Abstract

The objective of this in situ study was to evaluate the effects of whitening strip (Claren, LG Household & Health Care Ltd, 2.6% hydrogen peroxide) and gel (Opalescence, Ultradent, 10% carbamide peroxide) on microhardness of enamel in comparison with untreated control. Extracted twenty human upper incisors were disinfected, cleaned, and labial side of each incisor sectioned into 3 fragments by 2 ${\times}$ 2 mm size. After sectioning, labial sides of fragments were flattened and fixed to orthodontic bracket using flowable composite resin. Specimens prepared from each tooth were attached to the labial side of upper incisors of twenty volunteers one by one and treated by three different methods: (1) untreated control (2) treated with whitening strip for 14 days (3) treated with whitening gel for 14 days. Microhardness (Microhardness tester, Zwick) of each specimen was measured at the baseline of pre-treatment, immediate after bleaching treatment, 14 days after bleaching treatment and Knoop Hardness Number was determined. Microhardness changes of experimental groups were compared. The results show that tooth whitening strip and gel used in this study does not effect the microhardness of enamel during bleaching procedure.

본 연구는 치아미백용 2.6% hydrogen peroxide 부착대와 통상 home bleaching용으로 안전하다고 알려진 10% carbamide peroxide 미백젤이 법랑질 미세경도에 미치는 영향을 미백을 하지 않은 경우와 비교, 평가하기위하여 시행되었다. 최근에 발거한 사람의 상악 절치 20개를 사용하여 가로, 세로 2 mm의 정사각형 치아편을 각 치아에서 3개씩 절단, 채득한 후 교정용 bracket에 고정하여 시편을 제작하였다. 자원자는 20명을 선정하였고, 각각의 자원자의 치아에 동일 치아에서 제작한 시편이 부착된 bracket을 순면 중앙에 부착하였으며 상악 우측 측절치에 젤을 이용한 군 (Opalescence tooth whitening gel, Ultradent Product Inc, South Jordan, USA), 상악 우측 중절치에 미백을 하지 않은 대조군, 상악 좌측 중절치에 부착대를 이용한 군 (Claren, LG Household & Health Care, Seoul, Korea)을 부착 시켰다. 젤을 이용한 군은 bracket이 부착된 치아에 맞게 상악 우측 측절치부터 우측 소구치까지를 덮는 mouthguard tray를 제작하여 매일 동일시간에 2시간씩 14일 동안 미백을 시행하였으며, 대조군은 부착 28일 동안 미백 치료 없이 구강 내에 위치시켰다. 부착대를 이용한 군은 bracket의 시편을 덮을 수 있는 크기로 상악용 Claren을 절단하여 오전, 오후 각각 30분씩 하루 두 번 부착하여 14일 동안 미백을 시행하였다. 각군 모두 bracket부착 전, 미백 14일 후, 재광화 14일 후의 미세경도를 측정하였으며 측정된 값을 이용하여 미세경도 변화 양상과 변화량을 비교 평가하였다. 치아미백용 2.6% hydrogen peroxide 부착대와 젤 형태의 10% carbamide peroxide 미백제의 미백 전, 미백후, 재광화 후 미세경도 변화 양상이 미백을 하지 않은 대조군과 차이를 보이지 않았으며 (p > 0.05) 미백 전과 미백 후의 미세경도의 차이 미백후와 재광화 후의 미세경도의 차이도 유의할 만한 차이가 없었다 (p > 0.05). 따라서 시중에 판매되고 있는 whitening strip과 미백 젤은 14일 동안의 통상적인 미백과정 동안 법랑질의 미세경도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 사료된다.
