Comparative Evaluation of Enamel Mineral Content after Bleaching by in-Office, at-Home and Combined Techniques- Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis
Dr. Hana Hameed, Dr. Praveena Geetha, Dr. Radhakrishnan Nair
Abstract: This study compares the enamel mineral content after bleaching using In-Office, At-Home and Combined Techniques, utilizing a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX). Fifty-six human premolar teeth were divided into four groups, each subjected to different bleaching techniques. Results indicated that In-Office bleaching led to the most significant loss of calcium and phosphorus, while At-Home and Combined techniques showed less mineral reduction. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences in mineral content across the groups.
Keywords: Combined Bleaching Technique, 25% hydrogen peroxide, 10% carbamide peroxide, SEM-EDX, enamel mineral content
