Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the volume and depth of enamel loss promoted by 37.5% and 7.5% hydrogen peroxide (HP) gels, and quantify the loss of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ions by using ion chromatography (IC) analysis after bleaching. METHODS Sixty bovine enamel specimens were randomly divided into three groups: Control - no bleaching gel; HP37.5%, application of HP 37.5% for 45 minutes for 14 days; and HP7.5%, application of HP 7.5% for 3 applications of 8 minutes. The surface analysis (n=5) was performed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and dispersive energy system (EDS) to calcium and phosphorus dosage. The micro-CT was used for the enamel loss analysis (n=5). IC was used to analyze extracted Ca and P (n=10). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA and two-way repeated measures ANOVA, followed by Tukey and Dunnett's tests (α=0.05). RESULTS Significantly higher volume and depth of enamel loss were found for bleached groups compared with the control group. HP7.5% had significantly higher enamel change than HP37.5%. SEM showed higher enamel porosity for HP37.5% and HP7.5% compared to control. The IC demonstrated a significant increase of Ca incorporated into the gel, however, only HP7.5% had a higher P presence than the control group. The HP7.5% showed higher Ca and P ion exchange than HP37.5% (p<0.001). CONCLUSION HP37.5% and HP7.5%, caused enamel mineral changes compared with the control group. The IC method was demonstrated to be an effective methodology for detecting enamel mineral loss by the bleaching gel.

The effects of combining erbium, chromium: Yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser irradiation with fluoride application in controlling the progression of enamel erosion. Saudi Dent J 2021; 33:1126-1132. [PMID: 34938058 PMCID: PMC8665161 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2021.03.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2021] [Revised: 03/02/2021] [Accepted: 03/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Fluoride alone increased the microhardness of the enamel surface. Fluoride alone halted the progression of enamel erosion. Laser irradiation before fluoride-induced similar effects as fluoride alone. Laser irradiation alone did not prevent the progression of enamel erosion.
Objective Increasing enamel resistance to acid may be useful for preventing cavitation and could reduce changes in the enamel’s microhardness. Topical fluoride application and laser irradiation promote acid resistance of dental substrates. The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet laser irradiation in combination with fluoride application to control enamel erosion. Design Sixty human premolar specimens were prepared (N = 60) and were randomly assigned to 5 groups, twelve specimens in each group (n = 12/group) according to surface treatment. The groups were as follows: group 1 (C): control with no treatment; group 2 (F): application of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel alone; group 3 (L): laser irradiation alone; group 4 (F+L): acidulated phosphate fluoride gel followed by laser irradiation; group 5 (L+F): laser irradiation followed by acidulated phosphate fluoride gel. All the specimens were eroded 10 min in citric acid. Baseline measurements were performed using a Vickers microhardness tester before surface treatment. Subsequently, all specimens were subjected to a 60 min erosion-remineralization cycle for five days followed by measurements of the final surface microhardness. Statistical comparisons were performed by a one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s post hoc analysis. Results The control, laser, and fluoride + laser groups showed a statistically significant decrease in microhardness values between baseline and post-erosion measurements (P < 0.05), indicating that these treatments could not prevent erosion progression. However, the fluoride and laser + fluoride groups showed a significant increase in microhardness values compared to baseline. Conclusions Our results suggest that compared to that of the control group, acidulated phosphate fluoride application as well as laser irradiation prior to fluoride application increased enamel surface microhardness and prevented the progression of enamel erosion.
