본 연구의 목적은 임상에서 사용되고 있는 치아미백제와 $TiO_2$ 광촉매의 융합에 의한 치아 미백효과를 평가하고, 미백 효과를 극대화시킬 수 있는 광촉매 혼합비 등에 관한 기초연구를 통하여 미백효과와 안전성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 실험에 사용된 치아는 발거된 치아 중 우식에 이환되지 않고 수복물이 없는 전, 구치부 치아 24개의 연조직 치석을 제거한 후 전치부의 순면이나 구치부의 협면 및 설면이 노출되도록 하여 dal상에서 사용 중인 치아 미백제에 $TiO_2$ 광촉매 분말을 10, 20wt.% 첨가하여 융합하고, 과산화수소수를 10~20%첨가한 미백제를 적용하여 색조 변화를 측정하였다. $TiO_2$ 광촉매와 미백제의 융합 미백제 적용에 따른 치아의 외관 특성평가 결과, 20% 과산화수소수에 $TiO_2$ 첨가한 경우 월등한 미백효과를 나타남을 알 수 있었으며 $TiO_2$ 광촉매를 사용하면 치아미백을 위한 미백제 적용시간을 단축시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 향후 치아 미백제 개발에 촉매의 활용을 통하여 미백 효과를 향상시킬 수 있는 연구의 제안으로 치아미백 제품개발에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 자가 미백제로 많이 사용되고 있는 10% CP를 이용하여, 불소가 함유되지 않은 미백제, 불소가 함유된 미백제, 그리고 10% CP로 미백한 후에 불소를 적용하여 하루에 8시간씩 14일 동안 처리함으로써, 치아표면의 색과 미세경도에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 색조 변화측정 결과, 대조군을 제외하고 미백 처리한 모든 군에서 치아 미백 후 시간 경과에 따라 $L^*$ 값과 ${\Delta}E^*$ 값에 유의한 차이가 있었고(p<0.05), 비슷한 수준의 미백효과와 함께 치아의 색조에서 노란색이 감소됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 2. 미백 처리 전후의 법랑질의 표면경도를 분석한 결과 대조군에서는 별 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 미백 처리한 모든 군에서 유의한 미세경도 감소를 보였다(p<0.05). 특히 10% CP군은 가장 낮은 미세경도 수치를 보였고, 미백제에 불소가 함유된 군과 미백 후 불소를 적용한 군은 미세경도 감소폭이 줄어들었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면, 2주간 진행되는 10% CP는 치아미백에 효과적이며, 미백제에 불소를 함유시켜도 미백에는 영향을 주지 않았으며, 표면미세경도는 불소가 함유되지 않은 미백제에 비해 덜 감소했다. 임상에서 미백으로 인한 부작용을 최소화하는데 적정 농도의 불소를 이용해 적용될 수 있도록 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of whitening mouth rinses alone and in combination with conventional whitening treatments on color, microhardness, and surface roughness changes in enamel specimens. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 enamel specimens were collected from human third molars and divided into 9 groups (n = 12): 38% hydrogen peroxide (HP), 10% carbamide peroxide (CP), 38% HP + Listerine Whitening (LW), 10% CP + LW, 38% HP + Colgate Plax Whitening (CPW), 10% CP + CPW, LW, CPW, and the control group (CG). The initial color of the specimens was measured, followed by microhardness and roughness tests. Next, the samples were bleached, and their color, microhardness, and roughness were assessed. Data were analyzed through 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA; microhardness and roughness) and 1-way ANOVA (color change), followed by the Tukey post hoc test. The Dunnett test was used to compare the roughness and microhardness data of the CG to those of the treated groups. Results: Statistically significant color change was observed in all groups compared to the CG. All groups, except the LW group, showed statistically significant decreases in microhardness. Roughness showed a statistically significant increase after the treatments, except for the 38% HP group. Conclusions: Whitening mouth rinses led to a whitening effect when they were used after conventional treatments; however, this process caused major changes on the surface of the enamel specimens.

Enamel microabrasion has become accepted as a conservative, nonrestorative method of removing intrinsic and superficial dysmineralization defects from dental fluorosis, restoring esthetics with minimal loss of enamel. However, it can be difficult to determine if restoration is necessary in dental fluorosis, because the lesion depth is often not easily recognized. This case report presents a method for analysis of enamel hypoplasia that uses quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) followed by a combination of enamel microabrasion with carbamide peroxide home bleaching. We describe the utility of QLF when selecting a conservative treatment plan and confirming treatment efficacy. In this case, the treatment plan was based on QLF analysis, and the selected combination treatment of microabrasion and bleaching had good results.

