Effect of 10% Sodium Ascorbate and 10% ?-tocopherol in Different Formulations on the Shear Bond Strength of Enamel and Dentin Submitted to a Home-use Bleaching Treatment

Abstract

Clinical Relevance A significant reduction in bond strength of restorative materials to dentin and enamel after home-use bleaching treatment has been reported. Antioxidizing agents may be a procedure to increase bond strength values. Although no reversal of bond strength values was found for sodium ascorbate, alpha-tocopherol formulated in solution resulted in a significant increase in bond strength of bleached enamel.
