Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate bleaching efficacy and oral health-related quality of life (ORHQoL) of three bleaching systems with similar hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentration for up to 6 months post-treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized controlled trial was designed with three parallel groups: group A - in-office 6% HP paint-on varnish; group B - at-home 6% HP with adaptable tray; group C - at-home 16% carbamide peroxide with custom tray. At three different stages (baseline, after bleaching, and 6-month follow-up), ORHQoL was evaluated by the OHIP-14 questionnaire and tooth color of the upper canines and central incisors were measured by two shade guides and a spectrophotometer (measuring CIE L*a*b* with respective color/whiteness differences - ΔE00/ΔWID). Results were presented as mean and 95% confidence intervals and statistical tests were performed appropriately, considering a significance level of α = 0.05. RESULTS All groups presented significant color differences (P < 0.05) between all stages, with ΔE00/ΔWID surpassing the perceptibility threshold in 98% cases, with group C's results being significantly (P < 0.05) higher when compared to other groups, although with significantly (P < 0.05) higher values of color relapse. Significative ORHQoL improvements (P < 0.05) were detected after bleaching in a global analysis with no differences between techniques. CONCLUSIONS All techniques presented bleaching efficacy, color stability, and improvements in ORHQoL up to 6 months post-treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians may consider both at-home and in-office bleaching techniques with 6% HP to attain long-lasting satisfactory clinical results while producing positive changes in ORHQoL.

Abstract
Bleaching agents containing a high concentration of H2O2 in the dental market lead to formation of reactive oxygen species, which have genotoxic effects. However, ozone bleaching, one of the most effective oxidants known, stimulates blood circulation and immune response and thus it has strong antimicrobial activity against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. For these reasons, one of our hypothesis was ozone bleaching would reduce local and systemic DNA damage in the body. Hence, we aimed to determine the oxidative DNA damage biomarker levels in serum, saliva, and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) by measuring 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) after different bleaching methods.Forty-eight volunteers who requested dental bleaching were divided into three treatment groups (n = 16). Group 1: ozone bleaching with the ozone-releasing machine; Group 2: chemical bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) gel; Group 3: 40% H2O2 gel activated with the diode laser. Initial and post-operative (immediately after bleaching and two weeks later) color measurements were performed with a spectrophotometer. The color changes were calculated with the CIEDE2000 (ΔE 00) formula. 8-OHdG levels in serum, saliva, and GCF samples were determined with ELISA. All three treatments resulted in efficient and statistically similar bleaching. The 8-OHdG levels in the serum and saliva were not affected by all bleaching methods (p > 0.05), but a temporary increase was observed in the GCF for chemical and laser-assisted groups except the ozone group (p > 0.05). According to the findings, chemical and laser-assisted bleaching can affect DNA damage locally but not systemically. Bleaching with ozone may eliminate this local DNA damage.

Abstract
Optical emission spectroscopy was performed during atmospheric pressure plasma needle helium jet treatment of various tooth-bleaching gels. When the gel sample was inserted under the plasma plume, the intensity of all the spectral features increased approximately two times near the plasma needle tip and up to two orders of magnitude near the sample surface. The color change of the hydroxylapatite pastille treated with bleaching gels in conjunction with the atmospheric pressure plasma jet was found to be in correlation with the intensity of OH emission band (309 nm). Using argon as an additive to helium flow (2 L/min), a linear increase (up to four times) of OH intensity and, consequently, whitening (up to 10%) of the pastilles was achieved. An atmospheric pressure plasma jet activates bleaching gel, accelerates OH production, and accelerates tooth bleaching (up to six times faster).

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Purpose
This study evaluated the temperature of the pulpal chamber (PC) of teeth submitted to the light activation with and without bleaching gel, using different types of light sources.
Materials and methods
A digital thermometer, thermocouple K type, was located in the PC of human upper central incisors and the specimens received light activation from the following sources: G1—Laser, G2—Halogen light, G3—progressive intensity halogen lamp, G4—LED/Laser. The light was applied for 3 minutes, with and without the use of bleaching gel. The data were collected after every 30 seconds and analyzed by three-way ANOVA and Tukey's test.
Results
The mean values were: Use of the gel—with gel: 3.09a, without gel: 2.79b; Type of light source—G1: 0.60a, G2: 2.38b, G3: 4.16c, G4: 4.63d; Time of activation 30 seconds: 1.15a, 1 minutes: 2.20b, 1 minutes 30 seconds: 2.97c, 2 minutes: 3.44d, 2 minutes 30 seconds: 3.81e, 3 minutes: 4.09e.
