Impact of Whitening Toothpastes on Composite Resin Surfaces: In Vitro Study

Posted: January 23, 2025
In an in vitro study, the surface roughness of nanoparticle composite resins was evaluated after simulated brushing with different whitening toothpastes. Results showed a significant increase in surface roughness for all resins, emphasizing the impact of dentifrices on composite restorations. While no differences were found among resin types, significant variations in abrasive effects were observed among toothpastes. This highlights the importance for dental professionals to consider the abrasive potential of whitening toothpastes when recommending oral care products to patients, urging further research for establishing safety criteria and efficacy.
