Abstract :
The presence of an un-aesthetic discolored tooth is of great concern to patients, which is caused by intrinsic and extrinsic factors and can be treated by bleaching, enamel microabrasion, porcelain veneers, crowns. The application of antioxidant agents after bleaching has been recommended as a way to reduce the waiting period between bleaching and restorative procedure by eliminating the reactive oxygen from the dental substrate. In our study, we found a significant improvement in the bond strength of composite to bleached enamel with the application of antioxidant agents.