본 연구는 전문가 미백시 Sealed bleaching technique의 효율과 안정성을 평가하기 위해 split arch design의 randomized clinical trial을 시행하였다. 10명의 건전한 자연치를 가진 성인 환자의 상악 전치부를 좌우측으로 무작위로 나누어 전문가 미백 술식을 시행하였다. Brite powder (PacDent, Walnut, USA) 한 스푼에 10 방울의 3% 과산화수소수와 0.4ml의 carbamide peroxide gel (KoolWhite, PacDent, Walnut, USA)을 혼합하여 미백제로 사용하였다. 편측의 세 치아를 대조군으로 지정하여 통상적인 방법으로 전문가 미백을 시행하였고, 반대측의 세 치아는 실험군으로 미백제 위에 linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) wrap을 적용후 BT Cool light을 1시간 동안 적용하여 광활성화 하였다. 치아의 색조는 shadeguide를 이용하여 평가하는 방법과 spectrophotometer를 이용하여 측정하는 두 가지 방법을 이용하였으며, 술전, 술후, 체크시의 색조 측정 결과를 paired-t test로 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. Shade guide로 평가한 결과 실험군과 대조군 모두에서 술후와 체크시의 색조와 술전의 색조와는 유의한 차이가 있었다 (p<.05). 또한 술전에는 대조군과 실험관간의 색조의 유의차가 없었던 반면 술후와 체크 (p<.05)시 모두에서 두 군간의 차이가 있었다 (p<.05). Spectrophotometer로 측정한 ${\Delta}E$ 값의 경우, 술후에는 대조군에서 $4.35{\pm}1.38$, 실험군에서 $5.08{\pm}1.34$로 나타났으며, 체크시에는 대조군에서 $3.73{\pm}1.95$, 실험관에서는 $4.38{\pm}2.08$로 나타났다. ${\Delta}E$는 술전과 술후를 비교한 값, 그리고 술전과 체크시를 비교한 값 모두에서 실험군과 대조군 간의 유의차가 있었다 (p<05). 따라서 이 연구에서 사용된 미백 술식을 사용할 경우, sealed bleaching technique이 미백의 효율성을 높인다고 결론지을 수 있다.

Objectives : To evaluate the effect of fluoride application on the color and microhardness of bleached enamel and compare it to that of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) application. Methods : Twenty freshly extracted human adult molar were each sectioned into halves, the specimens divided and treated according to five experimental groups: Group 1, treatment with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching agent; Group 2, treatment with 10% CP followed by a 1.23% fluoride gel application; Group 3, treatment with 10% CP followed by a 2.23% sodium fluoride varnish application; Group 4, treatment with 10% CP followed by a 0.11% sodium fluoride gel application; Group 5, treatment with 10% CP followed by a CPP-ACP gel application. All groups were treated 6 h per day for 14 days then immersed in distilled water for 2 weeks. Changes in enamel color were evaluated on Baseline and Day 14. Microhardness were evaluated on Baseline, Days 7 and 14. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests. Results : All the bleached enamel specimens revealed increased whiteness and overall color value. Group 1 showed the lowest microhardness values than that of Groups 2, 3, 4 and 5. In all groups, the hardness of tooth after bleaching showed a significant decrease in the microhardness as compared with the one prior to tooth bleaching. The specimens treated with remineralizing agents showed relatively less reduction in enamel microhardness than control group. Conclusions : The addition of fluoride and CPP-ACP did not impede the whitening effect. The use of remineralizing agents during bleaching treatment can significantly enhance the microhardness of bleached enamel.

