Resumo
Background: This study evaluated the color change, enamel surface roughness and microhardness after different tooth bleaching protocols, using hydrogen peroxide (HP) and/or violet LED. Methods: Forty bovine specimens (7 × 7 × 2 mm) were randomly distributed into 4 groups: 35% HP, 6% HP, 6% HP + violet LED and violet LED alone. First, the specimens were stained with black tea and then submitted to two bleaching sessions of 30 min with an interval of 7 days. Color change (∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b* and ∆E00) after 24 h of each session and 1 week after the last session was evaluated. Enamel roughness and microhardness were evaluated immediately before the sessions, 24 h and 1 week after the last session. Data were evaluated by ANOVA for repeated measures and Bonferroni post-test or Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests (α = 0.05). Representative specimens from each group were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Results: 6% HP + violet LED and 35% HP showed the highest color change, while violet LED alone had the lowest results. Enamel roughness analyses showed that 6% HP + violet LED and 35% HP showed changes after two bleaching sessions. No differences were observed regarding enamel microhardness. Conclusions: The use of 6% HP + violet LED showed enhanced bleaching efficacy compared to 35% HP. However, violet LED used alone exhibited the lowest color change. 6% HP + violet LED and 35% HP promoted changes on enamel roughness, while no microhardness changes was observed for any group.
