Techniques for teeth whitening have been largely used as aesthetic procedures. However, the choice of the bleaching agent, the method and the frequency that it will be applied to the patient has to be done properly in order to avoid damage or changes to the tooth structure. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of bleaching techniques on tooth structure. It was selected 90 samples of human teeth to be evaluated considering the Vickers microhardness and impedance analysis, before and after the use of bleaching techniques. The samples were divided into 6 groups of 15 teeth each and 6 different types of commercially available bleaches to be applied at dental offices or at home were used in the tests. The results have shown a decreasing of approximately 24 % in the microhardness after the use of bleaching agents at home (samples 61-90), and only 2 % for those used at dental offices (samples 1-60). The data were analysed using the One-Way ANOVA and the statistical analysis for the Vickers microhardness after the use of bleaching agents at home have shown significant results. Thus, it was possible to conclude that the indiscriminate use of bleaching agents can damage the tooth structure. |
