Effect of Nano-Pulsed Cold Laser (NPCL) Light on Calcium and Phosphate Loss from Dental Enamel During In-office Bleaching with High Concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide Using Atomic Absorption Spectophotometer
Twenty teeth were sectioned to obtain mesiobuccal, distobuccal, mesiopalatal and distopalatal specimens. The specimens were randomly assigned to four equal groups. 37.5% HP of 1mm thickness was applied to the enamel surface of each specimen. Each group received three cycles of bleaching of 8 minute’s duration. Group II, III & IV received additional application of LED, Diode laser & coldlaserlight respectively.
Results:
Data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. Group III showed the maximum loss of ions while Group IV showed the least loss and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05).
