Bond strength of composite materials after internal teeth bleaching using 30% carbamide peroxide
2014
Introduction. Bond between composite materials and bleached teeth depends on
the change of micro-morphological structure of enamel and dentin after the
application of bleaching agent. Bleaching procedure can weaken adhesion of
composite materials to hard tissues, where even just a presence of hydrogen
peroxide may affect their polymerization. The aim of this study was to
determine bond strength of composite materials after internal teeth bleaching
using 30% carbamide peroxide. Material and Methods. The study was conducted
on 20 extracted, endodontically treated human teeth. After internal teeth
bleaching with 30% carbamide peroxide a class V cavity was prepared and
restored with Tetric EvoCeram nanocomposite material. Microleakage was
determined using dye method (silver nitrate) and measured on the incisal and
gingival walls using stereoloupes. Results. Linear dye penetration on the
incisal wall (7.25 μm) of bleached teeth was greater than on the incisal wall
in non-bleached (control group) teeth (5.75 μm) but with no statistically
significant difference. Dye penetration on the gingival wall of bleached
teeth (20.00 μm) was greater than on the gingival wall of the control group
(14.25 μm). This difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion. Greater microleakage and inferior bond of composite material was
observed in teeth bleached with internal bleaching technique (30% carbamide
peroxide) compared to non-bleached teeth.
