Abstract

he influence of strawberries as bleaching alternative material toward surface
microhardness of the teeth is still unknown so that a research should be conducted to
quantitatively assess the effects of bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide and
blended strawberry paste on post-extracted incisive teeth by performing superficial
microhardness analysis. Three groups of sample i.e. group 1 (control): post-extracted
incisive teeth soaked in ordinary mineral water, group 2: soaked in carbamide
peroxide 10% gel, and group 3: soaked in 100% strawberry paste. The microhardess
of each sample group is tested before and after the application of bleaching materials.
The result was there was significant difference of strawberry paste compared to CP
10% gel and mineral water soaked incisive teeth. The data obtained are tabulated,
then analyzed with one way Anova and LSD. It can be concluded that the application
of carbamide peroxide 10% gel in 6 weeks doesn’t decrease the microhardness of
teeth enamel surface. However, the application of strawberry paste decreases the
microhardness of enamel surface.
