Hipersensibilidade dentária (HD) é definida como uma dor decorrente de dentina exposta em resposta a fatores intra-bucais. Porém, o papel do biofilme supragengival (BS) no processo de desencadeamento e/ou aumento da HD não é totalmente esclarecido. Este estudo é um ensaio clínico de braço único cujo objetivo foi o de avaliar se, após 4 dias sem medidas mecânicas de controle do BS, a auto-percepção da hipersensibilidade dentinária é influenciada pela presença daquele. Para isto, 74 participantes (28,1±7,3 anos, 48 mulheres), com saúde gengival e ≥ 5 dentes hígidos por quadrante, foram incluídos se apresentassem recessão (REC) e/ou queixa de HD. No dia 0, avaliou-se REC, escala Schiff (ES), Escala Visual Analógica, sensibilidade tátil por meio da sonda Jay (JAY) e Índice de Sangramento Gengival (ISG). Após, realizou-se profilaxia, para remoção de cálculo e/ou BS e os participantes foram orientados a abster-se do controle mecânico do BS por 4 dias e a realizar 2 bochechos/dia (manhã e noite, 1 minuto) com solução de creme dental fluoretado (1g/9ml). No dia 4, após exame usando o Índice de Placa Visível (IPV), índice de Quigley-Hein (QH), EVA e ISG, foi realizada nova profilaxia. Regressão logística por meio de Equações de Estimação Generalizadas foi conduzida, sendo o dente a unidade de análise. Uma média de 6,00±4,08 dentes/paciente apresentou recessão e/ou queixa de HD. Na totalidade dos dentes (n=444), o acúmulo do BS não determinou aumento na queixa de HD. Quando analisados dentes com Schiff≥1 no dia 0 (n=128), a presença de BS associou-se ao aumento na EVA (OR=4,233; p=0,006) independente da presença ou extensão da REC. Conclui-se que o acúmulo do BS aumenta a auto-percepção de HD. / Dental hypersensitivity (HD) is defined as a pain arising from exposed dentin in response to intra-buccal factors. However, the role of the supragingival biofilm (BS) in the process of triggering and / or increasing HD is not fully understood. This study is a single-arm clinical trial whose objective was to evaluate whether, after 4 days without mechanical measures of BS control, the self-perception of dentin hypersensitivity is influenced by the presence of that. Seventy-four participants (28.1 ± 7.3 years, 48 women) with gingival health and ≥ 5 healthy teeth per quadrant were included if they presented recession (REC) and / or HD complaint. At day 0, REC, Schiff scale (ES), Visual Analog Scale tactile sensitivity by means of the Jay (JAY) probe and Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) were performed. After that, prophylaxis was performed, for calculation and / or BS removal, and participants were instructed to abstain from BS mechanical control for 4 days and to perform 2 mouthwashes / day (morning and night, 1 minute) with a fluoride toothpaste slurry (1g / 9ml). On day 4, after examination using the Visible Plaque Index (IPV), Quigley-Hein Index (QH), EVA and GBI, a new prophylaxis was performed. Logistic regression using Generalized Estimation Equations was conducted, with the tooth being the unit of analysis. An average of 6.00 ± 4.08 teeth/patient presented recession and / or complaint of HD. In all teeth (n = 444), the accumulation of BS did not increase HD complaint. When teeth with Schiff≥1 on day 0 were (n = 128), the presence of BS was associated with an increase in VAS (OR = 4,233; p = 0.006) regardless of the presence or extent of REC. It is concluded that the accumulation of BS increases the self-perception of HD

Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / Tooth discoloration has increased the demand by patients to pursue aesthetic treatment options. Bleaching is considered a conservative approach in performing an aesthetic treatment for discolored teeth; however colour rebound and post-operative sensitivity are among the adverse effects associated with vital bleaching. In-office bleaching systems employ the use of high hydrogen peroxide concentrations. The effects of in-office bleaching agents on the degree of colour change and the gender differences in relation to bleaching outcomes are questionable. Post-operative sensitivity can be considered a bleaching side effect and the number of patients that experience it is unknown.Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of an in-office vital bleaching technique. