RESUMO
Objetivo: avaliar clinicamente o efeito de um agente dessensibilizante utilizado previamente. ià aplicação de um gel de peróxido de hidrogênio 3S% (PH3S) na eficiência do clareamento (EC) ."e sensibilidade dental (50). Material e Métodos: Foram selecionados 30 pacientes divididos em grupo placebo (GP; n=lS) e grupo experimental (GE; n=lS). Um gel placebo ou dessensibilizante (Oesensibilize KF 2%) foi aplicado sobre as superfícies vestibulares dos dentes durante 10 minantes do clareamento com PH3S (Whiteness HP Blue 3S%). Este protocolo foi repetido na l' . e 2' sessões. Os pacientes utilizaram uma escala de O a 4 para anotarem a sensibilidade. A corfoi registrada no início e após a l' e 2' sessões de clareamento usando a escala Vita ordenada por valor. A EC foi analisada estatisticamente pelos testes de análise de variância e de Tukey. A porcentagem de pacientes com 50, assim como a intensidade foram avaliados pelos testes exato de Fisher e Mann-Whitney (a=O,OS), respectivamente. Resultados: O uso de um agente dessensibilizante não afetou a EC (cor B1/A 1 após duas semanas para 90% dos pacientes). 40% e 6,7% dos participantes do GP e GE, respectivamente apresentaram 50 (p < O,OS). A intensidade da 50 foi similar para os grupos (p > O,OS). Conclusão: O uso de um agente dessensibilizante antes do clareamento de consultório reduziu a prevalência de 50.
Objective: To evaluate the bleaching efficiency (BE) and tooth sensitivity (T5) of a desen¬sitizing agent used before in-office bleaching with 3S% hydrogen peroxide gel. Methods: We selected 30 patients for this study, which were divided into placebo and experimental groups. A placebo or desensitizing gel (Oesensibilize KF 2%) was applied on the buccal surfaces of ali teeth for 10 min (n = lS). This protocol was repeated one week later. Patients used a scale of O to 4 to write down their tooth sensitivity. The color was registered before and after the 1 st and 2nd sessions of bleaching using a value-oriented Vita Classical scale. The BE was analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey tests. The % of patients with T5 as well as T5 intensity was analyzed by the Fisher's exact and Mann-Whitney tests (a=O.OS). Results: The use of a desensitizing gel didn 't affect the BE (B 1 /A 1 color after two weeks for 90% of patients). 40% and 6.7% of the participants from the placebo and experimental groups presented T5 (p

The habit of cigarette smoking is associated with higher oral candidal carriage and possible predisposition to oral candidosis. The effects of exposure to smoke on the virulence properties of oral yeasts remain obscure. Hence, we showed in vitro the effect of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) on ten clinical isolates of Candida albicans obtained from nonsmoking volunteers, as well the type-strain CBS562. CSC was generated by complete burn of five commercial cigarettes in an in-house smoking machine and used to prepare the culture broth in which the strains were grown. In 24-h intervals (T(24), T(48), and T(72)), the cells were harvested, washed, subcultured, and the resultant growth were evaluated for possible variations for secreted aspartyl protease, phospholipase, chondroitinase, and hemolysins, adhesion to acrylic and cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH). The results indicated a temporal increase in the secretion rates of enzymes, particularly when yeast cells were exposed to CSC for 48-72 h (P < 0.05). Similarly, adhesion to acrylic and CSH increased with exposure period (P < 0.05). Based on foregoing, we concluded that CSC may promote significant enhance in the secretion of candidal histolytic enzymes and adherence to denture surfaces, thereby promoting oral yeast carriage and possible infection.
