Carbamide peroxide for teeth whitening

Based on studies conducted by independent organizations, among whitening pastes, “ROCS PRO - Oxygen Whitening” demonstrates the greatest effectiveness. The composition contains carbamide peroxide - a substance that affects the deep layers of hard tooth tissue, discoloring pigments; The use of toothpaste allows you to achieve lightening by 2-3 shades in 30 days of regular use. The composition is safe: does not contain fluorides, parabens, artificial colors, sodium lauryl sulfate.

This is an active complex created on the basis of oxygen and urea. The last component is responsible for the permeability of the enamel and promotes deep penetration of oxygen into the hard tissue of the tooth. Radicals of oxygen compounds lighten the enamel during the cleaning process; Urea decomposes into components: carbon dioxide, urea (alkaline medium), ammonia. Carbamide peroxide, upon contact with water, enters into a chemical reaction, as a result of which oxygen is released and decomposition products are formed. A ten percent urea-based gel is converted into a 3.5 percent peroxide solution.

Cons: thinning of enamel, increased sensitivity of hard tissues.

What you should know about carbamide peroxide pastes

• It is recommended to use such pastes after professional teeth cleaning at the dentist. Not all dental plaque can be removed with a toothbrush. The remaining plaque and tartar will not allow the paste to evenly lighten the enamel, and there is a risk of stained teeth.
• It should be borne in mind that the active substance will not be able to whiten fillings, metal-ceramic and ceramic crowns. Only natural enamel is subjected to lightening. As a result, previously invisible fillings may appear, and beautiful crowns will appear dark against the background of lighter adjacent teeth.
• After completing a whitening course using products containing carbamide peroxide, it is recommended to switch to pastes containing calcium for a couple of months. And only after that use fluoride-containing pastes. This approach will strengthen weakened enamel.

Is fluoride normal?

Fluorine is a vital element for the body. It is especially important that adequate amounts of fluoride enter the human body, since it is a component of tooth enamel. With insufficient or excessive fluoride consumption, the formation of tooth enamel is disrupted and dental diseases develop. With a lack of fluoride, caries occurs. With an excess of fluoride, fluorosis occurs (first, white spots appear on the teeth, then yellow and brownish, and then the bones are affected).

, Blend-a-med , Lacalut and Aquafresh
toothpastes contained the most fluoride , while ROCS had none.
In the labeling on the tube of Splat Professional toothpaste, however, in fact, fluoride was found in the amount indicated on the secondary packaging - the box in which the tube is enclosed. Such labeling, which contradicts itself, is a serious violation. According to experts, the fluorine content in none of the samples exceeds the level allowed by technical regulations. (Technical Regulations of the Customs Union TR CU 009/2011 “On the safety of perfumery and cosmetic products”). It is worth noting that the benefits of fluoridation of toothpastes are questioned by some doctors.

Is fluoride in toothpaste harmful or beneficial?

Andrey Mosov, head of the expert direction of NP Roskontrol, doctor: “The need for fluoride for the formation of tooth enamel is not questioned by any of the specialists: they only argue about whether fluoride enters the body through local penetration into the dental tissue or with a small amount of dental paste that is swallowed when brushing your teeth. One way or another, the preventive and even therapeutic effect of fluoridated toothpastes in relation to dental caries can be considered proven. Toothpaste without fluoride is necessary only in those regions where there is an excess of fluoride in drinking water - for example, in some settlements in the Moscow region. You can find out about the situation specifically in your area of ​​residence at the dental clinic or the local Rospotrebnadzor office. If we talk about Moscow, where the water supply is from a surface source - river water, poor in fluoride - then the use of toothpastes with fluoride is mandatory here.”

Whitening teeth with paste: questions and answers

Do enzymes in toothpaste help whiten teeth?

Yes, by removing plaque on the enamel. Lightening will occur if the teeth initially had a healthy color, which darkened as a result of plaque accumulation.

What substances whiten teeth

Abrasive particles for grinding and polishing enamel; chemical components (carbamide peroxide), plant enzymes to combat yellow plaque. Aluminum chloride, oxalic acid, peroxide esters, hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypophosphate are also used.

Are fruit acids effective for whitening teeth?

Bromelain and papain are natural enzymes that break down proteins. Contained in whitening pastes (Splat Professional in the form of the White system complex). The brightening effect is clinically proven: at least one tone on the Vitapan scale in 30 days of use.

