Toz Püskürtme ve Polisaj Lastiği Profilaksisinin Diş Beyazlatma Üzerindeki Etkileri: Randomize Kontrollü Bölünmüş Ağız Klinik Çalışması, 26 - 28 Nisan 2021, ss.316-317
Purpose: The aim of the study to compare the effects of pre-operative air-powder polishing and
rubber-cup prophylaxis on tooth bleaching. Materials and Methods: 23 subjects suffering from
discoloration, were enrolled in a randomized controlled split mouth experimental study. Before
bleaching, air powder polishing (APP) or rubber-cup polishing (RCP) techniques were applied on
either side of the mouth. A 40% hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent applied two 15-minute
applications for in-office bleaching. The tooth bleaching effects assessed immediately after and 1
week. Results: There were no significant differences between prophylaxis groups with respect to
all color parameters (Δ L, Δa, Δb, ΔSGU, Δ E00) at immediate period (p>0,05). The Δ E00 value
was statistically significant at 1 week assessment period between prophylaxis groups (p<0,05).
Conclusion: Immediately after the bleaching treatment two prophylaxis techniques produced similar
efficacy. One week after the bleaching treatment the APP technique produced higher levels of color
changes.
