Efeitos do ACP na remineralização do esmalte dentário submetido ao branqueamento

Abstract

The chemical changes were analyzed by EDS in bovine enamel submitted to bleaching with carbamide peroxide ACP containing concentrations of 10%, 16% and 22%, in the time of 21 days, and 35 days indicated, prolonged. The groups were divided into G1 and G5-control (free bleaching); G2 and G6-10% CP with ACP; G3 and G7- CP to 16% with ACP and G4 and G8- CP to 22% with ACP. G2, G3 and G4 were evaluated at 21 days, G6, G7 and G8 at 35 days under SEM to observe the tooth and EDS analysis of the chemical elements oxygen, phosphorus and calcium morphology. Images observed under SEM were presented porous with irregular erosion and loss of structure. To analyze the results obtained in the EDS used the ANOVA with Tukey's test and Student's t test with significance level of 5% and significant changes were observed at 21 days in chemical oxygen between G2 and G4 elements and calcium between G1 and G3; G1 and from G4 and G2 and G4. At 35 days, for oxygen between G5 and G6, G7 and G8; for the match between G6 and G8 and calcium, between G5 and G8. The addition of ACP in the formulas of exogenous whitening gels at different concentrations, can promote a balance in the mineral composition of dental enamel, but not completely nullify the harmful effects of CP.
