RESUMO

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bleaching efficacy of high concentration bleaching agents activated by chemical or physical catalysts. For this, this study was divided in two parts: Experiment 1- evaluated the efficacy of tooth whitening after treatment with 35 % hydrogen peroxide (Whiteness HP Maxx) activated by different light-curing units: Halogen lamp (Conventional and Bleach mode) (Optilux 501C, Demetron/Kerr), LED 1st generation (Ultrablue IV, DMC), LED/ diode laser (Ultrablue IV, DMC), LED 2nd generation (Bluephase 16i, Ivoclar Vivadent) , and no light source (control group); Experiment 2- analysis of chemical and physical catalysts: G1- 35 % hydrogen peroxide (Whiteness HP Maxx) + 20 % sodium hydroxide; G2- 35 % hydrogen peroxide + 7 % sodium bicarbonate; G3- 38 % hydrogen peroxide (Opalescence Xtra Boost); G4: 35 % hydrogen peroxide + Halogen lamp; G5: 35 % hydrogen peroxide + 20 % sodium hydroxide + halogen lamp; G6: 35 % hydrogen peroxide + 7 % sodium bicarbonate + halogen lamp; G7: 38 % hydrogen peroxide + halogen lamp and G8: 35 % hydrogen peroxide. Blocks obtained from human molars were randomly divided into groups (n=5) in accordance with bleaching treatments. The efficacy of bleaching was measured using a spectrophotometer. Three bleaching sessions were performed (sessions 1 to 3). The results were submitted to ANOVA followed by the Tukey test (p<0.05). For both experiments, activated vs. non-activated bleaching did not differ significantly for all the times tested. In conclusion, the activating systems did not improve the whitening effectiveness.
