“…In order to prevent the delay of recovery treatment after bleaching, various antioxidant agents, including sodium ascorbate (SA) [16,21,27], proanthocyanidins (PC) [28,29], green tea extract [4,5,7,13,16], pine bark extract [30], aloe extract [5,16], and grape seed extract [16,31], have been attempted, among which, SA and PC have shown promising results [4,5,14,28,29]. Nevertheless, the results of antioxidants with different types and durations are quite different [4,5,[8][9][10]32,33]. Consequently, we conducted the present in vitro study to compare the effects of 10% SA and 5% PC on the immediate BS-RBE.…”
