Effect of sodium ascorbate on tag formation in bleached enamel.

PURPOSE: This study analyzed the influence of 10% sodium ascorbate (SA) on tag formation in bleached enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Five groups were tested: G1 - control; G2 - bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) + restoration; G3 - CP + SA + restoration; G4 - bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) + restoration; and G5 - HP + SA + restoration. The teeth were sectioned and decalcified, and the resin tags were analyzed at 400X magnification using an optical light microscope and Axiovision software. RESULTS: The resin tag lengths in µm for each group were as follows: G1 - 36.1A; G2 - 5.8C; G3 - 14.4B; G4 - 1.7D; G5 - 6.5C. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION: Tooth bleaching with CP or HP impairs the formation of resin tags, and the utilization of sodium ascorbate increases tags length.

Evaluating the bonding of two adhesive systems to enamel submitted to whitening dentifrices.

The aim of this study was to evaluate by micro-shear bond strength test, the bond strength of composite resin restoration to enamel submitted to whitening dentifrices. Forty bovine teeth were embedded in polystyrene resin and polished. The specimens were randomly divided into eight groups (n=5), according to the dentifrice (carbamide peroxide, hydrogen peroxide and conventional dentifrice) and the adhesive system (Prime & Bond 2.1 and Adper Single Bond 2). Dentifrice was applied for 15 minutes a day, for 21 days. Thirty minutes after the last exposure to dentifrice, the samples were submitted to a bonding procedure with the respective adhesive system. After that, four buttons of resin were bonded in each sample using transparent cylindrical molds. After 24 hours, the teeth were submitted to the micro-shear bond strength test and subsequent analysis of the fracture mode. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and Fisher's PLSD test (alpha = 0.05). The micro-shear bond strength showed no difference between adhesives systems but a significant reduction was found between the control and carbamide groups (p = 0.0145) and the control and hydrogen groups (p = 0.0370). The evaluation of the failures modes showed that adhesive failures were predominant. Cohesive failures were predominant in group IV The use of dentifrice with peroxides can decrease bonding strength in enamel.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, pelo metodo de microcisalhamento, a resistencia adesiva obtida em restauracoes de resina composta realizadas sobre o esmalte dental previamente exposto a diferentes dentifricios. Para isso, quarenta dentes bovinos foram incluidos em resina de poliestireno e polidos. Os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 8 grupos (n=5) de acordo com o dentifricio utilizado (cremes contendo peroxido de hidrogenio, peroxido de carbamida ou dentifricio convencional) e sistema adesivo (Prime & Bond 2.1 ou Adper single Bond 2). Os dentes foram expostos por 15 minutos por dia durante 21 dias as suspensoes dos respectivos cremes dentais. Trinta minutos apos a ultima exposicao ao dentifricio, os dentes foram restaurados empregando os 2 diferentes sistemas adesivos e resina composta. Apos 24 horas os dentes foram submetidos ao teste de microcisalhamento e posterior analise do padrao de fratura. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos a analise de variancia e teste de Fisher's PLSD (α=0.05). Nao foi detectada diferenca estatistica entre os adesivos, porem entre os tratamentos com dentifricios, houve reducao estatisticamente significante entre os grupos controle x carbamida (p=0.0145) e entre o grupo controle x hidrogenio (p=0.0370). Na avaliacao do tipo de fratura houve predominancia de falhas adesivas, com excecao do grupo IV que apresentou maior fratura coesiva em esmalte. Assim, a utilizacao de cremes dentais, contendo peroxidos em suas formulacoes, pode provocar uma reducao na resistencia de uniao ao esmalte.

Influência de uma substância antioxidante na união de materiais resinosos à dentina após a realização de clareamento / Effect of sodium ascorbate on tag and hybrid layer formation in dentin after bleaching

Este estudo analisou a influência do ascorbato de sódio 10% (AS) na formação de tags e camada híbrida em dentina após clareamento dental. Materiais e métodos: Foram testados 6 grupos. GI- Controle: somente restaurações de Resina Composta (RC); GII- Ascorbato de Sódio (AS) + RC; GIII- clareamento com peróxido de carbamida 10% (PC) + RC; GIV- PC + AS + RC; GV- clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio 35% (PH) + RC; GVI– PH + AS + RC. Após os tratamentos, os dentes foram seccionados e descalcificados. Os cortes foram montados em lâminas de vidro e corados pelo método Brown & Brenn. A análise em microscopia óptica comum (Axiophot) em 400X, evidenciou os tags e camada híbrida formados. Resultados: Os dados foram tabulados, sendo obtidas as respectivas médias para comprimento dos tags e a espessura da camada híbrida: GI- 10 e 3.1μm, GII- 9.2 e 2.4 μm, GIII- 5.4 e 1.5 μm, GIV- 6.8 e 2.1 μm, GV- 5.7 e 1.6 μm, GVI- 7.1 e 2.1 μm. Conclusão: O clareamento dental com PC ou PH prejudica a formação de tags resinosos e camada híbrida. O uso do AS aumentou o comprimento destas estruturas.
