Abstract
ABSTRACTBackground: Alterations of the enamel after topical application of bleaching agents, presenting as majorconsequences are: ions release, increased superficial roughness, stronger bacterial attachment and hardnessalteration. The aims of the study: To evaluate the effects of two different types of bleaching agents for vital teeth byusing with light source on the release of ions ( Calcium and phosphate ions ) from the enamel surface.Materials and methods: Fifty three sound enamel surface for calcium ions release and Fifty three sound enamelsurface for phosphate ions, were subject to treated with bleaching agents ( 35% hydrogen peroxide and carbamideperoxide ) and then application of light and laser radiation to activate the bleaching agents. Spectrophotometerand Buck scientific atomic absorption spectrophotometer, were used to measure the ions release from enamelsurface.Results: highly significant increase in the release of ions ( calcium ions ), while significant increase in the release of ions(phosphate ions ) in relation to the times intervals.Conclusions: In this study showed that release of calcium ions from enamel surface after treated with both 35%carbamide peroxide and 35% hydrogen peroxide increase with increase the time and compared with release ofphosphate ions release and control groups.Key word: Enamel surface, Ions release, Bleaching agents.
