Abstract
Objectives
The aim of this study was to synthesize a cyclophosphate with total sodium replacement (CaTMP) and to evaluate, in vitro, its incorporation into hydrogen peroxide (HP) whitening gels.
Materials and Methods
CaTMP was synthesized through column chromatography using ion-exchange resin and calcium hydroxide solution. Bovine enamel/dentin discs (n = 150) were divided into five groups: 1) negative control (no treatment), 2) 35 % HP whitening gel (positive control), 3) 35 % HP + 1 % CaTMP, 4) 17.5 % HP, and 5) 17.5 % HP + 1 % CaTMP. Whitening gels were applied weekly for three 40-minute sessions. Color change was measured using ΔE, ΔWID, and ΔE00. Transamelodentinal HP diffusion was determined, as well the mineral content of dental substrates by μ-CT (gHAp × cm−3 × µm). Data were analyzed with ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls test (p < 0.05).
Results
All whitening gels caused significant color changes (p < 0.001), with no differences between groups in ΔE, ΔE00, and ΔWID (p > 0.05). The highest transamelodentinal HP diffusion occurred in the 35 % HP group (p < 0.001), but adding 1 % CaTMP reduced this diffusion in both HP concentrations (p < 0.05), with a greater reduction in the 17.5 % HP gel. Conventional gels (17.5 % and 35 % HP) caused greater mineral loss (gHAp × cm−3 × µm), while CaTMP protected against these changes.
Conclusions
Incorporating 1 % CaTMP into whitening gels (17.5 % and 35 % HP) significantly reduced HP diffusion and preserved the mineral content of enamel and dentin, while providing whitening results similar to conventional gels.
Clinical relevance
CaTMP may act as a protective agent against peroxide-induced oxidative damage in dental tissues. While these findings are based on in vitro data, they support a promising direction for future translational research aimed at enhancing the safety and effectiveness of in-office whitening procedures.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
