BACKGROUND

If composite resin restoration is required following external bleaching treatment, a waiting period of between 1 and 3 weeks is needed to avoid restoration failure. However, patients usually need faster treatment.

AIM

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles as an antioxidant material on the shear bond strength (SBS) of composite resin restorations to enamel after external bleaching.

METHODS

Thirty premolars were used in this study and randomly assigned into four groups of six samples, Group 1, no bleaching – no antioxidant, Group 2, bleaching – composite restoration, Group 3, bleaching – waiting 2 weeks – composite restoration, Group 4, bleaching – sodium ascorbate – composite restoration, Group 5, bleaching – chitosan nanoparticles – composite restoration. The SBS was tested with a universal testing machine. One-way analysis of variance and the Turkey’s test were used for statistical data analysis (p < 0.05).

RESULTS

The group that applied chitosan nanoparticles to the teeth previously bleached and then restored with composite resin resulted in similar SBS as the other groups (p > 0.05), except for the group that was bleached and directly restored with composite resin (p = 0.000).

CONCLUSION

The chitosan nanoparticle has the potential as an antioxidant material since it produces similar SBS to composite resin restorations on enamel after external bleaching than the other groups.
