Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods01:18

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods

Different methods, such as visual observance of metal-ion indicators, spectroscopic techniques, and potentiometric methods, can determine the endpoint of an EDTA titration.
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
Titration of Polyprotic Base with a Strong Acid01:18

Titration of Polyprotic Base with a Strong Acid

The titration of a polyprotic base such as sodium carbonate with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid results in two equivalence points on the titration curve. At the first equivalence point, the carbonate ions in the base are completely converted to bicarbonate ions. The second equivalence point corresponds to the complete conversion of bicarbonate ions to carbonic acid, which dissociates into carbon dioxide and water. The region before the first equivalence point corresponds to the...
Masking and Demasking Agents01:19

Masking and Demasking Agents

EDTA titrations may necessitate masking and demasking agents to temporarily protect a particular metal ion in a mixture from the EDTA reaction. These agents facilitate the sequential analysis of the metal ions by forming stable complexes with some—but not all—metal ions during certain steps.
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on the metal...
Polyprotic Acids03:38

Polyprotic Acids

Acids are classified by the number of protons per molecule that they can give up in a reaction. Acids such as HCl, HNO3, and HCN that contain one ionizable hydrogen atom in each molecule are called monoprotic acids. Their reactions with water are:
EDTA: Chemistry and Properties01:22

EDTA: Chemistry and Properties

Polydentate ligands are most widely used in complexometric titrations because they form more stable complexes with the metal ions than mono- or bidentate ligands due to the chelate effect. Examples of polydentate ligands are ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), crown ethers, and cryptands. The most important feature of optimal polydentate ligands is the ability to form 1:1 complexes in a single-step process. Amino carboxylic acid derivatives are frequently used as complexing agents. EDTA is...
EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents01:26

EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents

EDTA titrations are usually carried out in highly basic conditions, where the fully deprotonated form of EDTA, Y4−, actively complexes with the free metal ions in the solution. Several metal ions precipitate as hydrous oxide (hydroxides, oxides, or oxyhydroxides) under these conditions, lowering the concentration of free metal ions in the solution. For this reason, auxiliary complexing agents or ligands such as ammonia, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine are used in EDTA titrations to...

    Summary

    Sodium ascorbate (SA) application after dental bleaching with carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide improves hybrid layer and resin tag formation. SA also enhances bond strength after carbamide peroxide bleaching, mitigating bleaching-induced bond degradation.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Adhesive Dentistry

    Background:

    • Dental bleaching agents, such as carbamide peroxide (CP) and hydrogen peroxide (HP), are widely used for aesthetic improvements.
    • However, these bleaching agents can negatively impact the quality of the dentin substrate and the integrity of adhesive interfaces.
    • Antioxidants have been proposed to counteract the detrimental effects of bleaching on dental tissues and restorative procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of 10% sodium ascorbate (SA) on the hybrid layer, resin tag length, and microtensile bond strength to dentin following dental bleaching.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of SA in mitigating the adverse effects of CP and HP bleaching on dentin-bonding parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Six experimental groups were established: control, SA application alone, CP bleaching, CP bleaching + SA, HP bleaching, and HP bleaching + SA.
    • After bleaching and SA application (where applicable), dentin bonding procedures were performed.
    • Hybrid layer thickness and resin tag length were analyzed using light microscopy after decalcification and sectioning.
    • Microtensile bond strength was assessed using standardized testing methods.

    Main Results:

    • Bleaching with CP or HP significantly impaired hybrid layer and resin tag formation and reduced microtensile bond strength compared to the control group.
    • Application of SA significantly increased hybrid layer thickness and resin tag length in both CP and HP bleached groups.
    • SA application restored microtensile bond strength to control levels after CP bleaching, while it did not significantly affect bond strength after HP bleaching.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental bleaching with CP or HP compromises dentin's hybrid layer and resin tag formation, leading to reduced bond strength.
    • Sodium ascorbate (SA) is an effective antioxidant that can significantly improve hybrid layer and resin tag formation after bleaching.
    • SA application can mitigate the negative effects of bleaching on dentin bond strength, particularly after carbamide peroxide treatment.
