Aim: To develop a bi-functional material which hiboost 4k smart link can occlude dentinal tubules in-depth and remineralize dentin for long-lasting protection of the dentin–pulp complex from stimuli and bleach the tooth at the same time.Methods: A mixture containing CaO, H3PO4, polyethylene glycol and H2O2 at a specific ratio was mechanically ground using a planetary ball.The mineralizing complex paste was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Dentin was exposed to the synthesized paste for 8 h and 24 h in vitro.The mineralizing property was evaluated using SEM and microhardness tests.
Red tea-stained tooth slices were exposed to the synthesized paste for 8 h and 24 h in vitro.The bleaching effect was characterized by a spectrophotometer.Results: The complex paste had very a fine texture, was injectable, and had a gel-like property with 2.6 (mass/volume) % H2O2 concentration.The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the inorganic phase was mainly monetite (CaHPO4).
The mineralizing complex paste gtech brush bar induced the growth of inorganic crystals on the dentin surface and in-depth occlusion of dentin tubules by up to 80 μm.The regenerated crystals were integrated into the dentin tissue on the dentin surface and the wall of dentinal tubules with a microhardness of up to 126 MPa (versus 137 Mpa for dentin).The paste also bleached the stained dental slices.Conclusion: The mineralizing complex paste is a promising innovative material for efficient DH management by remineralizing dentin and in-depth occlusion of dentin tubules, as well as tooth bleaching.Keywords: dentin hypersensitivity, remineralization, tooth whitening, planetary ball mill.