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the degree of colour change after vital tooth bleaching using a 35% hydrogen peroxide gel (Yotuel® Special, Biocosmetics Laboratories, Spain), using a spectrophotometer (CM-2600d Konica, Minolta) to measure the colour change at each intervention during the bleaching process, to assess the post-operative sensitivity during the first week of the intervention, to evaluate the patients' perception of the colour change and to compare it to the colour change (ΔE) expressed in numeric values and to investigate whether gender differences exist in relation to the outcome of the bleaching procedure. Materials and Methods: The maxillary anterior teeth of 22 patients comprising of 11 males and 11 females were bleached with a 35% hydrogen peroxide gel (Yotuel® Special, Biocosmetics Laboratories, Spain). Pre-treatment readings of the two maxillary central incisors using a spectrophotometer (CM-2600d Konica, Minolta) were obtained. Subsequent readings were obtained after scaling and polishing, before bleaching (which was used as a baseline reading), immediately after bleaching, one week and one month post-operatively. Patients were requested to complete a form regarding post-operative tooth sensitivity and their colour perception toward the bleaching treatment. Results: The quantitative effect of the bleaching material on tooth colour showed an increase in L* values and a decrease in a* and b* values, the changes were significant (p values ≤ 0.05) except for the mean value of b* one month after bleaching which was only significant between five and ten percent.The mean values of colour change measured as ΔE between baseline and after bleaching was found to be 3.4 which did not exceed the visible colour change perceptible clinically at a difference of 3.7 units according to the literature. However nine patients exceeded the visible clinical colour change immediately after bleaching. There was no gender difference in the ΔE values in the entire bleaching process. Tooth sensitivity is considered a bleaching side effect and in this study sensitivity was traced until the fifth day after bleaching. The mean value of patients' tooth sensitivity was found to be 1.73 in the first day on a 4 point visual analog scale. The mean value of patients' colour perception was found to be 2.14 immediately after bleaching on a 3 point visual analog scale. Spearman correlation tests showed a positive relationship between ΔE values immediately and one week after bleaching and a weak relationship one week and one month after bleaching. There was significant consistency in the patients‟ colour perception data immediately and one week after the bleaching process and a weak relationship between ΔE values and patients' colour perception one month after bleaching. Conclusion: Yotuel® Special, Biocosmetics Laboratories, (Spain) an in-office bleaching material consisting of 35% hydrogen peroxide was able to bleach patients' teeth with a perceptible colour change however the chalky white teeth desired were not obtained for all the patients. Tooth sensitivity was a temporary side effect.

This paper investigated the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of laser fluorescence and tactile probing for the detection of subgingival calculus. The gold standard for subgingival calculus detection has always been tactile probing. In this study 27 teeth were collected and 108 surfaces investigated, one tooth was excluded (group #13) where no calculus was observed on any surface, and three surfaces because of subgingival root caries to avoid confounding data, which left a total of 101 surfaces of 26 extracted teeth that meet the investigation criteria. The presence of subgingival calculus was observed on 75 tooth surfaces (74.25%). There was a correlation between tooth surface and the presence of calculus. Subgingival calculus was from most to least frequently observed on the Distal surface (92.0%), Lingual surface (76.9%), Mesial surface (70.8%) and Facial surface (57.7%). The amount of laser fluoresce increased according to the amount of subgingival calculus. There was a correlation between the amount of subgingival calculus and the amount of laser fluorescence. The tactile probing had a similar sensitivity compared to laser fluorescence for the detection of subgingival calculus. The laser fluorescence was more specific compared to tactile probing for the detection of subgingival calculus. The tactile probing had a similar accuracy compared to laser fluorescence for the detection of subgingival calculus. The laser fluorescence had more precision compared to tactile probing for the detection of subgingival calculus. These results show that by using both tactile probing and laser fluorescence the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of detecting subgingival calculus can be increased. An increase in the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and precision of detecting subgingival calculus could help in the diagnosis and treatment of patients suffering from gingival recession and periodontal disease.

