% HP Blue Calcium (HP Blue). The specimens were subjected to three bleachin… Show more

“…The manufacturer suggests that calcium is intended to minimize the enamel demineralization process. Studies have reported that adding calcium into the bleaching agents prevents changes in enamel hardness and morphology without reducing bleaching efficacy, in vitro (25). There are some limitations to be considered.…”

“…Considering the pH level effect, Alexandrino et al .,[ 28 ] in 2014, reported that the use of an HP based gel capable of a 7.0 pH maintenance didn’t affect the enamel microhardness, but under SEM evaluation, none of the tested gels caused morphological changes over the specimens´ surface.…”

“…Hydrogen peroxide at high concentrations must not come into contact with soft oral tissues, and patients have reported both severe and mild tooth hypersensitivity during and after bleaching. [ 1 2 3 4 ]…”
