METHODS: The stability of the solution at room temperature was assessed at various time intervals. Fifty teeth were randomly divided into five groups: non-bleached (G1), bleached then acid etched (G2), bleached followed by a 10-minute treatment with 10% sodium ascorbate and acid etched (G3), 5-minute treatment with 50% ascorbic acid (G4), and 5-minute treatment with a combination of 50% ascorbic acid and 50% citric acid (G5). Groups G2, G3, G4 and G5 were bleached by 35% HP gel for a total of 32 min. Acid etching in groups G1, G2, and G3 was performed using 37% phosphoric acid (Ormco®, Orange, CA, USA) for 15 s. In all groups, metal brackets were immediately bonded using Transbond™ XT primer and Transbond™ PLUS adhesive, with light curing for 40 s. The SBS was tested with a universal testing machine, and statistical analysis was conducted using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey\'s HSD test. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05 for all statistical tests.
RESULTS: Stability tests demonstrated that the combined acids remained effective for up to 21 days. Group G5 significantly increased the SBS of bleached teeth to the level of G1 (p < 0.05), while G3 did not achieve the same increase in SBS (p > 0.05). SEM analysis revealed enamel etching patterns similar to those of both control groups (G1 and G2). Kinetic studies at 6 min indicated that the antioxidation in G5 reacted 0.2 mmole lower than in G3 and G4.
CONCLUSIONS: 5-minute application of the combined acids enhanced the SBS of bleached teeth comparable to unbleached teeth. The combined acids remain stable over two weeks, presenting a time-efficient, single-step solution for antioxidant application and enamel etching in orthodontic bracket bonding.
方法:以各种时间间隔评估溶液在室温下的稳定性。将50颗牙齿随机分为五组:非漂白(G1),漂白,然后酸蚀(G2),漂白,然后用10%抗坏血酸钠和酸蚀(G3)处理10分钟,用50%抗坏血酸(G4)处理5分钟,和用50%抗坏血酸和50%柠檬酸(G5)的组合处理5分钟。组G2、G3、G4和G5用35%HP凝胶漂白总共32分钟。使用37%磷酸(Ormco®,橙色,CA,美国)15秒。在所有组中,立即使用Transbond™XT底漆和Transbond™PLUS粘合剂粘合金属支架,光固化40秒。SBS用万能试验机进行了测试,采用单因素方差分析和Tukey'sHSD检验进行统计学分析。所有统计检验的显著性水平设定为p<0.05。
结果:稳定性测试表明组合的酸保持有效长达21天。G5组显著提高漂白牙齿的SBS至G1水平(p<0.05),而G3的SBS没有达到相同的增加(p>0.05)。SEM分析显示牙釉质蚀刻图案与两个对照组(G1和G2)相似。6分钟时的动力学研究表明,G5中的抗氧化反应比G3和G4中的抗氧化反应低0.2mmol。
结论:与未漂白的牙齿相比,联合酸的5分钟应用可增强漂白牙齿的SBS。合并的酸在两周内保持稳定,提出了一个省时的,在正畸托槽粘接中应用抗氧化剂和牙釉质蚀刻的单步解决方案。