Objectives: Evaluate and assess the effect of an innovative double layer, single application desensitizing/whitening technique on Nitrate penetration and total color change. Methods: Specimens were prepared from extracted caries free human molars (n=160). Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups: 100μl 25% hydrogen peroxide “Philips Zoom chairside” as control group (CTRL), double layer treatment of 20μl 5% potassium nitrate “Relief ACP, Philips oral care” and 100μl 25% hydrogen peroxide (DL20), double layer treatment of 40μl 5% potassium nitrate and 100μl 25% hydrogen peroxide (DL40), and one layer treatment of 40 μl 5% potassium nitrate (PN40). Spectrophotometric color measurements (Vita EasyShade) were done at base line (T0), one day (T1), and one month (T2) following the treatment. Nitrate penetration was measured using a nitrate/nitrite assay kit. Group comparisons of tooth color difference measurements, and nitrate penetration readings were made using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Adjustment was made for pairwise treatment comparisons using the Tukey method in conjunction with an overall 0.05 level of significance. Results: 160 teeth were used. Color difference (ΔE) results at (T1) and (T2) showed no significant difference among the CTRL, DL20, DL40 groups. But there was a statistical significant difference between those groups and the single layer (PN40) group (p

A realização de preparos cavitários que removam menor quantidade de substrato dentário sadio, oferecendo maior conforto e menor sensibilidade durante o tratamento odontológico em crianças, associado ao emprego de materiais restauradores estéticos adesivos são procedimentos comumente empregados na odontologia minimamente invasiva. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a sensibilidade dentária durante a remoção seletiva das lesões de cárie e preparo cavitário em dentes decíduos e o método de remoção de tecido cariado preferido pelas crianças. Foram selecionadas 20 crianças entre 7 e 10 anos, apresentando pelo menos duas lesões de cárie ativas, com cavitação atingindo dentina localizadas na superfície oclusal de molares decíduos homólogos. Os dentes de cada criança foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: (I) Laser de Er:YAG (250mJ / 4 Hz), para remoção do esmalte cavo superficial e remoção seletiva da lesão de cárie associado a curetas e (II) Método Convencional (turbina de alta rotação para remoção do esmalte cavo-superficial e turbina de baixa rotação para a remoção seletiva do tecido cariado associado a curetas). A sensibilidade dentária foi analisada durante a remoção seletiva de lesões de cárie e preparo cavitário, empregando a escala facial analógica. A preferência pelo método de remoção de tecido cariado pelas crianças foi avaliado após 7 dias da realização das restaurações. Nas cavidades médias foi realizada proteção pulpar indireta com cimento de ionômero de vidro (Ketac Molar - 3M), nas cavidades profundas foi realizada proteção pulpar indireta utilizando cimento de hidróxido de cálcio (Dycal - Dentisply) e cimento de ionômero de vidro (Ketac Molar - 3M). Todas as cavidades preparadas foram restauradas empregando o sistema restaurador Adper Single Bond 2 / Filtek Supreme (3M). Os dados obtidos relativos à sensibilidade dentária foram submetidos ao teste de Fischer e os resultados não indicaram associação entre os tratamentos realizados e a face indicada pela criança (p=0,065), na escala facial analógica. Em relação à preferência pelo método de remoção seletiva de lesões de cárie, 90% das crianças optaram pela utilização do laser de Er:YAG. Considerando a metodologia utilizada e os resultados obtidos pode-se concluir que independente do método utilizado, convencional ou laser de Er:YAG, a sensibilidade dentária não foi alterada durante a remoção seletiva de lesões de cárie, no entanto o laser foi o método preferido pela grande maioria das crianças. / Cavity preparations removing fewer sound dental substrates, providing greater comfort and less sensitivity during the dental treatment in children, associated to the use of adhesive esthetic restorative materials are procedures usually employed in minimally invasive dentistry. The present study aimed to evaluate the tooth sensitivity during the selective carious lesions removal and cavity preparation in primary teeth and the preference by the method employed to remove the carious tissue. Twenty children aged between 7-10 year, who presented at least two active carious lesions with cavitation reaching dentine, located on the occlusal surface of homologous primary molars, were selected. The teeth of each child was randomly assigned to one of these groups: (I) Er:YAG laser (250mJ/ 4 Hz) to remove the cavosurface enamel and selective carious lesion removal associated with curettes, and (II) Conventional Method (high speed turbine to remove the cavosurface enamel and