Optical Dental Whitening Efficacy of Blue Covarine Toothpaste in Teeth Stained by Different Colors.
2016
Objective
Evaluate the immediate and cumulative optical whitening efficacy of a blue covarine toothpaste.
Materials and Methods
180 bovine tooth specimens with similar shade (ΔE < 3.5) were staining of different beverage: black tea(BT), green tea (GT), red wine (RW), orange soda (OS), and brazilian acai juice (AJ), and then submitted to tooth brushing with a blue covarine toothpaste (Op) or a control abrasive toothpaste (Ab). The whitening effect was evaluated at baseline (B), after staining (S), after 1 day (1D) and 7 days of cumulative use of toothpastes (7D). The color shade chances were assessment by Vita Easyshade reflectance spectroscope and the data of CIELab color coordinates (L*, a*, and b*), color difference (ΔE) and the whiteness index optimized (WIO), were analyzed by two-way mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures and Bonferroni-corrected t-tests (α = 0.05).
Results
The analysis showed statistically significant differences before and after staining by colored beverages (p 0.05), in the CIELab coordinates, ΔE and WIO index.
Conclusions
The use of toothpastes (Op or Ab) reduced the dental staining caused by different colored beverage, but the whitening effect of blue covarine toothpaste could not be confirmed (p > 0.05).