This study was undertaken to achieve a high bleaching efficacy with plasma, through longer application and reparative bleaching processes, by different shade evaluation methods. Extracted human teeth were divided into 6 groups (n=10). All teeth were treated in pairs. Low concentration of 15% carbamide peroxide (CP) was applied, with and without plasma, for 10, 20, and 30-min tooth bleaching, respectively. The bleaching procedure was repeated once daily for four days. The teeth were maintained in a moist environment provided by artificial saliva. The Vitapan Classical shade guide and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIELAB) color system were collectively used to measure the bleaching efficacy. Color evaluation was statistically analyzed using Student t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) complemented by Tukey's test. Combining the plasma with 15% CP showed significantly greater color changes compared to bleaching without plasma (p<0.05). A high bleaching efficacy with plasma is proportional to the repetitive application and the treatment time. A 30-min application with plasma provided the best bleaching. Repetitive bleaching showed lower probability of color relapse of the bleached tooth. The color change by shade guide correlated with the changes in CIELAB color system. A value of 1 color change units (CCU) conversion factor for overall color change (${\Delta}E$) values comparisons was 3.724 values. The two measuring methods provide a more accurate correspondence of color change. The repetitive and longer application for tooth bleaching, combined with plasma, has a strong bleaching effect and produces whiter teeth.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of the composite resin bonded on the bleached enamel surface according to its surface treatment. 90 extracted human premolars were divided into six groups. : enamel unbleached (control group) and enamel bleached with 15% carbamide peroxide for 2 weeks (experimental groups: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The surface of bleached enamel in all experimental groups was treated by following manners. Experimental group 1 : catalase immersion for 3 mimutes. Experimental group 2 : catalase immersion for 15 mimutes. Experimental group 3 : artificial saliva immersion for 1 hour. Experimental group 4 : artificial saliva immersion for 48 hours. Experimental group 5: surface reduction of the bleached enamel about 0.5mm-1mm with superfine diamond bur. Composite resin molds(3mm height, 3mm diameter) were bonded to the untreated enamel and treated. The shear bond strengths of composite resin bonded to enamel of each specimen were tested with universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 5mm/min and 500Kg in full scale and analyzed statistically. The following results were obtained : 1. Control group had the highest shear bond strength with $19.92{\pm}5.14$ MPa and experimental group 5 had the lowest shear bond strength with $11.15{\pm}4.23$ MPa. 2. Control group showed significant differences in shear bond strength with experimental group 1(P<0.05). 3. Control group showed significant differences in shear bond strength with experimental group 5(P<0.05). 4. Experimental group 4 showed significant differences in shear bond strength with experimental group 5(P<0.05). 5. Experimental group 3 showed no significant differences in shear bond strength with experimental group 4(P<0.05).

This study evaluated the microshear bond strength of composte resin to teeth bleached with commercial whitening strips and compared with those bleached with home bleaching gel. Twelve extracted human central incisors were cut into pieces and central four segments were chosen from each tooth and embedded in acrylic resin. Four blocks with 12 tooth segments embedded in acrylic resin were acquired and numbered from group one to group four. Group 1 was bleached with Crest Whitestrips, group 2 with Claren, group 3 with Opalescence tooth whitening gel (10％ carbamide peroxide). Group 4 was used as control. The bleaching procedure was conducted for 14 days according to the manufacturer's instructions ; the bleaching strips twice a day for 30 min and the bleaching gel once a day for 2hr. After bleaching, composite resin (Filtek Supreme) was bonded to the enamel surfaces with a self-etching adhesive (Adper Prompt L-Pop) using Tygon tube. Microshear bond strength was tested with a universal testing machine (EZ-test). The data were statistically analysed by one-way ANOVA. The study resulted in no statistical differences in microshear bond strength between the tooth segments bleached with 2 different whitening strips and bleaching gel. It can be concluded that the effect of bleaching with either commercial whitening strips or bleaching gel on enamel is minimal in bonding with self-etching adhesive to composite resin.

Objectives: Some antioxidants are believed to restore dentin bond strength after dental bleaching. This study was done to evaluate the influence of antioxidants on the bond strength of bleached bovine dentin. Materials and Methods: Thirty incisors were randomly assigned to 10 groups (two unbleached control and eight bleached groups:immediate bonding IB, 4 wk delayed bonding DB, 10% sodium ascorbate treated SA, 10% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol treated TP groups). Teeth in half of groups were subjected to thermal stress, whereas the remaining groups were not. Resin-dentin rods with a cross-sectional area of $2.25mm^2$ were obtained and microtensile bond strength was determined at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. Fifteen specimens were prepared for SEM to compare the surface characteristics of each group. The change in dentin bond strength from thermal stress and antioxidant treatment was evaluated using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Sheffe's post hoc test at a significance level of 95%. Results: The control group exhibited the highest bond strength values, whereas IB group showed the lowest value before and after thermocycling. The DB group recovered its bond strength similar to that of the control group. The SA and TP groups exhibited similar bond strength values with those of the control and DB groups before thermocycling. However, The TP group did not maintain bond strength with thermal stress, whereas the SA group did. Conclusions: Applying a 10% sodium ascorbate solution rather than 10% ${\alpha}$-tocopherol solution for 60 sec is recommended to maintain dentin bond strength when restoring non-vitally bleached teeth.
