Abstract
Aims: To assess the impact of fluoridated dental products (Toothpaste, mouth rinse, and fluoride varnish) on bleached tooth enamel's color when used before, after, or before and after the tooth bleaching process. Method: A total of (64) bovine permanent incisors were prepared and divided into two main groups: Group (A) was treated before and after the bleaching. Group (B) was treated after bleaching only. The bleaching process used an Opalescence boost of 40% hydrogen peroxide. Each main group was divided into (4) subgroups: (A1, B1) Control, (A2, B2) treated with FluorKIN mouthrinse, (A3, B3) treated with FluorKIN toothpaste, (A4, B4) treated with Proshield Fluoride Varnish. A spectrophotometer was used to evaluate color change ΔE. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in ΔE after bleaching and no change after treatment, and there was no statistically significant difference between the group receiving bleaching only and the group receiving preventive protocol before bleaching. Conclusion: According to the ΔE means results in the present study, the fluoride treatment protocols had no impact on color change when used before, after, or before and after dental bleaching.
