Abstract
The Effect of Neutral Sodium Fluoride, Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate, and Nano-Carbonate Apatite on Enamel Surface Roughness and Staining after Home Bleaching
Highlights
Teeth color is one of the reasons for seeking dental esthetic treatment [1]
After the application of the three surface treatments, enamel treated with nano-carbonate Apatite Paste (n-CAP) showed a significant reduction in surface roughness (P=0.002) and recorded the lowest color change after staining (ΔE2=4.1)
No significant difference in color was found between the specimens treated with Flor-Opal, GC Tooth Mousse, and specimens treated with n-CAP after staining
Summary
It has been proven that self-satisfaction with the teeth color decreases with increasing severity of discoloration [2]. Dentist can treat discolored teeth with a variety of methods ranging from removal of surface stains, bleaching, veneers and crowns depending on the severity of discoloration. There are several methods to whiten teeth such as the use of bleaching agents [3,4]. Carbamide peroxide or sodium perborate are the main active chemical components of most agents used in teeth bleaching [5,6]. Studies have shown changes in chemical composition, mineral content, [9] and surface roughness of bleached teeth [10]. Rough enamel surface can be discolored after bleaching [11]
