Purpose: To evaluate the effect of whitening mouthrinses used before toothbrushing on enamel microhardness and wear.
Methods: 80 polished bovine enamel specimens were randomly assigned into four groups according to the mouthrinses tested (n=20): PW: Plax Whitening - 1.5% hydrogen peroxide (HP); LW: Listerine Whitening Pre-Brush Rinse - 2% HP; U: Ultradex - Chlorine dioxide; C: Control - Artificial saliva. The specimens were immersed in the mouthrinses for 1 minute and brushed with 10 strokes, using a dentifrice containing sodium fluoride. After treatments, they were immersed in artificial saliva for 30 minutes. A total of 540 cycles were performed simulating 9 months of use. Enamel surface was assessed with a Knoop microhardness tester and by a contact profilometer before and after treatments to obtain the surface microhardness (KHN) and enamel loss (µm) values. The specimens were immersed in artificial saliva for an additional 30 days and microhardness was measured again. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests (5%).
Results: Significant differences were observed in KHN (P= 0.0001) and wear (P= 0.0001). Results of Tukey's for KHN: U-320.08±13.86a, PW-323.58±32.75a, LW-331.66±24.74a, C-354.24±16.40b. Wear (µm) : PW-10.03±0.94a, LW-9.92±0.81a, U-8.88±1.02b, C-6.56±0.91c. Groups followed by the same letters do not present significant differences. After 30 days in saliva, there was no significant difference for SMH among the groups.
Clinical Significance: The continuous use of whitening mouthrinses can increase the enamel abrasion potential promoted by daily toothbrushing; therefore, they should be used with caution.

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of polishing systems and surface sealant on the color stability and whiteness index of single-shade resin composites after staining and bleaching.
Materials And Methods: Three single-shade (Omnichroma, Charisma Diamond One, Zenchroma) and one multi-shade (Filtek Z250) materials were tested. From each resin composite, 40 specimens were prepared.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of whitening mouthrinses on the color change, whiteness change, surface roughness, and hardness of stained resin composites after different immersion times.
Methods: Three different resin composites (Estelite Σ Quick, G-Aenial Anterior, Omnichroma) were used to prepare a total of 90 samples (30 samples from each resin composite). The samples were kept in coffee for 12 days, then divided into three subgroups (Control, Crest 3D White, and Listerine Advanced White; n=10 each).

Objective: To investigate the effect of fluoride-containing whitening products on sound enamel and on artificial caries lesions during a cariogenic challenge.
Materials And Methods: Bovine enamel specimens (n = 120) with three areas [non-treated sound enamel (NSE), treated sound enamel (TSE), and treated artificial caries lesion (TACL)] were randomly assigned to the four groups: whitening mouthrinse (WM: 2.5% hydrogen peroxide-100 ppm F), placebo mouthrinse (PM: 0% hydrogen peroxide-100 ppm F), whitening gel (WG: 10% carbamide peroxide-1130 ppm F), and deionized water (negative control; NC).

With society trending toward the avoidance of artificial components, so-called "natural" products have been gaining space and people's attention in recent years. Activated charcoal-based dental products are a prominent example of this movement because of their promise of removal of extrinsic stains or whitening of teeth by a natural means. Such products have gained popularity among patients, and companies have explored this market, launching charcoal-based and activated charcoal-based dentifrices, mouthrinses, toothbrushes, and whitening products that can be easily found at nearby stores and on the internet.

Purpose: To investigate the tooth-whitening effects of mouthrinses containing different sizes of hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles after prolonged application time and compare them with a commercial whitening mouthrinse.
Methods: 50 bovine incisors were stained and randomly distributed into five groups: the HAP groups with 3 µm, 200 nm and 50 nm particle size, the commercial whitening mouthrinse group and the distilled water group. The teeth underwent prolonged mouthrinse applications that were equivalent to simulated 3- and 6-month mouthrinsing.
