Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the bleaching efficacy and hydrogen peroxide permeability in the pulp chamber by the at-home bleaching gel in protocols applied on different dental surfaces. Materials and Methods: Forty premolars were randomly into 4 groups: control group no bleaching, only application on the buccal surface (OB), only application on the lingual surface (OL) and application in buccal and lingual surfaces, simultaneously (BL). At-home bleaching gel (White Class 7.5%) was used for the procedure. The bleaching efficacy was evaluated with a digital spectrophotometer (color change in CIELAB [ΔE_ab] and CIEDE 2000 [ΔE₀₀] systems and Whitening Index for Dentistry [ΔWI_D]). The hydrogen peroxide permeability in the pulp chamber (㎍/mL) was assessed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry and data were analyzed for a 1-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Results: All groups submitted to bleaching procedure showed bleaching efficacy when measured with ΔE_ab and ΔE₀₀ (p > 0.05). Therefore, when analyzed by ΔWI_D, a higher bleaching efficacy were observed for the application on the groups OB and BL (p = 0.00003). Similar hydrogen peroxide permeability was found in the pulp chambers of the teeth undergoing different protocols (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The application of bleaching gel exclusively on the OB is sufficient to achieve bleaching efficacy, when compared to BL. Although the OL protocol demonstrated lower bleaching efficacy based on the ΔWI_D values, it may still be of interest and relevant in certain clinical scenarios based on individual needs, requiring clinical trials to better understand its specificities.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in dentinal permeability after application of dentin desensitizer on exposed dentin immediately after ultrasonic scaling to teeth with non-carious cervical lesions. Thirty caries-free extracted molars were fixed to slide glasses after horizontally being sectioned at 5 mm below the cemento- enamel junction (CEJ). The prepared specimen was connected to a fluid flow measuring device (nano-Flow), and a V-shaped cavity was formed at the CEJ to imitate the non-carious cervical lesion. After no fluid leakage was confirmed in the connected system with specimen, tooth surface was treated ultrasonic cleaning with piezoelectric ultrasonic scalers until dentinal tubules were exposed. And 6 different desensitizers were applied on exposed dentin. Real-time measurements of dentinal fluid flow were performed during ultrasonic scaling and application of dentin desensitizer. To evaluate the occlusion of exposed dentinal tubules, tooth surface was examined by SEM. Following results were observed. After ultrasonic scaling, more dentinal tubules were exposed on the tooth with non-carious cervical lesions compared to tooth without lesions. The rate of fluid flow measured with nano-Flow system had correlation with the degree of dentin occlusion observed with SEM after application of desensitizers on exposed dentin. Desensitizers with glutaraldehyde and HEMA did not decrease the rate of fluid flow and did not show dentin occlusion. Desensitizers with oxalate showed the limited effects on the rate of fluid flow and dentinal tubule occlusion. Desensitizer with resin monomer showed the significant effect on the rate of fluid flow and dentin occlusion.

목적: 상아질 지각과민증의 치료를 위해 사용되는 지각과민 처치제의 효과는 일시적인 것으로 보이며 이는 상당부분 칫솔질에 의한 마모소실로 판단된다. 지각과민 처치제의 칫솔질에 의한 마모를 감소시키기 위해 bonding resin을 지각과민 처치제에 추가 도포하여 칫솔질 시행 후 상아질 투과도의 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 재료 및 방법: 우식이 없는 치아를 이용하여 1 mm 두께의 치관부 상아질 디스크를 제작한 다음, All-Bond 2$^{(R)}$, Seal & Protect$^{(R)}$, Gluma$^{(R)}$, MS Coat$^{(R)}$의 4 종류의 지각과민 처치제만 처리한 시편과 Dentine/Enamel Bonding Resin$^{(R)}$ (Bisco Inc.)을 추가로 도포한 시편에 대해 처리하기 전과 처리한 후, 1주(왕복 140회), 2주(왕복 280회), 6주(왕복 840회)에 해당하는 칫솔질을 적용한 후에 측정한 hydraulic conductance (Lp)와 주사 전자 현미경 사진을 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 지각과민 처치제 만을 처리한 군과 bonding resin (Dentine/Enamel Bonding Resin$^{(R)}$)을 추가 도포한 군 모두에서 처리 직후 hydraulic conductance가 급격히 감소하였다. 지각과민 처치제만 처리한 군과 bonding resin을 추가 도포한 군 간의 hydraulic conductance를 비교한 결과 All-Bond 2$^{(R)}$, Gluma$^{(R)}$, MS Coat$^{(R)}$와 bonding resin을 도포한 군에서는 1주(왕복 140회), 2주(왕복 280회), 6주(왕복 840회)의 칫솔질을 시행한 후 hydraulic conductance가 지각과민 처치제만 도포한 군에 비해 현저히 낮았고, Seal & Protect$^{(R)}$ 에서는 6주(왕복840회)의 칫솔질을 시행한 후에만 같은 결과를 보였다. 주사 전자 현미경 관찰에서 지각과민 처치제만 처리한 군과 bonding resin을 추가로 도포한 군 모두에서 처리 직후에 상아세관이 완전히 폐쇄되거나 일부만 폐쇄되어 상아 세관의 내경이 감소된 양상을 볼 수 있었으나, 6주(왕복 840회) 칫솔질 시행 후에는 bonding resin을 추가 도포한 군에서만 현저하게 폐쇄 또는 내경이 감소된 상아세관이 관찰되었다. 결론: 지각과민 처치제 처리 후 bonding resin (Dentine/Enamel Bonding Resin$^{(R)}$, Bisco Inc.)을 추가 도포하는 것이 지속적인 상아세관 폐쇄에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
