Effect of açai berry extract application on the bond strength to the bleached enamel using an experimental etch-and-rinse adhesive
2022
To evaluate the bleached enamel shear bond strength (SBS) after antioxidants application using an experimental adhesive.Sixty sound human molars had their roots removed then cut into buccal and lingual halves and mounted in acrylic blocks. Enamel bleaching was done using an in-office chemical bleaching agent. Specimens were arbitrarily allocated into 12 groups (n=10) regarding the three experimental levels of the study: two antioxidant agents [10% açai berry extract, 10% sodium ascorbate prepared gels (applied for 15-min) and the control group (no antioxidant application)], two adhesive materials [commercial etch-and-rinse (ER) adhesive and an experimental ER adhesive] and two post-bleachin…
Remineralization potential of grape seed extract hydrogels on bleached enamel compared to fluoride gel : an in vitro study
2019
Background Remineralizing of bleached enamel is a common procedure that aims to compensate enamel mineral lose. This study aimed to evaluate the remineralization effectiveness of experimentally prepared grape seed extract hydrogels (GSE) compared to fluoride gel on bleached enamel. Material and methods Thirty extracted maxillary incisor were bleached using white smile bleaching agent. Bleached specimens were divided into three groups (10/group) according to the remineralizing agents tested: [GSE 6%, GSE 10%, or fluoride gel]. After bleaching and remineralization procedure, the specimens were stored in artificial saliva at 37°C. Micro-hardness and Energy-Dispersive X-ray and ultra-morphologi…
