Twelve volunteers were included in this study. For each volunteer, the pulpal blood flow of maxillary teeth was assessed prior to treatment using Laser Doppler Flowmetry. The "in office" bleaching technique was used 6 anterior teeth, with two different gels, a conventional one chemically activated (Group I 3teeth) and another one activated using Nd:YAG laser (Group II-3 teeth). The bleaching agents were applied on counterpart teeth and, after obtaining a esthetic results for each tooth, the pulpal blood flow was assessed using Laser Doppler Flowmetry immediately after treatment and then after one day and one week. All data were collected and statistically analyzed. Immediately after treatment, the assessment showed an increase of pulpal blood flow, for both study groups, but higher in Group I as compared to Group II (p<0.005). The subsequent assessments showed a reduction of the pulpal blood flow with non - significant differences between the study groups (p<0.005).The results suggest that the tooth bleaching procedurere presents a safe treatment method, which does not lead to irreversible damage to the dental pulp, when used correctly.

Research paper thumbnail of <title>Microspectral analysis with laser in microleakage evaluation between infrastructure and veneer materials in fixed partial dentures</title>

It is possible to use the method of laser microspectral analysis for investigations of microleakage at the metal-veneering material interfaces in fixed partial prostheses. The laser microspectral analysis device LMA-10 (Carl Zeiss, Jena) was used equipped with a diffraction spectrometer PGS-2 (Carl Zeiss, Jena). Different fixed partial dentures were used to determine the microleakage between the metal infrastructure and the veneering material. The distribution of chemical elements at interface infiltration was investigated, making a series of craters and establishing the spectra of the vapours emitted from the craters. Data was gathered in various tables of chemical elements showing the quality and the quantity of microleakage. The laser microspectral analysis is a punctual method of analysis, which allows to investigate small quantities of materials of around 0.1 µg. This method allows to establish the content of atoms and molecules and to perform semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis. By this method it is possible to establish trace elements, i. e. with concentration of ppm (parts per million).

This method permits to establish the content of atoms and molecules. The method permits to make semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis. By this method it is possible to establish trace elements, with concentration of order ppm (parts per million). For atomic UV spectral analysis, intense spectra are produced by the transitions of the metals. The halogens have poor spectra in the UV region. The method is low cost and can be made also with devices adapted for this kind of measurement. By this method we established the curves of concentration distribution for Ca, Mg, P and Zn. These distributions are different of the direction amalgam-nerve duct and on a perpendicular direction to the direction amalgam-nerve duct. We must underline that the method of laser micro spectral analysis gives the possibility to measure the infiltration of due substances in the porous regions of filled tooth.
