Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of selecting commercially available blending teas and applying them to bovine teeth on color change over time. Methods: After selecting healthy bovine teeth, using a cutting-disc, 105 specimens with a dimension of 5×5×3 mm were prepared, and 15 specimens were distributed to each group. Black tea was used as a positive control, water was used as a negative control, and blended tea of five types was used as an experimental group. First, pH and buffering capacity were measured with a pH meter, and tooth color was determined using a spectrophotometer before immersion in the blending tea solution and 1, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days after immersion. Thereafter, the shape change of the enamel surface was observed using a scanning electron microscope, and SPSS ver.26 was used to analyze the color change. Results: The average pH of the five blending teas in the experimental group was 3.78, and the pH of group 3 (strawberry rhubarb) was the lowest at 3.22. The pH levels of black tea and water were 5.19 and 7.30, respectively. The buffering capacity was the highest in group 3 at both pH levels of 5.5 and 7.0. The L^*a^*b^* color change according to immersion time was the largest in group 4 (rooibos yellow flower), and the amount of color change was large in black tea and group 4. As a result of observing the enamel surface of bovine teeth, changes in the surface shape were noted in all groups immersed in the experimental solution for 21 days, except for water. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the experimental groups in terms of color change according to the immersion time, and color and enamel surface changes were observed in black tea and all experimental groups, except for water.

Objective: We aimed to perform in-vitro evaluation to compare 1) shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI), and color change between self-etched and acid-etched primers; 2) the SBS, ARI and color change between direct and indirect bonding; and 3) the enamel roughness (ER) between 12-blade bur and aluminum oxide polisher debonding methods. Methods: Seventy bovine incisors were distributed in seven groups: control (no bonding), direct (DTBX), and 5 indirect bonding (ITBX, IZ350, ISONDHI, ISEP, and ITBXp). Transbond XT Primer was used in the DTBX, ITBX, and ITBXp groups, flow resin Z350 in the IZ350 group, Sondhi in the ISONDHI group, and SEP primer in the ISEP group. SBS, ARI, and ER were evaluated. The adhesive remnant was removed using a low-speed tungsten bur in all groups except the ITBXp, in which an aluminum oxide polisher was used. After coffee staining, color evaluations were performed using a spectrophotometer immediately after staining and prior to bonding. Results: ISONDHI and ISEP showed significantly lower SBS (p < 0.01). DTBX had a greater number of teeth with all the adhesive on the enamel (70%), compared with the indirect bonding groups (0-30%). The ER in the ITBX and ITBXp groups was found to be greater because of both clean-up techniques used. Conclusions: Direct and indirect bonding have similar results and all the primers used show satisfactory adhesion strength. Use of burs and polishers increases the ER, but polishers ensure greater integrity of the initial roughness. Resin tags do not change the color of the teeth.

본 연구는 자가 미백제로 많이 사용되고 있는 10% Carbamide Peroxide에 NaF를 첨가하여 사용하였으며 미백 후 인공적으로 변색시킨 법랑질의 색, 경도 및 표면변화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 10% CP 미백처리군과 10% CP+NaF 미백처리군의 색조변화량은 미백 후 색조 변화를 보였으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이를 나타냈으며 NBS unit로 환산해본 결과 미백처리군 모두 very much에 해당되어 임상적인 의미를 지니는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.001). 2. 10% CP 미백처리군은 미백처리 후의 법랑질 표면경도 값이 미백처리 전에 비해 감소하였으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이를 나타냈다. 불소첨가 미백군은 미백처리 전과 비교하여 표면경도 값이 거의 변하지않았다. 3. 미백처리 전 후의 법랑질 표면에 대한 미세구조를 분석하기 위해 주사전자현미경과 원자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 미백처리 후 탈회현상에 의해 법랑질 표면이 거칠어짐을 관찰 할 수 있었으며 미백제와 함께 불소를 적용한 처리 군에서는 미백 처리에 의해 거칠어진 법랑질 표면이 불소에 의해 재광화가 됨을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 미루어볼 때 10% CP 치아 미백은 법랑질 표면에 영향을 미쳐 미백 후 치아의 시림이나 표면의 형태변화, 경도 값의 감소 등과 같은 부작용을 야기 할 수 있으므로 불소를 포함한 미백제의 사용이나 치아미백 후 불소도포를 시행함으로써 법랑질 표면의 재광화를 유도하여 치아미백 후 발생할 수 있는 여러 부작용을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of ramen sauce on tooth tone changes over time, after selecting three different ramen colors from the ramens sold in the market, and applying the sauce to bovine teeth. Methods: Healthy bovine teeth were selected, and cutting discs were used to produce 60 specimens (5× 5× 3 mm), with 15 specimens distributed per county. Three types of ramen (buldak, chacharoni black bean sauce, and ottogi curry noodle) were used as the experimental group, and water was used as the negative control group. Tooth tone measurement was performed using a spectrophotometer (CM-700d) to measure the color before and after 1 (3 h 44 min), 2 (7 h 28 min), 3 (11 h 12 min), and 4 weeks (14 h 56 min). Analysis of the color tone change was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 28. Results: In the experimental group, there was a significant color tone change before and after immersion. L^* indicated the largest change in black bean sauce ramen, a^* indicated buldak ramen, and b^* indicated the largest change in curry ramen. The amount of color change (∆E^*) was the largest in curry ramen, followed by buldak and black bean sauce ramens. The results of the post-hoc analysis showed significant differences between all groups except buldak and black bean sauce ramens. Conclusion: All three types of ramen revealed significant color change before and after immersion, and curry ramen showed the largest amount of color change among them.

