Hydrogen Peroxide Crown Damage
On the damage of hydrogen peroxide to dental crowns
This paper explores whether hydrogen peroxide damages dental crowns. Hydrogen peroxide is quite common in oral applications, but its impact on dental crowns cannot be ignored.
Or hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation, which may cause damage to dental crowns. In practical applications, dental crowns are often exposed to hydrogen peroxide-containing environments, such as some whitening products containing this ingredient. If the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is improper, or the action time is too long, the structure of the surface of the crown may be damaged.
Crowns are made of various materials, including porcelain, resin, etc. Different materials have different tolerances to hydrogen peroxide. Porcelain dental crowns, although hard in texture, are exposed to hydrogen peroxide for a long time, and their surface enamel may react chemically, causing gloss to decrease and even fine cracks. Resin dental crowns, due to their chemical structure, are more susceptible to hydrogen peroxide erosion, or cause color changes and mechanical properties to decrease.
However, there are also views that if used properly, the concentration and duration of hydrogen peroxide are controlled, and the damage to the crown can be minimized. Appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide, acting in a short period of time, may achieve the purpose of oral cleaning and whitening without causing significant damage to the crown.
To sum up, the damage of hydrogen peroxide to dental crowns depends on the way of use. Physicians and patients should treat with caution and use hydrogen peroxide rationally to maximize the integrity and health of the dental crown when achieving therapeutic or cosmetic effects.
