Other whitening agents that have been used are surfactants, colorants, enzymes and polyaspartate. 6 , 7 Presently some toothpastes have also started using activated charcoal as a whitening agent because it has the capacity of adsorbing pigments and stains. 1 Studies have shown that whitening toothpastes can bring about changes to the surface roughness and microhardness of teeth. 8 , 9 Rationale The extraordinary mechanical properties of a tooth with respect to hardness and fracture toughness is due to the chemical and structural interaction between the inorganic hydroxyapatite and the organic protein matrix. 1 Studies have reported structural damage to enamel surface prisms and increased tooth sensitivity during professional teeth whitening in the dental clinic. 10 – 12 However, conflicting results have been reported with respect to the clinical efficiency of home use whitening toothpastes, with many studies reporting very little clinically significant effect on tooth whitening. 13 – 15 Most whitening toothpastes contain abrasives of different sizes and shapes and as the size of the abrasive particles increases, the abrasiveness of a toothpaste also increases leading to increased surface roughness and reduced microhardness of the enamel. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conceptualized with the hope that this understanding might help in managing toothpaste formulations to bring about tooth whitening without affecting surface roughness and microhardness. The findings would have clinical implications as well as implications for research. Objective To assess the effect of whitening toothpastes on the surface roughness and microhardness of human teeth by identifying all relevant literature, evaluating it systematically and synthesizing the data to integrate the findings. Focus question We attempted to answer the following question: Do whitening toothpastes affect the surface roughness and microhardness of human teeth? Methods Eligibility criteria Inclusion criteria Criteria for including studies in the review were done based on PICOS , i. P opulation, or participants and conditions of interest: Extracted human teeth ii. I nterventions or exposures: Brushing with whitening toothpaste iii. C omparisons or control groups: With at least one comparison group iv. O utcomes of interest: Surface roughness and microhardness v. S tudy designs: In vitro RCT studies Exclusion criteria It was decided to exclude studies in languages other than English and studies where abstracts or full texts were not available. Information sources Studies were identified from the electronic databases of Scopus , Embase (EMBASE, RRID:SCR_001650), PubMed (PubMed Central, RRID:SCR_004166), Springer Link , Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics, RRID:SCR_017657) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (Cochrane Library, RRID:SCR_013000) between February and October 2021. Search strategy Search used the following key terms with the Boolean ‘OR’ operator: “dental enamel” OR “microhardness” OR “surface roughness” OR “ in vitro study” OR “whitening toothpaste” sort by: relevance, Filters: English. The selection of articles was completed by two authors (Jamwal N and Rao A) using papers published in the electronic databases, as assessed by the eligibility criteria. Reference checking and hand searching of articles was also done. Data collection process Reviewer number 1 (NJ) and reviewer number 2 (AR) screened the articles independently. Any disagreements were resolved by a third author (RS). Covidence ® (Veritas Health Innovation, Melbourne, Australia) (RRID:SCR_016485) was used for data screening and data extraction. The CONSORT tool was used for checking relevant content and methodology used in each of the papers reviewed. Systematic review was done followed by meta-analysis, using Review Manager (RevMan version 5.4.1) (RRID:SCR_003581). Data items Data was sought for two outcomes namely, surface roughness and microhardness of extracted human teeth, with at least two time points i.e., before and after intervention with a whitening toothpaste. In cases where there were more than one post intervention time points, the final time point was considered. The Covidence data extraction template was customized for this systematic review. Risk of bias assessment The quality of the articles was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2), which is structured into five domains, risk of bias arising from the randomization process, due to deviations from intended interventions, due to missing outcome data, bias in measurement of the outcome and bias in selection of the reported result. The Covidence quality assessment template was customized for this study. Reviewer number 1 (NJ) and reviewer number 2 (AR) reviewed the quality of the articles independently. In case of any disagreements, discussions were held to come to a consensus. Data synthesis Data was analyzed with the random effects meta-analyses model for continuous data, for the two outcomes of surface roughness and microhardness, using Review Manager (RevMan 5.4.1) (RevMan, RRID:SCR_003581). Forest plots were constructed in Review manager for the two outcomes of surface roughness and microhardness. Publication bias was assessed by constructing funnel plots using Review Manager. Results Study selection A total of 125 articles were obtained on the initial key word search ( Table 1 ), out of which 83 were from Scopus, 25 from Embase, 8 from PubMed/MEDLINE, 4 from Springer Link, 3 from Web of Science and 2 from the Cochrane Library. When the 30 duplicates were removed, we selected 95 articles for level 1 title screening. After title screening, 78 studies were found to be irrelevant, and 17 articles were eligible for full text review. During the full text review, 10 studies were excluded; 5 because the interventions were not in line with the inclusion criteria, 4 because the studies used bovine teeth and one because it was an in vivo study. Finally, 7 studies were included for systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on 4 studies ( Figure 1 ). Table 1. Characteristics of included studies. Author, year Control group Intervention group/whitening ingredient Sample size Brushing duration Type of outcome measures Key conclusions Bolay 2012 • Control group brushed with water without dentifrice • Colgate Total (control) • Natural White 8 in each group Exposed to 20,000 brush strokes Surface roughness and microhardness Toothbrushing with whitening dentifrice increased surface roughness values but had no effect on hardness values. Feitosa 2013 • Colgate Total Advanced Clean (control) • Colgate Total Advanced Whitening • Colgate Whitening Oxygen Bubbles 12 in each group Brushed for 20,000 cycles to simulate 10 hours Surface roughness Whitening dentifrices increased the surface roughness of enamel. Rahardjo 2015 • Pepsodent Regular (control) • Pepsodent Whitening • Formula Sparkling White 20 in each group Brushed for 840 seconds to simulate 3 months Surface roughness and microhardness Tooth brushing with whitening toothpaste for a prolonged time increased enamel roughness and decreased enamel microhardness.

