ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the efficiency of fluoride or ozone as a preventive for reducing the negative consequences of the vital bleaching on enamel surface.

Material and Methods: 30 freshly extracted caries-free human incisors were divided into the following three groups (n=10): Group 1, treatment with 38% hydrogen peroxide (HP) as a control; Group 2, treatment with HP following a fluoride application; Group 3, treatment with HP following a ozone gas therapy. Surface roughness values were measured by profilometer.

Results: In this study, the lowest surface roughness was in Group 2 (0.37 µm), Group 3 (0.57 µm) was showed the highest surface roughness values. In terms of surface roughness values, there was no statistically significant difference between Group 1 (control) and Group 3 (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Fluoride application as a preventive before treatment of vital bleaching was reduced the surface roughness of the enamel.

STUDY SUMMARY

This in vitro study examined whether applying fluoride or ozone before vital bleaching affected enamel surface roughness, using 30 extracted caries-free human incisors divided into three groups and measured by profilometry. Enamel treated with fluoride before hydrogen peroxide bleaching showed the lowest surface roughness, while the ozone group showed the highest and did not differ significantly from the bleached control. Within the conditions tested, a prior fluoride application was associated with reduced surface roughness after bleaching.
