Effect of Experimental Bleaching Gels With Enzymes on Composite and Enamel
Notably, the gel containing papain and nanostructured SiO<sub>2</sub> proved to be the most effective in removing coffee stains from both composite surfaces and enamel. On the other hand, the gel with bromelain and nanostructured SiO<sub>2</sub> was the most efficient in removing natural juice stains. The absence of SiO<sub>2</sub> in the experimental gels slightly decreased the enzymes' effectiveness in stain removal. The antibacterial activity observed in the experimental gels is attributed solely to the enzymatic compounds.