All selected studies were published between 2012 and 2021. The studies used control and comparison groups to evaluate the effects of whitening toothpaste on surface roughness and microhardness of human teeth in vitro. Some studies used brushing without toothpaste as the control group 16 , 17 while others used regular toothpastes as controls. 8 , 9 , 18 - 20 The intervention consisted of a variety of whitening toothpastes like Natural White, 16 Colgate Total Advanced Whitening, Colgate Whitening Oxygen Bubbles, 18 Pepsodent Whitening, Formula Sparkling White, 8 Close up White now, Sensodyne True White, Colgate Optic White, 19 Sensodyne True White, Splat Special Blackwood, Colgate Optic White, Signal White Now, Ipana 3D White, Paradontax Whitening, 17 İpana White Power 9 and Body Kingdom, Curaprox Black is White, Colgate Optic White. 20 The sample sizes varied from 8 per group to 30 per group with four studies having both surface roughness and microhardness as the outcomes and three studies having only one outcome of surface roughness. Risk of bias in studies The quality of the 7 articles was assessed using the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2), and is shown in Figure 2 . One study showed a high risk of bias and one a low risk of bias. All other 5 studies showed unclear risk of bias. The main concerns were with respect to the risk of bias arising from the randomization process, risk of bias due to deviations from intended interventions and risk of bias in measurement of the outcome. Figure 2. Risk of bias scale. The study 19 with high risk of bias not only gave no information on the random sequence allocation, but also reported the presence of unsolved baseline differences between intervention groups suggesting a problem with the randomization process. All studies with unclear risk of bias showed lack of information with respect to the random allocation sequence, blinding of people delivering the intervention and blinding of the outcome assessors. Meta-analysis We used random-effects meta-analyses model assuming that underlying effects follow a normal distribution. Among the 7 studies that were included for systematic review, quantitative data was inappropriate for 3 studies 9 , 17 , 19 and one 19 showed high risk of bias and therefore these studies could not be included, and meta-analysis was conducted using the remaining 4 studies. Data from the 4 studies 8 , 16 , 18 , 20 selected for meta-analysis were analyzed to create forest plots displaying weights and confidence intervals. Separate forest plots were created for the two outcomes of surface roughness and microhardness. Forest plot for surface roughness The I 2 value of 61% indicates moderate heterogeneity. The confidence interval of the combined effect size (diamond) does not include zero and is on the right hand side, indicating that the meta-analytic effect is statistically significant and favoring the control (confidence level of 95%; p-value is less than.05). This shows that the surface roughness value is lesser in the control group when compared with the intervention group. The corresponding Z value is 2.06 and the p value is 0.04 ( Figure 3 ). Figure 3. Forest plot comparing the surface roughness of enamel of controls with those brushed with whitening toothpaste. Forest plot for microhardness Since I 2 value is 98% showing high heterogeneity, the results need to be interpreted with caution. The confidence interval of the combined effect size (diamond) does not include zero and is on the left hand side, indicating that the meta-analytic effect is statistically significant and favoring the experimental group (confidence level of 95%; p-value is less than 0.05). This shows that the microhardness value is lesser in the intervention group when compared with the control group. The corresponding Z value is 2.10 and the p value is 0.04 ( Figure 4 ). Figure 4. Forest plot comparing the microhardness of enamel of controls with those brushed with whitening toothpaste. Funnel plot: The observed effect sizes were more or less symmetrically distributed around the combined effect size, in both the outcomes, indicating no asymmetry in the distribution of effect sizes and hence no evidence of publication bias ( Figures 5 & 6 ). Figure 5. Funnel plot for surface roughness. Figure 6. Funnel plot for microhardness. Discussion Whitening toothpastes are easily available over the counter without a prescription. The ingredients of a whitening paste range from abrasives such as hydrated silica, calcium carbonate to whitening agents like perlite, peroxides, activated charcoal, blue covarine, hydrogen peroxide and microbeads. 1 Ideally, whitening toothpastes must remove stains and improve tooth color. However, studies 8 , 9 , 16 , 18 , 20 have shown that whitening toothpastes also have deleterious effect on the mineral content of enamel resulting in increased surface roughness and reduced microhardness. This systematic review was carried out to examine the relationship between whitening toothpastes and surface roughness as well as microhardness of extracted human teeth. Surface roughness and microhardness are important indications of loss or gain of mineral content in tooth structure which can be used to show the unwanted effect of whitening toothpastes. Among the 7 studies which were included in this systematic review, 5 studies 8 , 9 , 16 , 18 , 20 reported increase in surface roughness of enamel. However, in the study by Alpan et al , 17 among the 6 whitening toothpastes studied, two whitening toothpastes i.e., Splat Special Blackwood and Colgate Optic White, reduced enamel roughness. The study by Shamel et al 19 also showed that whitening toothpastes containing blue covarine produced less surface roughness compared to other whitening toothpastes. With respect to the other outcome of microhardness, two studies reported no effect of whitening toothpastes on microhardness 16 , 20 and two studies reported that whitening toothpastes reduced microhardness. 