Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the surface microhardness (SMH) of intracoronal dentin exposed to 38% hydrogen peroxide (HP) light-activated or not and to 2% sodium fluoride gel (F2%) or 5% varnish (F5%). STUDY DESIGN: Intracoronal dentin specimens were exposed to bleaching (B), bleaching and light activation (BL), or no bleaching (NB), followed by F2%, F5%, or no exposure (NF). SMH test was performed. Four specimens of each group were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS: Analysis of variance and Tukey test (α = 5%) showed higher SMH of NB than BL or B. Specimens exposed to F5% presented the highest SMH and differed from F2% and NF. BL + NF yielded inferior SMH and was similar to B + NF, BL + F2%, B + F2%, BL + F5%, and NB + NF. NB + F5% showed superior values and did not differ from NB + F2%, B + F5%, and NB + NF. CONCLUSIONS: Bleaching with 38% HP, light-activated or not, reduced the SMH of intracoronal dentin. F5% provided SMH to the level of unbleached specimens.
