The effect of Hydrogen Peroxide treatments on dental enamel porosity and protein structure and its long-term implications on tooth hardness and optical properties
Our findings showed that HP induced denaturation of enamel proteins, resulting in increased enamel porosity and reduced microhardness. These changes in enamel properties could help explain clinical complications observed with these treatments such as increased sensitivity.
