Abstract
Erosion and abrasion susceptibility of enamel bleached with various bleaching agents at different frequencies
Highlights
Over the past twenty years tooth bleaching or whitening has become one of the most popular and relatively straightforward aesthetic treatments
At-home bleaching gels may be favored over in-office treatments for patients already at risk of erosive tooth wear
This study investigated the impact of six different bleaching agents on increasing enamel surface susceptibility to erosion and brushing abrasion
Summary
Over the past twenty years tooth bleaching or whitening has become one of the most popular and relatively straightforward aesthetic treatments. In the late 1980s this field had developed to introduce various bleaching techniques that were applied to vital teeth. Many products were introduced to the market for both in-office and at-home bleaching [1]. Most bleaching materials are based on either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Both can act as a tooth whitener, but each has different efficacy and safety considerations have been concerns over the safety of long-term unsupervised use of whitening products either due to overuse or undiagnosed underlining oral health problems. . Both can act as a tooth whitener, but each has different efficacy and safety considerations have been concerns over the safety of long-term unsupervised use of whitening products either due to overuse or undiagnosed underlining oral health problems. Even though tooth bleaching is generally considered a relatively safe procedure, many studies have shown various adverse effects of bleaching on both hard and soft tissues and on tooth restorations as well [3,4,5,6]
