Abstract

Introduction:

Teeth whitening procedures are performed by most dental professionals to overcome tooth discolouration. Increase in surface roughness of the enamel post bleachingreverses the aesthetic appearance of the tooth. Some classic reasons for the above are beverages, tobacco and smoking. During this covid-19 pandemic, herbal drinks with medicinal values have been recommended by the government. Two most widely accepted among them in Tamilnadu are Nilavembukashayam and Kabasurakudineer. These are consumed by most of the people regularly in the battle against this covid-19 virus. These herbal concoctions can also have staining effects on bleached teeth. The study aimed at evaluating the effect of Nilavembukashayam and Kabasurakudineer on the stability of colouron bleached teeth.

Materials and Method:

35% hydrogen peroxide are used to bleach 30 human central incisors (SDI, Pola in-office kit central incisors (SDI) were separated into three groups. Groups 1 and 2 were immersed in Kabasurakudineer, while Group 3 was submerged in distilled water (control). Colourvariation (e) was calculated using Kabasura kudineerthe CIE-Lab system using the values (l*), (a*), and (b*). The samples were then submerged for 8 minutes, every 24 hours, for three days, in Kabasurakudineer and Nilavembukashayam. After immersion, all of the samples' spectrophotometric readings (l*, a*, and b*) were recorded. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA and the Tukey Post Hoc test were utilised (p-value 0.01).

Result:

The groups that were immersed in test samples showed differences in colour. Groups 1 and 3 were followed by Group 2 in terms of colour variety. The average colour variation difference between group 2 and Group 1 was 3.91.

Conclusion:

Within the limitations of the current study, it was found that Nilavembu kashayamhas more potential to cause discolouration in bleached teeth followed byKabasurakudineer.
