In-office and at-home bleaching techniques are widely used methods for the whitening of teeth. However, the safety of these techniques has not been clarified yet. The aim of the current study is to investigate the in-office- and at-home-bleaching-induced structural and quantitative changes in human enamel and dentin at the molecular level, under in vitro conditions. The Fourier transform mid-infrared (mid-FT-IR) spectroscopic technique was used to monitor bleaching-induced structural changes. Band frequency and intensity values of major absorptions such as amide A, amide I, phosphate (PO(4)), and carbonate (CO(3)(-2)) bands, for treatment groups and control, were measured and compared. The results revealed that both procedures have negligible effects on dentin constituents. In office-bleached enamel, in addition to demineralization, a decrease in protein and polysaccharide concentrations, mineral-to-protein ratio, and the strength of hydrogen bonds around NH groups, as well as a change in protein secondary structure were observed. The protein structure changed front beta-sheet to random coil, which is an indication of protein denaturation. However, no significant variations were observed for at-home bleached enamel. The control, at-home, and in-office bleached enamel samples were differentiated with a high accuracy using cluster analysis based on FT-IR data. This study revealed that office bleaching caused deleterious alterations in the composition and structure of enamel that significantly affected the crystallinity and mineralization of the tissue. Therefore, at-home bleaching seems to be much safer than in-office bleaching in terms of molecular variations.

Effects of hydrogen peroxide bleaching on human dentin and enamel microstructure and function Gökduman, Kurtuluş; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biotechnology (2005) In recent years bleaching of vital teeth has become popular among both dentist and patients. Different bleaching agents were used for this purpose. They are either applied professionally at high dose (office bleaching) or by patient at lower dose (home bleaching). In the present work we studied the effects of a high concentration bleaching agent (35% hydrogen peroxide), and a low concentration bleaching agent (17% carbamide peroxide) on human enamel and dentin using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectro...
Effect of bleaching on color change and refractive index of dental composite resins HUBBEZOĞLU, İHSAN; Akaoglu, Baris; DOĞAN, ARİFE; Keskin, Selda; Bolayir, Giray; ÖZÇELİK, SÜLEYMAN; DOĞAN, ORHAN MURAT (Japanese Society for Dental Materials and Devices, 2008-01-01) This study investigated the effects of three bleaching agents (Whiteness Perfect, Whiteness Super, and Whiteness HP) on the color change and refractive index of three dental composites (Admira, Durafill VS, and Gradia Direct). Twenty diskshaped specimens (10 x 2 mm) of each composite were prepared and divided into four subgroups (n = 5). An unbleached group was used as a control, while the remaining specimens in the three subgroups were bleached with one of the bleaching agents respectively. Color change wa...
Treatment of softwood bleacbery effluents by Penicillium camemberti in anaerobic jars Taseli, BK; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi (2005-01-01) Penicillium camemberti was found to be very effective in treating softwood pulp bleaching effluents and chlorinated model compounds like PCP, 2-chlorophenol and trichloroacetic acid. This paper examines the ability of Penicillium camemberti to degrade softwood pulping and bleaching effluents in anaerobic jars. Softwood chlorinated pulping and bleaching effluents inoculated with Penicillium camemberti (20 ml in 25-ml universal tubes) were incubated under anaerobic conditions (oxoid anaerobic jars) at 25 degr...
Treatment of Tectilon Yellow 2G by Chlorella vulgaris EBRU, acuner; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (2004-01-01) Treatment of mono-azo dye, tectilon yellow 2G (TY2G), by Chlorella vulgaris was investigated. COD removal efficiencies were determined as 69, 66 and 63% for the initial TY2G concentrations of 50, 200 and 400 mg/l, respectively, whereas acclimation of C vulgaris caused them to increase to 88, 87 and 88%, respectively. Absorbance spectral profiles obtained for unacclimated algae showed that the peak observed initially at 450 nm disappeared and the one at 220 nm decreased remarkably while there was a new peak ...
Prevention of restrictive adhesions in primary tendon repair by HA-membrane: experimental research in chickens Isik, S; Ozturk, S; Gürses, Senih; Yetmez, M; Guler, MM; Selmanpakoglu, N; Gunhan, O (1999-07-01) Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan polymer that has been found to have some beneficial effects on the prevention of adhesions in primary tendon repairs. The need for slow elimination preparations of HA has been identified. We have combined HA and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in order to get a slow elimination preparation of HA and studied its possible effect on primary tendon healing.
