Objective: To evaluate <strong>the</strong> effects <strong>of</strong> pre and post-bleaching<br />

agents as NaOCl and ACP-CPP on <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> enamel<br />

surface.<br />

Material and methods: Six human premolars were buccallingual<br />

and mesio-distal sectioned and <strong>the</strong>n subjected to <strong>the</strong><br />

following experimental conditions (n = 24): G1: 35% H2O2 (Pola<br />

Office, Australia, SDI) – 4 sessions <strong>of</strong> 8 min; G2: 5.25% NaOCl<br />

during 1 min previously to <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> 35% H2O2 and<br />

G3: similar to G1 + ACP-CPP (MI-Paste, Japão, GC America), during<br />

5 min daily repeated during 7 days. The samples were<br />

covered with platinum to be evaluated with Scanning Electron<br />

Microscopy (Stereoscan 440, LEO) and with High Vacuum<br />

Field Emission Microscopy (Quanta 600 FEG, FEI). The images<br />

were obtained using secondary electrons detector (Everhart-<br />

Thornley), with a work distance <strong>of</strong> 10 mm, and a high voltage<br />

<strong>of</strong> 10 kV, probe <strong>of</strong> 500 A with magnifications from 3000 through<br />

100,000.<br />

Results: In group G1, erosions on enamel prisms were<br />

noticed. In G2, <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NaOCl previously to<br />

<strong>the</strong> bleaching generated a smoo<strong>the</strong>r surface. There was a<br />

covering mantle in G3 around <strong>the</strong> enamel prisms and lower<br />

spaces among <strong>the</strong> hydroxyapatite crystals. The use <strong>of</strong> NaOCl<br />

associated to <strong>the</strong> bleaching with hydrogen peroxide modifies<br />

<strong>the</strong> enamel morphology.<br />

Conclusion: The application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ACP-CPP post-bleaching<br />

agent recovers <strong>the</strong> enamel surface when applied during a<br />

week after in-<strong>of</strong>fice bleaching sessions.<br />

Objectives: A light-curing resin-modified calcium-silicate<br />

cement was designed to obtain a bioactive calciumreleasing<br />

remineralizing material (Ic-MTA) for rehabilitation<br />

<strong>of</strong> deciduous teeth and remineralization <strong>of</strong> dentine<br />

lesions.<br />

<strong>Materials</strong> and methods: Ic-MTA was prepared by mixing<br />

a tailored calcium-silicate bioactive filler with an anphiphilic<br />

HEMA/TEGDMA-based resin. Calcium release and alkalinizing<br />

activity (i.e. pH <strong>of</strong> soaking water) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cement<br />

were tested. The dentine remineralization capability and <strong>the</strong><br />

bioactivity (i.e. apatite-forming ability) were investigated by<br />

ATR-FTIR and ESEM/EDX analyses after immersion in DPBS<br />

at 37 ◦ C for 7 days. Dentine disks 0.8 ± 0.2 mm thick were<br />

obtained from coronal side <strong>of</strong> healthy third molars and<br />

demineralized in 15 mL <strong>of</strong> sterile 17% EDTA for 2 h. EDX<br />

element distribution maps confirmed <strong>the</strong> complete absence<br />

<strong>of</strong> apatite on dentine disks from <strong>the</strong> surface to a 10 �m<br />

depth.<br />

Results: The experimental material releases calcium<br />

(200 ppm at 3 h), increases <strong>the</strong> environmental pH to 10–11 and<br />

showed marked bioactivity. After 7 days a thick layer <strong>of</strong> carbonated<br />

apatite (Ap) was noticed on dentine surface. Apatite<br />

precipitates obturated <strong>the</strong> dentinal tubules.<br />

Conclusions: Calcium-silicate materials are bioactive.<br />

Silanol groups from <strong>the</strong> mineral particles induce heterogeneous<br />

nucleation <strong>of</strong> apatite by sorption <strong>of</strong> calcium and<br />

phosphate ions. The improved bioactivity <strong>of</strong> Ic-MTA is related<br />

to <strong>the</strong> oxygen-containing groups from HEMA/TEGDMA, which<br />

provide additional apatite nucleating sites through <strong>the</strong><br />

formation <strong>of</strong> calcium chelates. An improved biomimetic remineralization<br />

<strong>of</strong> dentine and a faster bioactive behaviour<br />

was proved by <strong>the</strong> novel light-curing calcium-silicate material.<br />

The coupling <strong>of</strong> a hydraulic calcium-silicate powder<br />

with a HEMA-TEGDMA hydrophilic resin creates conditions<br />

(enhanced calcium release and functional groups able to<br />

chelate Ca ions, with a consequent rapid apatite deposition)
