Antioxidants And Their Effects On Shear Bond Strength Of Bleached Enamel-A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Nowadays, tooth discolouration has become a major issue. Bleaching is the greatest solution for this issue since it significantly improves the appearance of the teeth while requiring little disruption to dental structures. Nevertheless, the morphology and mineral composition of enamel are altered by these chemical agents, which has a significant impact on the orthodontic brackets' ability to bond to enamel. Thus, by preventing the oxygen radical that the bleaching methods produce, anti-oxidants have recently been developed to increase the lost bond strength of bleached enamel.