이 연구는 35% 과산화요소를 이용한 전문가 치아미백술에 플라즈마 아크를 함께 적용하여 플라즈마 아크가 법랑질의 색조변화에 미치는 효과와 비커스경도와 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 법랑질 표면에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 in vitro 평가를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 미백 횟수의 증가에 따라 색조변화량(${\Delta}E^*$)이 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 나타내었으며, 미백 제만 단독으로 적용한 대조군 보다 플라즈마 아프를 함께 적용하여 미백처리를 한 실험군의 색조변화량(${\Delta}E^*$)이 더 높게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 2. 미백처리 전 후 법랑질의 미세경도 측정 값을 분석한 결과 미백 처치를 함으로써 미세경도 값이 통계적으로 유의하게 감소되었고, 미백제에 플라즈마 아크를 함께 적용한 실험군에서 더 큰 미세경도의 감소가 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 주사전자현미경 관찰에서 미백 처치를 한 시료에서 법랑질 표면이 상당히 거칠어진 양상을 나타내는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 전문가 치아미백술에서 플라즈마 아크를 함께 적용함으로써 색조변화를 더욱 상승시킬 수 있으나, 법랑질 표면의 미세경도와 형태변화를 증가시킬 수 있으므로 미백 효과는 증가시키면서 법랑질의 형태와 구조는 변화시키지 않는 안전한 미백 방법에 관한 연구가 이루어 져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the effects of external tooth bleaching with flouridation on the appearance of white spot lesions (WSLs) in vitro. Methods: In total, 125 bracket-bonded bovine incisor enamel blocks with artificial WSLs were randomly divided into a control group and four treatment groups (home bleaching, home bleaching + fluoridation, in-office bleaching, and in-office bleaching + fluoridation). A spectroradiometer (SR) and digital images (DIs) were used to evaluate colorimetric parameters (Commission Internationale l'Eclairage $L^*a^*b^*$) for all specimens. Color measurements were obtained before WSL formation (T1), after WSL formation (T2), and after completion of the external tooth bleaching treatment (T3). Results: The SRbased color change after bleaching was significantly greater in the treatment groups than in the control group (p < 0.05). SR-based lightness ($L^*$) and redgreen ($a^*$) values were significantly higher at T2 than at T1 (p < 0.001), with no significant changes in yellow-blue ($b^*$) values. At T3, SR-based $L^*$ values had increased while $a^*$ and $b^*$ values had decreased in the treatment groups (p < 0.001). The DI-based color difference between the sound enamel and WSL areas (DE*DI) increased significantly from T1 to T2 in all groups (p < 0.001) and significantly decreased from T2 to T3 in the treatment groups (p < 0.001). No significant differences in ${\Delta}E^*DI$ at T3 were shown between the four treatment groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The findings of this study suggested that external tooth bleaching with fluoridation can alleviate the conspicuity of WSLs.

