Exercise No. 387
Subject Code: 781
Tooth Whitening/Bleaching

The 15 questions for this exercise are based on the article, Effects of green tea on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets after in-office vital bleaching, on pages 72-75. This exercise was developed by Charles Martello, DDS, MAGD, in association with the General Dentistry Self-Instruction committee.

Reading the article and successfully completing the exercise will enable you to:

  • recognize the effects of hydrogen peroxide (HP) bleaching;
  • identify the method an antioxidant employs to neutralize HP; and
  • understand the clinical benefits of green tea (GT) as an antioxidant.

Answers for this exercise must be received by April 30, 2017.
  1. All of the following contributes to shear bond strength (SBS) of bleached enamel except one. Which is the exception?

    A. use of an antioxidant
    B. residual oxygen
    C. sufficient resin tags
    D. resin polymerization

    A. 4
    B. 8
    C. 12
    D. 24
