| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed an office whitening agent for concomitant aplication with hydrogen peroxide solution using a calcium phosphate compound, oxyapatite photocatalyst, which exhibits marked adsorptivity to organic substances, such as dyes, and a strong oxidative action by producing active oxygen under visible light irradiation. Setting various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide solution, the bleaching effect at a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide solution was investigated using a sintered apatite coloring model and extracted human teeth.
As results, it increased as the frequency of treatment increased. The bleaching effect was marked even at a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide water, and it was higher than those of a commercial office whitening product comprised of a titanium dioxide photocatalyst and 6% hydrogen peroxide solution. The surface roughness was not affected by bleaching when the concentration was low.