Conclusions
The use of bleaching gel associated with light activation resulted in higher heating of the PC. LED/LASER light and progressive intensity halogen lamp showed highest levels of heating. The increase of irradiation time significantly increased the temperature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the whitening efficacy of three whitening agents in combination with six different photoactivation systems. BACKGROUND Bleaching techniques have achieved significant advances using photoactivation with coherent or incoherent radiation sources. METHODS Quick White, Ena White Power, and Opalescence Endo bleaching agents, all containing 35% hydrogen peroxide, were stimulated with halogen lamp, light-emitting diode (LED), low-power diode laser, and neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG), second harmonic of Nd:YAG, and Er:YAG lasers. One hundred twenty-six extracted human incisors were treated, and color change, pulpal temperature, and enamel morphological alterations were evaluated. RESULTS Only the groups that were photoactivated using a diode laser, halogen lamp, and LED showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.005) in color change when compared with the control group (without photoactivation). All whitening protocols were safe with regard to the increase in pulpal temperature. Scanning electron microscopy showed no evidence of effects on the integrity of enamel. CONCLUSIONS The source of irradiation is more relevant than the bleaching agent for efficient tooth whitening. In addition, photoactivation with LED was found to be the best choice: it yielded significant change in color with only a minor increase in pulpal temperature.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of Er:YAG laser (λ = 2.94 μm) on microtensile bond strength (μTBS) and superficial morphology of bovine dentin bleached with 16% carbamide peroxide. Forty bovine teeth blocks (7 × 3 × 3 mm(3)) were randomly assigned to four groups: G1- bleaching and Er:YAG irradiation with energy density of 25.56 J/cm(2) (focused mode); G2 - bleaching; G3 - no-bleaching and Er:YAG irradiation (25.56 J/cm(2)); G4 - control, non-treated. G1 and G2 were bleached with 16% carbamide peroxide for 6 h during 21 days. Afterwards, all blocks were abraded with 320 to 600-grit abrasive papers to obtain flat standardized dentin surfaces. G1 and G3 were Er:YAG irradiated. Blocks were immediately restored with 4-mm-high composite resin (Adper Single Bond 2, Z-250-3 M/ESPE). After 24 h, the restored blocks (n = 9) were serially sectioned and trimmed to an hour-glass shape of approximately 1 mm(2) at the bonded interface area, and tested in tension in a universal testing machine (1 mm/ min). Failure mode was determined at a magnification of 100× using a stereomicroscope. One block of each group was selected for scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. μTBS data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey test (α = 0.05). Mean bond strengths (SD) in MPa were: G1- 32.7 (5.9)(A); G2- 31.1 (6.3)(A); G3- 25.2 (8.3)(B); G4- 36.7 (9.9).(A) Groups with different uppercase letters were significantly different from each other (p < .05). Enamel bleaching procedure did not affect μTBS values for dentin adhesion. Er:YAG laser irradiation with 25.56 J/cm(2) prior to adhesive procedure of bleached teeth did not affect μTBS at dentin and promoted a dentin surface with no smear layer and opened dentin tubules observed under SEM. On the other hand, Er:YAG laser irradiation prior to adhesive procedure of non-bleached surface impaired μTBS compared to the control group.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the effect of bleaching gel containing 10%, 15% and 20% carbamide peroxide (CP) on the bond strength of dental enamel or dentin and resin composite restorations. METHODS The buccal surfaces of 12 bovine tooth crowns were conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid, and the adhesive resin Single Bond 2 and the resin composite Filtek Z350 were used to perform the restorations. The blocks were sectioned to obtain bar specimens. Each specimen group (enamel-E, dentin-D) was divided into four subgroups (n=15): S-artificial saliva; 10-10% CP bleaching; 15-15% CP bleaching; 20-20% CP bleaching. CP was applied for six hours daily for two weeks. The specimens were submitted to the sigma test in a universal testing machine. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and the Tukey post-hoc test and a correlation analysis (r) was performed. RESULTS For Group E, the mean value (+/- standard-deviation) was 21.86 (+/- 6.03)a, 18.91 (+/- 8.31)ab, 15.43 (+/- 7.44)b and 10.6 (+/- 4.94)c for ES, E10, E15 and E20, respectively. For Group D, the a values were 34.73 (+/- 4.68)a, 35.12 (+/- 13.43)a, 29.67 (+/- 6.84)ab and 24.56 (+/- 6.54)b for DS, D10, D15 and D20, respectively. A negative correlation between the CP concentration and mean values was observed for both the enamel (r=-0.95) and dentin (r=-0.85) groups. CONCLUSION In the current study, the bond strength of the restoration to enamel and the restoration to dentin were influenced by the application of CP and was dependent on the CP concentration in the bleaching gel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the bracket survival rate of brackets bonded to bleached and unbleached teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients who required comprehensive orthodontic treatment were included in the study. A split mouth technique was used with one arch exposed to in-office whitening gel containing 38% hydrogen peroxide for 30 minutes, while the unbleached arch served as the control. Patients were divided into two groups: Brackets bonded within 24 hours after bleaching and brackets bonded 2-3 weeks after bleaching. The bracket survival rate was computed using the log-rank test (Kaplan-Meier Analysis). RESULTS A significantly higher rate of bracket failure was found with bleached teeth (16.6%) compared with unbleached teeth (1.8%) after 180 days. Brackets bonded within 24 hours of bleaching resulted in significantly higher clinical failure (14.5%) compared with those bonded after 3 weeks (2.1%). Adhesive Remnant Index scores of failed brackets revealed that the majority of failure in bleached teeth occurred in the enamel/resin interface. CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis was rejected. Brackets bonded within 24 hours after bleaching have a significantly higher risk for bond failure. Orthodontic bonding should be delayed for 2-3 weeks if patients have a history of in-office bleaching with 38% hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