low speed turbine to selective carious tissue removal associated with curettes). The tooth sensitivity was assessed during the selective carious tissue removal and cavity preparation, using an analog facial scale, and the preference by the method of selective removal of carious tissue was evaluated 7 days after the tooth restoration. At cavities with medium depth, an indirect pulp capping was performed with glassionomer cement (Ketac Molar - 3M) and at deep cavities, the indirect pulp capping was performed with calcium hydroxide cement (Dycal - Dentsply) plus glass-ionomer cement (Ketac Molar - 3M). All of them were restored using the restorative system Adper Single Bond 2 / Filtek Supreme (3M). The data related to the tooth sensitivity were subjected to Fischers test and the results indicated no association between the experimental treatments and the face indicated by the child (p=0,065) at the analog facial scale. Regarding the preference by the method of selective carious tissue removal, 90% of the children chose the employ of Er:YAG laser. It can be concluded that the Er:YAG laser had no influence at tooth sensitivity during the selective carious lesions removal at primary teeth, however, it was the preferred method by children.

Seventy-seven patients with right upper canine darker than A3 were selected to participate in this single-blind randomized trial. The participants were distributed in four groups: bleaching with 20% HP alone; 20% HP + LED/laser; 35% HP alone [35%]; 35% HP + LED/laser. The buccal surfaces of the anterior teeth were bleached, in two sessions, using a 35% or 20% HP gel with one week interval. At each session, three applications of 15 min were used. For the light activated groups, the LED/laser energy (Whitening Laser Light Plus, DMC) was employed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The color change was evaluated by using the Vitapan Classical Shade Guide and the VITA Easyshade Spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik) 1 week and 1 month post bleaching. Participants recorded TS with a five-point verbal and VAS scales, and identified the sensitive tooth. Color change was analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey’s tests (α = 0.05). The absolute risk of TS and TS intensity evaluated by Fisher’s exact test and Kruskall Wallis test, respectively (α = 0.05). All groups achieved the same level of whitening at both evaluation periods, except for the 20% HP group, which showed the lowest amount of whitening as detected by the subjective evaluation. The use of light did not increase absolute risk of TS and TS intensity during and after bleaching for both scales. The premolars were the least sensitive. It can be concluded that the use of LED/laser light activation was able to increase the amount of whitening produced with the 20% HP without increasing TS, but this association was not useful for the 35% HP gel. / O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a eficácia clareadora e a sensibilidade dental (SD) de duas concentrações (20% e 35%) de peróxido de hidrogênio (PH), utilizadas para o clareamento dental em consultório, associadas ou não a fonte de luz LED/laser. Setenta e sete pacientes com o canino superior direito mais escuro que A3 foram selecionados para participar neste estudo cego randomizado. Os participantes foram distribuídos em quatro grupos: clareamento com 20% PH sem luz [20%]; 20% PH com LED/laser; 35% PH sem luz [35%] e 35% PH com LED/laser. As superfície vestibulares dos dentes anteriores foram clareadas, em duas sessões, usando os geis de PH a 20% e 35% com uma semana de intervalo. Em cada sessão, três aplicações de 15 minutos foram realizadas. Para os grupos com ativação de luz, a fonte de energia LED/laser (Whitening Laser Light Plus, DMC) foi empregada de acordo com as instruções do fabricante. A mudança de cor foi avaliada pela escala de cor visual Vitapan Classical e pelo espectrofotômetro VITA Easyshade (Vita Zahnfabrik) 1 semana e 1 mês após o clareamento. Os participantes registraram a SD numa escala verbal de 5 pontos e na escala de VAS, e identificaram o elemento dentário sensível. A mudança de cor foi analisada pelos testes de ANOVA e Tukey (α = 0,05). O risco absoluto de SD e a intensidade de SD foram avaliados pelos testes de Fisher e Kruskall Wallis, respectivamente (α = 0,05). Todos os grupos alcançaram o mesmo nível de clareamento, exceto o grupo 20%, que demonstrou menores valores de mudança de cor detectados pela avaliação subjetiva nos dois tempos de avaliação. O uso de luz não aumentou a intensidade nem o risco absoluto de SD durante e depois do clareamento para ambas as escalas. Os premolares foram os dentes menos sensíveis. Pode ser concluído que o uso da ativação a fonte de luz LED/laser foi capaz de aumentar o clareamento produzido pelo gel de PH a 20% sem incrementar a SD, mas essa associação não foi útil para o gel de PH a 35%.

