EVALUATION OF THE LEVEL OF MINERALIZATION OF DENTAL HARD TISSUES AFTER BLEACHING

Abstract

The aim of the study was a comparative assessment of the surface structure of the studied samples of hard tissues of teeth after dental whitening by various methods. To study the quality of the tooth surface after whitening with various preparations, samples of the studied teeth were prepared for scanning microscopy of enamel using a scanning electron microscope. According to scanning electron microscopy, the use of bleaching agents containing 35% hydrogen peroxide leads to the appearance of foci of enamel destruction. After whitening the enamel, its surface was marked by multiple erosion. Bleaching teeth with whitening pastes does not damage the structure of the enamel. A necessary condition for individual therapeutic and preventive measures is to motivate the patient to use oral hygiene products.