This study evaluated the degree of color change of teeth, the rebound effect and the sensitivities of teeth and gingiva associated with the use of an in-office bleaching agent followed by an at-home bleaching agent to lighten stained teeth in an in vivo study. Thirty-seven subjects who met the Inclusion/Exclusion criteria were divided into two cells. Twenty-five subjects received three 15-minute in-office bleaching treatments in succession with 36% hydrogen peroxide (HP) on the maxillary anterior teeth, followed by at-home overnight bleaching with 15% carbamide peroxide (CP) for seven days on one side of the dental arch. Twelve other subjects received a 40-minute in-office bleaching treatment on their maxillary anterior teeth, followed by at-home overnight bleaching for seven days on one side of the dental arch with the same product. The cells of teeth on the other side of the dental arch received the same in-office treatment but were not bleached overnight for seven days. Color was subjectively evaluated using the Vitapan Classical Shade Guide and was objectively evaluated using the Chroma Meter at the baseline appointment, immediately after in-office bleaching and at 4, 7 and 14 days and 3 months after the in-office treatment. For two weeks, the subjects completed sensitivity evaluations of gingival tissues and hard tooth tissues. The cells that did not receive the at-home bleaching had significantly less color change than the cells that received at-home bleaching. The cell that was bleached for 40 minutes and received the at-home treatment had significantly less overall change (deltaE) at 14 days and 3 months than the cell that received three 15-minute treatments with the at-home treatment. Throughout the study, the subjects in the three 15-minute treatment cells had less gingival and tooth sensitivity than the other cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of tooth bleaching on substance P (SP) expression in healthy human dental pulp. Forty pulp samples were obtained from healthy premolars in which extraction was indicated for orthodontic reasons. Thirty of these premolars were assigned into three different tooth-bleaching protocols: group 1 (n = 10): Opalescence Xtra Boost (Ultradent Products, South Jordan, UT) (38% H(2)O(2)) for 15 minutes; group 2 (n = 10): Lase Peroxide (DMC, Brazil) (35% H(2)O(2)) activated with infrared laser diode (Biolux; BioArt, Brazil) for 3 minutes, and group 3 (n = 10): Zoom! Whitening System (Discuss Dental, Culver City, CA) (25% H(2)O(2)) light activated for 20 minutes. The remaining 10 healthy premolars serve as a control group. Teeth were anesthetized immediately after bleaching and were extracted 10 minutes later. All pulp samples were processed and SP was measured by radioimmunoassay. Greater SP expression was found in the Zoom! Whitening System, followed by the Lase Peroxide group, Opalescence Xtra Boost, and the lower SP values were for the control group. Analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences between groups (p = 0.0001). Tukey HSD post hoc tests showed significant differences in the light (p < 0.01) and laser (p < 0.05) activated bleaching systems when compared with control values. It can be concluded that light- and laser-activated tooth-bleaching systems increase SP expression in human dental pulp significantly higher than normal values.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging hardware and software have been recently employed to assess demineralization due to early dental caries. Dental fluorosis also presents as diffuse surface hypomineralization of enamel and in principle similar measurement methods might be applicable to both. The caries analysis system requires the user to select an area of sound enamel around the lesion so that the affected surface can be reconstructed and the lesion subtracted. Whereas early caries presents as discrete isolated lesions fluorosis is characterized by diffuse opacities covering most of the tooth. Consequently it is difficult to use commercial QLF software for the assessment of fluorosis, as there is typically no sound area of enamel to use for reconstruction. This study describes a fluorescent imaging device capable of recording digital images of the anterior teeth and also software that is able to objectively measure fluorosis area and severity. A convenience sample of 26 subjects with a range of fluorosis from TF scores 0-3 took part in the study. The upper left central incisor of these subjects was scored for fluorosis using the TF index, photographed using a conventional digital camera and imaged using the fluorescence imaging device. The TF index was then used to visually score the digital photographs and the fluorescence images. The data from the fluorescence method demonstrated a strong correlation with TF scores from fluorescence images (Kendall's tau = 0.862). The fluorescence imaging method shows promise as an objective, potentially blinded system for the longitudinal assessment of enamel fluorosis in vivo.

