RESUMO
RESUMEN Introducción: Los fabricantes de DMC peróxido de hidrógeno al 35% proponen una técnica de blanqueamiento de dientes vitales que malgasta el producto y el tiempo de tratamiento, por lo que una técnica modificada traería beneficios materiales y económicos para operadores y pacientes. Objetivo: Describir la aplicación de una técnica modificada de blanqueamiento dental en dientes vitales utilizando DMC peróxido de hidrógeno al 35%. Presentación del caso: Paciente femenina de 44 años a quien se le realiza un tratamiento de blanqueamiento dental con una modificación de la técnica propuesta por el fabricante del producto. La modificación consistió en el empleo de una sola aplicación del gel blanqueador, en lugar de tres aplicaciones, y aumento del tiempo de exposición a 40 min, en lugar de los 10-15 min recomendados por el fabricante. Las variables empleadas para evaluar el tratamiento y sus resultados fueron definidas por el registro del color inicial y posterior al tratamiento, y por la satisfacción de la paciente con el resultado del mismo. Los dientes expuestos al tratamiento se encontraban con tejidos de esmalte sanos sin exposición de la dentina en ninguna de las superficies. Conclusiones: La modificación descrita de la técnica de blanqueamiento propuesta por el fabricante con DMC Lase Peroxide Sensy (peróxido de hidrógeno al 35%) consistente fundamentalmente en el empleo de una sola aplicación y aumento del tiempo de exposición en una sola sesión de tratamiento, aportó un ahorro del producto sustancial y condujo al cambio de la coloración final de los dientes, con la plena satisfacción de la paciente y protegido el esmalte superficial de sus dientes tratados.
ABSTRACT Introduction: The manufacturers of DMC 35% hydrogen peroxide propose a whitening technique of vital teeth that waste the product and the time of treatment, so a modified technique would bring material and economic benefits for operators and patients. Objective: To describe the application of a modified technique in vital teeth whitening using DMC 35% hydrogen peroxide. Case presentation: A 44-year-old female patient undergoing a whitening treatment with a modification of the technique proposed by the product manufacturer. The modification consisted in the use of a single application of the bleaching gel instead of three applications, and an increase in the exposure time to 40 min instead of the 10-15 min recommended by the manufacturer. The variables used to evaluate the treatment and its results were defined by the registration of the color before and after treatment and also by the satisfaction of the patient with the result. The teeth exposed to treatment were found with healthy enamel tissues without dentine exposure on any of the surfaces. Conclusions: The described modification of the whitening technique proposed by the manufacturer with DMC Lase Peroxide Sensy (35% hydrogen peroxide) consisting mainly on the use of a single application and the increase of the exposure time in a single treatment session contributed to a considerable saving of the product and led to the change of the final coloring of the teeth, which resulted in the full satisfaction of the patient and the protection of her exposed teeth and tissues.
RESUMO
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: There is a reduction of dentin bonding strength when the bonding procedure is carried out immediately after bleaching with peroxides. PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate a proper time interval for in-office bleaching technique using 35% hydrogen peroxide. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty extracted non-caries human third molars were used in this study. Buccal enamel of each tooth was removed and polished by 600 grits silicone carbide paper. They were randomly divided into five groups and bleached 35% hydrogen peroxide except control group. All groups were bonded with Single Bond/Z 350 after each time intervals ; Group-A: control, no bleaching treatment. Group-B: resin bonding immediately after bleaching. Group-C: resin bonding 1day after bleaching. Group-D: resin bonding 2 days after bleaching. Group-E: resin bonding 7days after bleaching. Shear bond strengths were measured with a cross-head speed of 1.0 mm/min using an Instron machine. The data of results were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey multiple comparison test. (P = .05) RESULTS: There were significant decreases in mean shear strength in immediately bonding group after bleaching. The reduction of bond strengths was 78% compared with the group of no bleaching treatment. Group C showed the recovery of 51%, and Group D showed recovery of 63%. Both of them have no statistical difference with non-bleaching group. Group E showed no statistical difference with no bleaching treatment group. CONCLUSION: Dentin bonding strength is significantly reduced when bonding is performed immediately after bleaching for in-office bleaching regimens using 35% hydrogen peroxide, and increases as time goes by. One week of elapsed time between bleaching and resin bonding significantly increases bonding strengths for the in-office bleaching technique.