Types of whitening toothpastes according to the principle of action

Whitening toothpastes are divided into two groups.

1. Mechanical cleaning - these are abrasive compounds containing solid particles from 10 to 50%. Abrasives are used for grinding and polishing hard tooth tissues. Common types: silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate (chalk). The latter option is found in economy versions of pastes; when used, it neutralizes the beneficial qualities of fluorides. Cons: solid particles scratch the enamel and promote abrasion; negatively affect the gums, forming microtraumas.

2. Chemical cleaning - chemical components are responsible for enamel whitening: oxidizing agents. Pastes for home use use gels based on carbamide peroxide with different percentages of the active substance (from 10% to 25%). DayWhite ACP chemical enamel lightening kits contain concentrated ten percent hydrogen peroxide.

How effective are whitening toothpastes?

It should be noted that not all shades of teeth whiten equally well. You will be able to notice a truly noticeable visible “before and after” effect only if the enamel of your teeth initially has a yellowish tint. Teeth of gray and brownish tones will simply be impossible to whiten with toothpastes (we are talking specifically about the brown tint of the enamel, and not about the brown pigment deposit on its surface). In this case, only professional whitening, for example, using the Zoom method, can help.

If you need the most effective whitening toothpaste, reviews say that the maximum whitening effect that you can achieve using toothpastes is 2 shades on the VITA scale (Fig. 2-3). The best effect can be achieved by whitening toothpaste with carbamide peroxide, but you should not trust advertising that says that any toothpaste can whiten your teeth by 3-4 or more tones (shades). This is simply impossible.

Teeth shades according to VITA scale –

If pastes with carbamide peroxide are considered the most effective, then how effective is an abrasive whitening paste - reviews say that such pastes allow you to lighten teeth by an average of 1 tone on the VITA scale. To get a more significant result, it is advisable to combine pastes, for example, use an abrasive bleaching paste for the 1st month, and use a paste with carbamide peroxide for the next 2 months.

14) SENSODYNE TOOTHPASTE COMPOSITION

SENSODYNE TREATMENT AND PREVENTIVE TOOTHPASTE WITH FLUORIDE (75 ml):

HOW DOES SENSODYN INSTANT EFFECT WORK? Sensodyne Instant Action toothpaste, which contains minerals, creates a protective layer on the surface of dentitis and acts in the middle of the dentinal canals. This prevents irritants from reaching the nerve of the tooth. Daily brushing twice a day provides long-lasting protection against sensitivity. SENSODYNE paste also cleanses, freshens breath and strengthens enamel.

HOW TO USE: Brush your teeth 2 times a day. To quickly get rid of painful sensitivity, you need to squeeze a small amount of the product onto the clean surface of your fingertip and rub it into the surface of the sensitive tooth for 1 minute.

WARNINGS AND WARNINGS: For oral use only. Keep in a place accessible to children. Do not use in children under 12 years of age. If you are using other products that contain fluoride, consult your doctor before use. Painful tooth sensitivity may indicate a hidden problem that requires timely consultation with a dentist.

Active ingredient Sodium Fluoride (Total Fluoride 1040ppm).

Whitening and brightening toothpastes

Depending on the main active component, whitening toothpastes are divided into two types:

Whitening

Carbamide peroxide is used as an active substance, which, when reacting with water and saliva when brushing teeth, produces active oxygen, which serves as an effective means for whitening tooth enamel. Atomic oxygen molecules penetrate deep into the structure of hard tooth tissue and discolor pigments (chemical whitening effect). Examples of toothpastes with whitening action: REMBRANDT plus, SPLAT Extreme White, ROCS PRO - “Oxygen whitening”.

Lightening

The principle of operation of the composition is to remove plaque and pigmentation of the upper layer of tooth enamel. Lightening occurs as a result of the action of enzymatic substances contained in toothpaste and effective against plaque. The list of active enzymes includes: papain (based on papaya fruits), bromelain (based on pineapple fruits). The composition of lightening pastes additionally includes: sodium pyrophosphate (an inorganic compound, effective in combating plaque), abrasive and polishing particles: oxide, silicon dioxide. Examples of toothpastes with a brightening effect: Colgate “Complex Whitening”, “New Pearl – Whitening”, Blendamed 3D White, ROCS PRO – “Delicate Whitening”, ROCS – “Sensational Whitening”, “SPLAT Whitening Plus”, PRESIDENT White, PRESIDENT White Plus , LACALUT White.