Abstract
AIM This in vitro study examined the effect that various concentration of hydrogen peroxide (5-35%) had on tooth whitening. METHOD Extracted third molars were sectioned and stained using a standardised tea solution to Vita shade C4. These stained specimens were then bleached with a series of gels containing 5, 10, 15 or 25% w/w hydrogen peroxide. Each specimen was bleached for a number of sessions with one session being defined as 3 x 10 min exposure. RESULTS The number of applications of the various concentrations of bleaching gel varied from 12 applications for the 5% gel to one application for the 35% gel. Plotting the number of applications against hydrogen peroxide concentration showed an exponential response curve. CONCLUSIONS The concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a proprietary bleaching gel had a marked effect on the number of applications required to produce an optimal shade outcome.

Abstract
Present tooth-bleaching techniques are based upon hydrogen peroxide as the active agent. It is applied directly, or produced in a chemical reaction from sodium perborate or carbamide peroxide. More than 90% immediate success has been reported for intracoronal bleaching of non-vital teeth, and in the period of 1-8 years' observation time, from 10 to 40% of the initially successfully treated teeth needed re-treatment. Cervical root resorption is a possible consequence of internal bleaching and is more frequently observed in teeth treated with the thermo-catalytic procedure. When the external tooth-bleaching technique is used, the first subjective change in tooth color may be observed after 2-4 nights of tooth bleaching, and more than 90% satisfactory results have been reported. Tooth sensitivity is a common side-effect of external tooth bleaching observed in 15%-78% of the patients, but clinical studies addressing the risk of other adverse effects are lacking. Direct contact with hydrogen peroxide induced genotoxic effects in bacteria and cultured cells, whereas the effect was reduced or abolished in the presence of metabolizing enzymes. Several tumor-promoting studies, including the hamster cheek pouch model, indicated that hydrogen peroxide might act as a promoter. Multiple exposures of hydrogen peroxide have resulted in localized effects on the gastric mucosa, decreased food consumption, reduced weight gain, and blood chemistry changes in mice and rats. Our risk assessment revealed that a sufficient safety level was not reached in certain clinical situations of external tooth bleaching, such as bleaching one tooth arch with 35% carbamide peroxide, using several applications per day of 22% carbamide peroxide, and bleaching both arches simultaneously with 22% carbamide peroxide. The recommendation is to avoid using concentrations higher than 10% carbamide peroxide when one performs external bleaching. We advocate a selective use of external tooth bleaching based on high ethical standards and professional judgment.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of the presence, absence, and aging of a heat-enhancing compound (colorant) added to bleaching gel on the temperature rise of the gel itself, as well as the temperature rise within the pulp chamber, when a tooth was exposed to a variety of light-curing units in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS An extracted human upper central incisor was fitted with thermocouples placed in the pulp chamber as well as on the facial tooth surface. A temperature-controlled simulated intrapulpal fluid flow was provided to the tooth, and bleaching agent (Opalesence XTRA, Ultradent) containing heat-enhancing colorant, aged colorant, or no colorant was applied to the facial surface. The tooth and light-curing unit were placed in a thermostatically controlled oven at 37 degrees C, and real-time gel and intrapulpal temperature values were recorded digitally. Light-curing units used were a plasma arc light (PAC) (PowerPac, ADT), a conventional quartz tungsten halogen source (QTH) (Optilux 501, Demetron/Kerr), the QTH light used in high-power (bleaching) mode, and an argon ion laser (AccuCure 3000, LaserMed). An exposure scenario simulating light-enhanced bleaching of 10 upper teeth was developed. Temperature rise over the pre-exposure, baseline value associated with the last light exposure in the bleaching sequence was calculated for each curing and bleaching combination. Five replications for each test condition were made. Temperature rise values were compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a preset alpha of 0.05. RESULTS When fresh colorant-containing bleach was used, the PAC light increased bleach temperature 39.3 degrees C above baseline. With no added colorant, temperature rise was 37.1 degrees C. The QTH light in bleach mode resulted in gel temperature 24.8 degrees C above baseline, whereas the temperature increase was only 11.5 degrees C when no colorant was used. Conventional QTH light use increased fresh bleach temperature by 17.7 degrees C, whereas an increase of only 11.1 degrees C was measured without colorant. The argon ion laser produced equivalent temperature rise regardless of the presence or freshness of the colorant, approximately 9.4 degrees C. Intrapulpal temperatures were all significantly lower than those recorded in the bleaching gel and ranged from 5 degrees to 8 degrees C. As a rule, the presence of fresh heat-enhancing colorant in the bleaching gel resulted in a significant intrapulpal temperature increase (approximately 1 degrees C) over that reached using other lights. The PAC and the QTH light used in bleach mode induced greater intrapulpal temperature rise than the laser. