Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of using turmeric powder extract on changes of tooth color with extra-coronal
and intra-coronal bleaching methods. Materials and Methods: Turmeric powder extract was weighted and mixed with two different
hydrogen peroxide concentrations (3% and 6%) to be used as a bleaching agent. Thirty teeth were allocated into three groups (n = 10):
Group A: bleaching agent (6%) was applied on the labial surface, Group B: bleaching agent (3%) was applied inside the pulp chamber,
and Group C: extra- and intra-coronal bleaching techniques were used (6% and 3%, respectively). A standardized access cavity was
opened in the palatal surface of each tooth in both Groups B and C. Color parameters were measured using a spectrophotometer.
Results: A statistically significant difference in color difference values (∆E*) and enamel brightness (∆L*) was found between Group
C and each of Groups A and B. There was no statistically significant difference in (∆E*) and (∆L*) between Group A and Group
B. The highest mean value of (∆E*) and (∆L*) was found in Group C, whereas the least mean value was found in Group B. Conclusion:
Bleaching the external and internal tooth structure with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide solution mixed with turmeric extract
has a promising effect in color enhancement.
