Objective: This study compares the color change of non-vital anterior teeth after laser-activated bleaching and conventional walking bleaching technique.
Materials And Methods: Sixty extracted teeth were endodontically treated, stained in a black tea solution, and the baseline shade was measured using a spectrophotometer (Easyshade, VITA). Bleaching was done using either: internal bleaching with 35% HO (Opalescence Endo) and then tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr1), 35% HO (JW Next) for 7 minutes (Gr2), internal and external bleaching for 7 minutes (Gr3), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 30 seconds (940 nm, continuous wave, 2 W, noncontact mode, 300 um, non-initiated tip), wait for 7 minutes, second laser application for 30 seconds, tooth sealed for 5 days (Gr4), diode laser-activated internal bleaching for 24 hours (Gr5), or diode laser-activated internal and external bleaching for 24 hours (Gr6) ( = 10).
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how effective resin infiltration material is at masking white spot lesions (WSLs) after orthodontic bracket removal in 18 patients divided into two groups based on the severity of their lesions.
- Group 1 had visible WSLs without surface disruption, while Group 2 had roughened surfaces but did not need restoration.
- Results showed a significant improvement in masking WSLs for both groups after applying the resin, with a statistical significance of P<0.05, indicating the treatment was effective.