Os participantes foram distribuídos em três grupos: clareamento com 1 aplicação de 15 minutos de PH 35%; clareamento com 2 aplicações de 15 minutos de PH 35% e clareamento com 3 aplicações de 15 minutos de PH 35%. As superfícies vestibulares dos dentes ântero-superiores foram clareadas, em duas sessões, com uma semana de intervalo. A mudança de cor foi avaliada pelo espectrofotômetro VITA Easyshade (Vita Zahnfabrik). Os pacientes registraram sua percepção de SD em uma escala 0-4. A mudança de cor foi analisada pelos testes de ANOVA e Tukey (α=0,05). O risco absoluto de SD e a intensidade de SD foram avaliados pelos testes de Fisher e ANOVA/Tukey, respectivamente (α= 0,05). A redução do número de aplicações do agente clareador (1x15 ou 2x15) significantemente diminuiu a eficácia do clareamento (p < 0,05). 83% e 94% dos pacientes dos grupos 2x15 e 3x15, respectivamente, demonstraram, mas apenas no grupo 3x15, a SD foi significantemente maior que o grupo 1x15 (p < 0,05). A intensidade de sensibilidade foi menor para o grupo 1x15 em comparação com os demais grupos (p < 0,05). A redução do número de aplicações para o clareamento em consultório diminuiu significativamente a SD, entretanto também diminuiu a eficácia do clareamento. Resultados intermediários em termos de eficácia de clareamento e de SD foram encontrados quando a técnica de 2 x 15-min de aplicação foi realizada em cada sessão clínica. / The aim of this clinical study was to compare the bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity (TS) of in-office bleaching applied under different times protocol. Fifty-three patients with right superior canine darker than A3 were selected to participate in this single-blind randomized trial. The participants were distributed in three groups: the bleaching agent was applied once (1x15) for 15 minutes or refreshed every 15 minutes for two (2x15) or three (3x15) times at each bleaching appointment. The buccal surfaces of the anterior teeth were bleached, in two sessions, using a 35% (Whiteness HP Maxx, FGM) with one-week interval. The color change was evaluated by using the VITA Easyshade Spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik). Participants recorded TS with a five-point verbal scale. Color change was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s tests (α=0.05). The absolute risk of TS and TS intensity evaluated by Fisher’s exact test and two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s tests, respectively (α= 0.05). The reduction of number of bleaching application (1x15 or 2x15) decreased the bleaching efficacy (p < 0.05). 83%, and 94% of patients from the 2x15 and 3x15 groups, respectively, experienced tooth sensitivity (p < 0.05), however, only 3x15 group was statistically significant higher than 1x15 (p < 0.05). The intensity of sensitivity was lower for the 1x15 in comparison to other groups (p < 0.05). The reducing the number of times the in-office bleaching gel to be applied significant decrease the TS, but also the bleaching efficacy. Intermediary results in terms of bleaching efficacy and TS was found when 2 x 15-min of application was performed in each clinical appointment.

