Influence of F-18 Bioactive Glass Incorporation into Whitening Gel on Properties of Bovine Dental Enamel

Bioactive materials have shown positive results in reducing the deleterious effects of tooth whitening. However, their on whitening efficacy is still uncertain. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate F- 18 bioactive glass incorporation into a bleaching gel color and microhardness enamel after Thirty bovine enamel-stained specimens were randomly divided three groups (n=10) according protocol: control group (unbleached), HP35 % (35 hydrogen peroxide) F-18 (F-18 incorporated %). pH, change analyzes performed at baseline, 24 hours 7 days Color evaluation showed that experimental different than for all coordinates (p < 0.05). no intragroup differences observed > No found among within same time 0.118). Regarding comparisons, 0.129). It concluded did not affect microhardness.
