OBJECTIVE This study evaluated possible differences regarding the remineralization of predemineralized enamel after exposure to fluoridated or non-fluoridated bleaching gels. METHODS 120 enamel specimens were prepared from sixty bovine incisors; before and after demineralization (37 degrees C; pH 4.95; 10d), one-quarter of each specimen's surface was covered with nail varnish (control sound/demineralized). Subsequently, the specimens were stored for 16h daily in a remineralizing solution (pH 7.0; 14d), while for the remaining time (8h) various bleaching gels were applied: (1) no treatment (control), (2) Opalescence regular (O, Ultradent), (3) Opalescence PF (O-PF), (4) Nite White ACP (NW-ACP, Discus Dental) and (5) Nite White ACPF (NW-ACPF). Following, half of the bleached parts were nail-varnished and stored for another 3-weeks period in a remineralizing solution. Differences in mineral losses (DeltaDeltaZ) and lesion depths (DeltaLD) before and after treatment/remineralization period were evaluated from microradiographs. DeltaDeltaZ(surface) values (mineral loss of the outer 18microm of the lesion) were calculated. RESULTS After 2 and 5 weeks DeltaDeltaZ/DeltaLD values of the bleaching groups did not differ significantly from the controls. Treatment with NW-ACPF for 2 weeks resulted in significantly lower DeltaDeltaZ values compared to NW-ACP (p=0.032) and NW-ACPF in higher values than Opalescence regular (p=0.006). Two weeks treatment with O and O-PF resulted in decreased DeltaDeltaZ(surface) values compared to control (p<0.0005), whereas with NW-ACPF no significant differences could be observed (p=0.062). Application of NW-ACP induced significantly increased DeltaDeltaZ(surface) values compared to control (p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS No supporting influence of fluoride-containing bleaching gels on remineralization could be observed.

D008852 Microradiography Production of a radiographic image of a small or very thin object on fine-grained photographic film under conditions which permit subsequent microscopic examination or enlargement of the radiograph at linear magnifications of up to several hundred and with a resolution approaching the resolving power of the photographic emulsion (about 1000 lines per millimeter). Microradiographies
D008903 Minerals Native, inorganic or fossilized organic substances having a definite chemical composition and formed by inorganic reactions. They may occur as individual crystals or may be disseminated in some other mineral or rock. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Mineral
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D011897 Random Allocation A process involving chance used in therapeutic trials or other research endeavor for allocating experimental subjects, human or animal, between treatment and control groups, or among treatment groups. It may also apply to experiments on inanimate objects. Randomization,Allocation, Random

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
