Whitening Efficacy Of Activated Charcoal-Based Dentifrices Related To The Mode Of Action And Adverse Effects On The Tooth Surface, Douglas Silva
Whitening Efficacy Of Activated Charcoal-Based Dentifrices Related To The Mode Of Action And Adverse Effects On The Tooth Surface, Douglas Silva
Annual Research Symposium
To evaluate if tooth color alteration of activated charcoal-based dentifrices may be attributed to the dye adsorption potential of charcoal (chemical action - C - slurry only) or to the association of dye adsorption with abrasion (chemo-mechanical action - CM- slurry/toothbrushing). Potential adverse effects in surface roughness, gloss, and wear were also assessed.