A randomized, blinded , split-mouth was carried out in four groups (n = 16): Group LED ( GL), Group LED / low power infrared Laser ( GLL) , Group LED + infrared Laser therapy ( GLIV) and group LED + red Laser therapy ( GLVV) . Each volunteer had their upper and lower arches bleached with hydrogen peroxide to 35 % following the manufacturer's recommendations, however, with different treatments to sensitivity with an interval of 1 week between bleaching sessions and 15 days between treatments of the arcades. Tooth sensitivity was recorded in three scales: visual analog (VAS), a 5-point verbal rating scale (VRS), and the 101 points scale (NRS). The susceptibility sensitivity dates were collected during each session, immediately after the end of the sessions, up to 12 h , 24 h , 48 h , 1 month and 6 months. The color evaluation was performed before and after each treatment session and at 1 month and 6 months after bleaching with color scale (Vita Classical). Tooth sensitivity was compared between groups at each time with the Kruskal-Wallis test. The sensitivity in the same group in different periods were analyzed using the Friedman test and pair comparison with Wilcoxon. The intensity of sensitivity was similar for all groups at different times, with no statistical difference between them (p>0,05). The laser sources present in the hybrid LED / Laser was not able to prevent or reduce the dental sensitivity and not to improve the effectiveness of bleaching. The therapeutic lasers infrared and red applied after bleaching sessions also not able to prevent nor reduce tooth sensitivity caused by bleaching. All groups had their teeth whitened after 2 sessions and the color remained in assessments 1 month and 6 months. / Este estudo determinou o efeito do laser terapêutico vermelho e infravermelho, presente ou não nos equipamentos híbridos LED/Laser na ativação do gel e no controle da sensibilidade dentária, decorrente do clareamento dental realizado em consultório, ativados por luz LED. Um ensaio clínico andomizado, cego, de boca dividida foi realizado em quatro grupos (n=16): Grupo LED (GL), Grupo LED/Laser infravermelho de baixa intensidade (GLL), Grupo LED + Laser terapêutico infravermelho (GLIV) e Grupo LED + Laser terapêutico vermelho (GLVV). Cada voluntário teve suas arcadas superior e inferior clareadas com peróxido de hidrogênio 35% seguindo as recomendações do fabricante, porém, com diferentes tratamentos para sensibilidade com intervalo de 1 semana entre as sessões de clareamento e de 15 dias entre os tratamentos das arcadas. A sensibilidade dentária foi registrada em três escalas: a analógica visual (VAS), a escala verbal de 5 pontos (VRS), e a escala de 101 pontos (NRS). Os dados de sensibilidade foram coletados durante cada sessão, imediatamente após o término das sessões, até 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 1 mês e 6 meses. A avaliação de cor foi realizada antes e após cada sessão de tratamento e com 1 mês e 6 meses após o clareamento com escala de cor (Vita Clássica). A sensibilidade dentária foi comparada entre os grupos em cada momento com o teste de Kruskal-Wallis. A sensibilidade em um mesmo grupo nos diferentes períodos foram analisadas com os testes de Friedman e comparação aos pares com Wilcoxon. A intensidade da sensibilidade foi semelhante para todos os grupos estudados nos diferentes momentos, não havendo diferença estatística entre eles (p>0,05). O Laser presente nas fontes híbridas de LED/Laser não foi capaz de evitar e nem reduzir a sensibilidade dos dentes e também não melhorou a efetividade do clareamento. Os Lasers terapêuticos infravermelho e vermelho aplicados após sessões de claremento dental, também não foram capazes de evitar e nem reduzir a sensibilidade dental provocada pelo clareamento. Todos os grupos tiveram seus dentes clareados após 2 sessões e a cor manteve-se nas avaliações de 1 mês e 6 meses.
