Effect of innovative double layer treatment on tooth color change and nitrate penetration

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