This study evaluated whether fluoride treatment can affect recovery of the irregularity of enamel surface after tooth whitening with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (HP) activated by plasma arc light. A total of 36 bovine teeth stained with coke were used in this experiment. The specimens were classified into following three groups (two different commercial plasma arc groups and a control group without light curing source): (1) 35% HP gel only, (2): 35% HP gel and Plasma arc A, and (3) 35% HP gel and Plasma arc B. To measure color changes and surface morphologies before and after the bleaching, colorimeter and scanning electron microscopy were used, respectively. When the specimens were bleached with hydrogen peroxide and plasma arc lights, the bleaching effect was greater than when only hydrogen peroxide gels were used (Kruskal-Wallis test, p<0.05). In addition, plasma arc B showed the more color changes than plasma arc A (Bonferroni post-hoc test, p<0.05). The surfaces of the teeth treated with fluoride gel after the whitening treatment came to be smooth. Therefore, the results of this study suggested that the fluoride application for patients who got tooth whitening therapy with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide gels activated by plasma arc light will be effective to recover rough enamel surfaces.

Background: In this study, the bleaching effect and surface damage of two types of over-the-counter home tooth bleaching agents were explored using an in vitro study of bleaching agents applied to bovine teeth specimens for 14 days. Methods: Domestic over-the-counter home tooth bleaching agents of gel and patch form that shared common active ingredients and manufacturers were selected and tested. The experiment specimens were made using composite resin with bovine tooth samples and then measured the initial microhardness. Specimens were then divided into a Gel group and a Patch group and underwent bleaching treatment once a day for two weeks for 30 to 60 minutes (recommended) or 7 hours. All specimens were coffee-stained prior to bleaching. The bleaching effect was measured using a spectrophotometer and surface damage was measured using a microhardness meter. Results: The difference in color following the bleaching procedure was positive in both the Gel and Patch group, although there were no statistically significant differences in bleaching effect between groups. There was no significant difference in bleaching effect based on duration. The microhardness test revealed that both the Gel group and the Patch group had surface damage after bleaching. The greatest surface damage was found in the Patch group that had undergone a 7-hour bleaching treatment, although the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The bleaching effect of the home tooth bleaching agent was visible to the naked eye. However, longer applications than recommended did not result in greater bleaching, unlike consumers' expectations, and instead increased the chance of enamel damage. As such, there is a need for consumers to be alert and adhere to recommendations provided by each company.

최근 들어 치아 미백술이 대중화되고 있으나, 단기간내 색소 재침착 등 고유의 한계점이 극복되지는 못 하고 있는 실정이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 치아 미백 효과의 색조 안정성을 향상시킬 방법의 하나로서, resin infiltration의 활용 타당성을 평가할 목적으로 시도되었다. 건전한 총 40개 우치 전치 순면으로부터 법랑질 시편을 채취, 제작하여 1차 착색 및 미백술을 시행하였다. 21일 경과후 시편을 무작위로 3개 군으로 나누어, resin infiltration군(RI군) 과 레진 접착제군(RA군)에 각 15개씩, 그리고 나머지 10개를 대조군으로 하였다. 마지막으로 전체 시편에 대하여 2차 착색을 시행하였다. 전 연구과정에서 색조 평가는 최초상태, 착색 직후, 미백제 적용후, 각 재료 적용후 및 2차 착색 후의 총 5회를 시행하였으며, spectrophotometer를 이용하여 측정하고 CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ 색조계로 기록하였다. 모든 군이 착색 후 $L^*$ 값은 감소, $a^*$, $b^*$ 값은 증가하였으며, RI군과 RI군 모두 재료 적용 전후의 유의한 색조변화는 없었다(p > 0.05). 1차 착색 전후의 색조변화량은 RI군, RA군 및 대조군에서 각각, $12.16{\pm}3.50$, $12.16{\pm}3.38$, $15.81{\pm}6.39$였던 반면, 2차 착색 전후의 변화량은 각각 $15.21{\pm}7.19$, $15.93{\pm}4.31$, 그리고 $26.62{\pm}17.89$로 나타났다. 2차 착색 후의 색조변화량은 RI군과 대조군간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한, 1, 2 차 착색 전후의 각 군내 색조변화량 비교에 있어서는, RA 군과 대조군에 있어서는 유의한 차이를 보였으나(p < 0.05), RI군에서는 차이가 존재하지 않았다(p = 0.26). 이상의 결과로 보아, 재착색에 민감한 미백후의 치아에 대하여 레진 접착제의 적용으로는 미흡하며, resin infiltration을 통하여 색조 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
