Purpose The The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate the efficacy and safety of a self-whitening patch containing a primer containing taurine and 3.0% hydrogen peroxide. Methods A double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted on 55 subjects. The whitening patches containing 3.0% hydrogen peroxide were applied to the labial surfaces of maxillary six anterior teeth once daily for 30 minutes using a primer, and whitening efficacy was measured by △E^* values before application and at 3, 5, 7, and 10 days after application. Stability was determined using the Gingival index (GI) and visual analogue scale (VAS). Results Changes in △E^* values were clinically recognizable as early as day 5 after patch application, and whitening effects were visible by day 7. There was no statistically significant difference in gingival index (p=0.069). Conclusions Self-whitening patches using primer and 3.0% hydrogen peroxide applied once daily for 30 minutes showed effective whitening effect from the 5th day after application and could be used safely without significant side effects.

목적: 치은 미백은 치과치료의 목적으로 심미적 장애를 위한 치료에 가깝다. 기존의 치은미백술은 고출력 다이오드 레이저를 이용하여 박피술에 의한 치료를 했왔다. 그러나 이러한 치료법은 시술 후 감염 및 통증에서 자유로울 수 없기에, 우리는 저출력 LED 레이저를 이용하여 치은미백술을 진행하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 돼지고기 표면에 레이저를 조사하여 출력전력, 온도변화, 피부 변성 등의 안정성을 측정하였다. 15 - 20 kg 비글의 구강내 점막 색소에 비손 365 nm LED 레이저를 15분씩, 1 - 2주간 1, 2회씩 각각 조사하였다. 헤마토실린-에오신 염색을 통하여 색소의 손실여부를 확인하였다. 결과: 365 nm LED 레이저 조사 부위의 멜라닌 색소가 줄어드는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 결론: 본 연구에서 제시하는 365 nm LED 레이저는 수술적 기술 및 다이오드 레이저를 이용한 탈색화 효과를 대처 할 수 있을 것이라고 사료 된다.

목적: 미백젤의 효과 증대 및 치은 자극의 최소화를 위해 wrap을 사용하는 자가 도포 치아 미백제의 임상적 효능과 안전성을 평가하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 90명의 피험자를 대조군과 2.8%, 3.0%의 과산화수소가 포함된 미백젤을 사용하는 두 개의 실험군으로 각각 30명씩 무작위 배정하였다. 그들은 상악 4전치 부위에 하루 1번 30분씩 2주간 미백젤과 wrap을 사용하였다. VITA shade guide와 ShadeEye $NCC^{(R)}$를 이용하여 치아 색조 측정을 하였고, 부작용은 인터뷰와 구내 검사로 조사하였다. 효능과 안전성 평가를 위해 통계 처리 하였다. 결과: 비타 색조 기준표에 의한 평가에서는 미백 성분이 들어있는 실험군에서 대조군과 비교시 유의한 미백 효과를 보였다. 측색기를 이용한 평가에서는 3.0% 실험군이 대조군과 2.8% 실험군에 비해 유의한 미백 효과를 보였다(P < 0.05). 경미한 부작용의 호소가 일부 있었으나 모든 군에서 치은 자극에 대한 이상증상을 보이지 않았다. 결론: Wrap을 사용한 자가 도포 미백젤은 과산화수소의 농도가 2.8%에서 3.0%로 높아질수록 그 효과가 증가되며 유의하게 심각한 부작용이 관찰되지 않아 유용한 자가 미백 치료제로 활용될 수 있다.

This study examined the effects of red light generated from a light emitting diode (LED) upon proliferation and mitochondrial stress in human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs). Cells were exposed to LED-generated red light at a clinically relevant intensity and distance with a 610-630 nm wavelength for various times (0-48 min). At different exposure times, cells were processed for the analysis of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, proliferation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and cytotoxicity. Cell cycle progression was also investigated by flow cytometry after staining with propidium iodide. Red light exposure was found to inhibit SDH activity and DNA synthesis in hGFs in a time-dependent manner. Light exposure also reduced the MMP levels in these cells and this was closely associated with a $G_0/G_1$ arrest. In contrast, exposure of hGFs to red light for 48 min led to a dramatic loss of MMP with an attendant increase in cytotoxicity. These findings demonstrate that LED-generated red light may cause mitochondrial stress and growth inhibition in hGFs during tooth whitening therapy, depending on the length of the exposure.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tooth whitening effect of 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide toothpastes and safety on tooth and gingival tissue. Methods : Toothpastes containing 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In in-vitro test, some additives (sodium metaphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate and titanium dioxide) were added to the toothpastes. Hydroxyapatite specimens (HAPs) were made and stained using modified Stookey's methods. HAPs were treated for 1 hour at shaking incubator and brushed for 1,000 times as 250 gF with each diluted toothpaste. Before and after color was measured by colorimeter. Using double blind method, 99 Korean with natural maxillary anterior teeth were selected and the initial brightness (baseline) was measured by SHADEEYE-EX. Based on this measurement they were crossly distributed into control group (0% hydrogen peroxide), test 1 (0.74% hydrogen peroxide) and test 2 (2.80% hydrogen peroxide). After 2 weeks, people of each group were provided toothpaste and told to use 3 times a day right after every meal for 3 minutes. The brightness of teeth was measured 3 times for every one month. Results : ${\Delta}L$ was statistically significant among three groups in shaking test. ${\Delta}L$ of two test groups was statistically significant compared with control group but not between each test group in brushing test. After using toothpaste for 3 months, test 1 group and test 2 group were 15.89% and 31.23% more whitened compared with control group respectively (p<0.05). Rate of more whitened person of each test group was 24.2% and 40.5% more than control group respectively (p<0.05). There was no difference in the hypersensitivity during 3 months using toothpastes and no side effect on teeth or gums. Conclusions : Toothpastes containing 0.74% and 2.80% hydrogen peroxide showed tooth whitening effect and both were safe enough to use for tooth whitening.
