agent on bleached enamel surface. Sixty freshly extracted maxillary incisors were selected. Each tooth was transversally
sectioned positioned in a plastic mold and embedded using a self cure acrylic resin. The enamel surfaces were ground into
flat surface using silicon carbide paper. GROUP A (n=20) stored in artificial saliva as control group. GROUP B (n=20)
Bleaching with 35% Hydrogen peroxide gel and combinations of with 35% hydrogen peroxide gel and clinpro tooth cream,
reminpro tooth cream and GC Tooth Mousse Plus and stored in artificial saliva and grouped as B1,B2,B3,B4 respectively.
GROUP C ( n=20) Bleaching with 40% Hydrogen peroxide gel and combinations of with 35% hydrogen peroxide gel and
clinpro tooth cream, reminpro tooth cream and GC Tooth Mousse Plus and stored in artificial saliva and grouped as
C1,C2,C3,C4 respectively. Following bleaching the remineralizing agents were applied and stored in artificial saliva and
the application was repeated in 7,14& 21 days interval. The samples were tested for micro hardness and surface
morphological changes were examined by the amount of porosities present in the SEM images. The results were tabulated
and analyzed by Two way ANOVA and Tuckey`s B Post Hoc Test of Bonferroni and also by Independent t test after
verifying the normality assumption by Q-Q Plot technique. The results show that group C1 bleached with 40% hydrogen
peroxide was significantly differing and was least when comparing with other groups. It was concluded that there is
significant differences observed in different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and different remineralizing agents used
and Group C1 bleached with 40% hydrogen peroxide showed the least mean value when comparing with other groups.</Abstract><Email>drranjuraghu@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>7</volume><issue>1</issue><year>2017</year><keyword>Hydrogen peroxide,Microhardness,Tooth Bleaching</keyword><AUTHORS>Satheesh Kumar S,Ranju Raghu,Kamaleshwaran V</AUTHORS><afflication>Department of Endodontics, Vinayaka Mission Sankarachariyar Dental College, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India.,Department of Endodontics, Vinayaka Mission Sankarachariyar Dental College, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India.,Department of Endodontics, Vinayaka Mission Sankarachariyar Dental College, Salem, Tamil Nadu, India.</afflication></Article></Articles>