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Freshness of bleaching agent incorporating light-activated, heat-enhancing colorant influences temperature rise of bleaching gel and also may increase intrapulpal temperature values. Use of intense lights does elevate bleach temperature and also results in increased intrapulpal temperature that may further impact on patient sensitivity and pulpal health resulting from this treatment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Often the first evidence of variation from normal in human dentition is an observable difference in the color of the teeth. During the past decade, the demand for conservative esthetic dentistry has grown dramatically. Tooth discoloration is a frequent dental finding, associated with clinical and esthetic problems. It differs in etiology, appearance, composition, location, severity, and firmness in adherence to the tooth surface. Basically, there are two types of tooth discolorations: those caused by extrinsic factors and those caused by intrinsic congenital or systemic influence. The intensity of stains may be worsened if there are enamel defects. Tooth discoloration presents two major challenges to the dental team. The first challenge is to ascertain the cause of the stain; the second is its management. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This article reviews the etiology and clinical presentation of dental stains and outlines treatment options.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three peroxide-containing bleaching agents, Opalescence, Nite White and a 30% hydrogen peroxide solution, on enamel surfaces using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). METHODS Fifteen non-carious human incisors (ten maxillary and five mandibular, extracted for periodontal reasons) were used. The teeth were divided randomly into three groups of five, according to the bleaching agents. The labial surface of each tooth was imaged by AFM before and after treatment. Each bleaching agent was applied for a total of 28 h (in individual 4 h treatments). The specimens were examined only after 28 h of treatment. RESULTS On comparing the AFM images of untreated and treated enamel, surface alterations were observed after 28 h of treatment with Opalescence, Nite White and 30% hydrogen peroxide solution. Several grooves present in the enamel surface of untreated teeth became deeper after the bleaching procedure. The depths of the grooves increased in each case. The increase in the depth of grooves was more pronounced in the case of the 30% H2O2 solution. CONCLUSION Home-use bleaching agents are capable of causing enamel surface alterations. It is hypothesized that the peroxide-containing bleaching agents affect the organic phase of enamel. Peroxides can affect not only the surface but also the inner structure of enamel. As a result of its low molecular weight, hydrogen peroxide can penetrate into the enamel. Thus, inner oxidative effects are more likely to occur in the subsurface enamel where more organic material is present and oxidation is capable of altering the outer enamel and the surface.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A search was conducted in biomedical journals published from January 1997 to June 1997 to identify all dental materials publications and sort them into major categories. METHODS Tables of contents for 79 journals for the period of January to June, 1997 were inspected and divided into 17 categories. Citations were analyzed by both frequency in journals and in categories, as well as compared to frequencies for previous years. RESULTS A total of 445 citations were detected in 79 journals for the period January 1997 to June 1997. Certain journals (n = 19) demonstrated a higher citation frequency (> or = 10 citations for 6 months) and represented 77.8% of all citations. The greatest number of citations continued to involve bonding (n = 97), resin-based restorative materials (composites; glass ionomers) (n = 95), prosthodontic materials (n = 51), and pulp protection/luting materials (n = 48). Frequencies by category were very similar to those for the last four years. SIGNIFICANCE The compiled literature citations provide a supplement for researchers and academicians seeking information in existing electronic databases.
