description ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate how hydrogen peroxide (HP) treatments affect enamel porosity and protein structure, as well as their impact on tooth shade and hardness over time. MethodsFifty healthy teeth were collected from adult patients. Teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups, the first was incubated with 30 % HP while the second, the control group, was incubated with distilled water (DW). Tooth shade and enamel microhardness were evaluated using a digital spectrophotometer and a Vickers tester, respectively, at different time intervals after treatment. The specific surface area of the enamel was measured using a surface area analyzer and the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) equation. Protein structure was analyzed using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). ResultsShade analysis revealed that, in the short term, HP treatment significantly increased lightness and Hue and decreased chroma compared to DW (p < 0.05); however, 1 week after treatment some of the initial gains in tooth lightness were partially lost. Hardness analysis revealed significant decreases in microhardness in the bleached group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). BET analysis revealed that HP treatment increased enamel surface area and reduced its average pore size. CD and DLS analyses showed that proteins from HP-treated teeth mostly adopted a non-random conformation and had smaller average protein sizes compared to the control. ConclusionHP treatment lightened tooth shade and significantly reduced enamel microhardness over time. This could be related to changes in surface area and porosity caused by denaturalization of the enamel proteins. Clinical significanceOur findings showed that HP induced denaturation of enamel proteins, resulting in increased enamel porosity and reduced microhardness. These changes in enamel properties could help explain clinical complications observed with these treatments such as increased sensitivity.
