Evaluation of the variation of intrapulpal temperature after the use of bleaching agents and activation by light sources
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction and objective: To evaluate in vitro the degree of warming promoted within the pulp chamber, after the use of bleaching agents, with or without activation by light sources. Material and methods: Sixty bovine teeth were used, which had received access to the root canal by the side lingual, with the wall vestibular standardized at 2 mm. The specimens were divided into 6 groups (n = 10), according to the bleaching agent and the source of activation used: G1 – absence of bleaching agent and application of halogen light; G2 – absence of bleaching agent and application of LED; G3 – application of the Whiteness HP Maxx (35% hydrogen peroxide) and activation with halogen light; G4 – application of Whiteness HP Maxx (35% hydrogen peroxide) and activation with LED; G5 – application of the Opalescence Xtra Boost (38% hydrogen peroxide) and activation with photopolymerizer; G6 – application of the Opalescence Xtra Boost (38% hydrogen peroxide) and activation with LED. The change of temperature in the pulp chamber was measured using a Termopar apparatus. Results: The values of temperature were measured by the device during an interval of 10 minutes, with some selected intervals: t1 – initial temperature; t2 – after 25 seconds of application of the gel and 20 seconds of activation; t3 – after 10 minutes. The values were registered by the machine in the software and the data were subjected to statistical analysis using the Anova test. Conclusion: There were no statistically significant differences between groups with and without activation or between different bleaching.
