Abstract

Abstract Introduction Obtaining the result expected during tooth bleaching requires a correct diagnosis of the type of staining presented. The causes of tooth staining differ depending on the etiological factor. Objective To assess the color change caused by the immersion of bovine teeth in coffee solution during at-home tooth bleaching using a 16% carbamide peroxide gel. Material and method Thirty-three sound bovine teeth were assigned to three groups of eleven teeth each: 1 – Teeth bleached (TB) four hours per day for 21 days; 2 – TB four hours per day for 21 days and immersed in coffee solution immediately after tooth bleaching; 3 – TB four hours per day for 21 days and immersed in coffee solution four hours after the end of tooth bleaching. Immersed in coffee was performed for 15 minutes and tooth color was assessed before the start of the bleaching procedure and after 21 days with an intraoral spectrophotometer. Test Shapiro-Wilk was used to assess homoscedasticity and data were submitted to one-factor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s test (p <0.05). Result The color change observed in group 1 (5.76 ± 2.74)A was not statistically different from group 2 (8.83 ±5.11)A, which was immersed in coffee solution immediately after tooth bleaching, and from group 3, which was immersed in coffee solution four hours after tooth bleaching (8.20 ±3.71)A. Conclusion Coffee did not interfere with the tooth bleaching results, regardless of the time after the procedure. Hence, diet restrictions are not necessary during tooth bleaching.

Highlights

Obtaining the result expected during tooth bleaching requires a correct diagnosis of the type of staining presented
The causes of tooth staining differ depending on the etiological factor, and they are classified in two main groups: intrinsic and extrinsic staining[3,4,5]
This study aimed to determine the effect of tooth enamel staining by coffee consumption during at-home tooth bleaching with 16% carbamide peroxide using the quantified parameters of the CIE Lab system in the following treatments: 1) Teeth stained with coffee solution daily, immediately after tooth bleaching; and 2) Teeth stained with coffee solution daily, four hours after the end of tooth bleaching

Summary

Introduction

Obtaining the result expected during tooth bleaching requires a correct diagnosis of the type of staining presented. The causes of tooth staining differ depending on the etiological factor. Objective: To assess the color change caused by the immersion of bovine teeth in coffee solution during at-home tooth bleaching using a 16% carbamide peroxide gel. The causes of tooth staining differ depending on the etiological factor, and they are classified in two main groups: intrinsic and extrinsic staining[3,4,5]. The most common and effective techniques for tooth bleaching are at-home, in-office, or the association of both, and they depend on the needs of each patient and the level of staining observed[4]. At-home tooth bleaching is effective and extensively promoted due to the reduced time in dental visits, lower cost to patients, and lower risk of tooth sensitivity after the procedure[6]
