The effect of hydrogen peroxide gel on the color of the inner section of extracted teeth / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the color change of tooth i nduced by hydrogen peroxide gel. Method:12 extracted teeth were randomly assigned to two groups (n=6) and treated with 350 g/L and 75 g/L hy drogen peroxide gel respectively. One of the 6 samples in each group was used as the control. The bleaching gel was placed onto the enamel surface of the sample s. In 350 g/L gel group digital photographs were taken just before,10 and 30 min after the process, in 75 g/L gel group digital photographs were taken before an d 1.5?N(N=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) hours after the process respectively. All photograph s were taken at the same illuminating conditions and photographic parameters wer e analyzed with Photoshop7.0 software. Results:10.5 h after trea tment in the 75 g/L gel group L *, a * and b * values on the teeth surface were in creased(+) or decreased(-) by +4.5,-1.4 and -0.5,those on the inner sections 2.7 ,-1.0 and -0.8,respectively. 30 min after treatment in the 350 g/L gel group L *, a * and b * values on the teeth surfaces were increased(+) or decreased (-) by +1.9,-0.6 and 0,those on the inner sections +0.4,-0.4 and -0.6,respectively. Conclusion:Effective bleaching effect may be obtained in 10~30 min b y 75 g/L or 350 g/L hydrogen peroxide gel on teeth surface and in inner dentin. 75 g/L hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel may produce more reliable and save effect than 350 g/L.
