The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of 10% sodium ascorbate on bleached bovine enamel morphology and microhardness considering the possibility of its effect on enamel surface characteristics. A total of 69 bovine enamel slabs were prepared and mounted in acrylic resin. Subsequent to polishing, they were randomly divided into 3 groups of 23 specimens each; 3 for Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and 20 for hardness test. In group 1 the specimens were immersed in distilled water as control group; in group 2 the specimens were bleached with 35% carbamide peroxide for 30 min a week for 3 consecutive weeks; and in group 3 the specimens were exposed to 10% sodium ascorbate for 30 min subsequent to bleaching similar to group 1. After 3 weeks Vickers hardness of the specimens was measured at 3 points with equal distances from each other under a force of 50 g. The mean of the hardness values of each specimen was calculated and data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA (P < 0.05). The highest and lowest microhardness values were observed in group 1 and group 2, respectively. However, there were no statistically significant differences in microhardness between the groups (P = 0.12). The use of 35% carbamide peroxide alone or with 10% sodium ascorbate does not affect bovine enamel hardness. SEM analysis showed a network of sodium ascorbate adsorbed to the bleached enamel surface. 10 21 2010 207 210 TODENTJ-4-207 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2009-12-29 2010-6-22 2010-7-19 2010-10-21 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601004010207 1553505210 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/4/PAGE/207/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V4/TODENTJ-4-207/TODENTJ-4-207.xml Am J Dent de Freitas PM 17 342 2004 de Freitas PM, Turssi CP, Hara AT, Serra MC.
