Atuação dos agentes remineralizantes em procedimentos de clareamento dental utilizando géis de alta concentração

Abstract

Due to the incessant search for the perfect smile, several whitening protocols have been developed. However, although safe, they can lead to transient changes in the structure and morphology of the tooth surface. Thus, new protocols including remineralizing agents are being made available to promote recovery from these losses caused by the bleaching gel. Therefore, the present study evaluated the performance of remineralizing agents adjunct to tooth whitening. Therefore, a search was carried out in Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PubMed), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lillacs) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo) databases using the descriptors: “Dental bleaching” and “enamel surface” and “remineralize agent" or “desensitizing agent”. the criteria defined for the research. After carrying out the research, it was seen that remineralizing agents such as fluorine, calcium, fluorinated amorphous calcium phosphate casein-phosphate phosphopeptide (CPP-ACP), hydroxyapatite and Bioglass fulfill their role and promote surface protection/recovery In addition, they can be applied separately from the whitening gel or already inserted in the formulation of the same manufacturer. Finally, it was concluded that all the agents studied promoted improvements in dental structures, promoting a faster and more effective recovery when compared to the performance of only human saliva, but there is still a need for more clinical studies to define the best remineralizing agent te and the best protocol to apply.