8 , 9 It is crucial to emphasize that the composition of the whitening toothpaste as well as the content and the type of whitening agent might affect the surface roughness and microhardness of the enamel surface. Moreover, the simulation of toothbrushing and the duration and frequency of its application were different in the 7 studies included for the systematic review, which could have influenced the outcomes. When we analyzed the forest plot for surface roughness, we found that the meta-analytic effect is statistically significant with surface roughness value being higher in the intervention group i.e., the group which was administered the whitening toothpaste. When the forest plot for microhardness was analyzed, we found that the meta-analytic effect was statistically significant with the microhardness value being lesser in the intervention group. Since the I 2 value was found to be 61% and 98% in the forest plot for surface roughness and microhardness indicating moderate and high heterogeneity respectively, the pooled statistics need to be interpreted with caution. However, it is also prudent to note that I 2 value is not a measure of absolute heterogeneity. Rather, it tells us what proportion of the observed variance reflects variance in true effect sizes rather than sampling error. 21 Since this meta-analysis is based on in vitro studies and we have also partitioned the data for analysis, the I 2 value may reflect the extent to which confidence intervals from the included studies overlap with each other. Limitations of the included evidence All studies except one gave no information about the random allocation sequence, blinding of people delivering the intervention and blinding of the outcome assessors. Although these are in vitro studies, randomization plays a crucial role in minimizing bias. The studies included in this systematic review have used toothpastes containing different types of whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide, charcoal and blue covarine. A few studies 17 , 19 have shown that some whitening agents produced less surface roughness when compared to other whitening agents. It is important that studies incorporate the exact whitening method used so that it can be correlated with the changes in surface roughness and microhardness. Conclusions Implications for practice: Although whitening toothpastes typically can lighten tooth color by about one or two shades, there is some evidence to show that these toothpastes also affect the mineral content of teeth by increasing surface roughness and reducing microhardness. Therefore, dental professionals need to educate their patients to be cautious regarding the prolonged use of home use whitening toothpaste. 22 Implications for policy: More evidence and further research are needed to identify the type of whitening agent which will whiten the tooth effectively while maintaining the integrity of the tooth structure. Implications for future research: This systematic review and meta-analysis has provided some evidence that whitening toothpastes do affect the surface roughness and microhardness of human teeth. However, further research with robust methodology, reducing the risk of bias, needs to be conducted to definitively establish the role of abrasive and whitening components in increasing the surface roughness and microhardness of human enamel.

Continue reading READ ALL Dear Authors, Congratulations on your manuscript. The systematic review and meta-analysis has defined the rationale and objective behind the conceptualization of this study. They have defined the in vitro randomized control trials that will be included in this review. The methods and analysis are appropriately defined for replication. The statistical analysis and interpretation of data is pertinent. The conclusion of the review that whitening toothpastes typically can lighten tooth colour by about one or two shades is for clinically application for the general public and private practitioners. There is some evidence generated to show that these toothpastes also affect the mineral content of teeth by increasing surface roughness and reducing microhardness. Such reviews can help clinicians and masses to decide on the continuous use of whitening toothpastes. Few minor comments are as below: Comment 1: Table 1- Characteristics of included studies Bolay 2012 - Exposed to 20.000 brush strokes (It should be 20,000) Rahardjo 2015 - Brushed for 840 seconds ti simulate 3 months. (It should probably be 840 minutes. If we calculate to simulate 5 minutes daily for 90 days it comes to 450 minutes, hence 840 seconds seem to be wrongly written) Alpan Lektemur 2020 - Brushed for 5 seconds per day for 30 days (5 seconds per day seems a little less. Need to cross check the data. Probably its 5 minutes per day) Comment 2: \"7 studies that were included for systematic review, quantitative data was inappropriate for 3 studies and one showed high risk of bias and therefore these studies could not be included, and meta-analysis was conducted using the remaining 4 studies.\" Kindly recalculate. If 3 studies were inappropriate and 1 was not included due to high risk of bias. Seven minus four, i.e. three studies should have been included in meta-analysis. Hopefully this will improve the manuscript. All the best. Are the rationale for, and objectives of, the Systematic Review clearly stated?

So, meta-analysis was conducted using the remaining 4 studies “Among the 7 studies that were included for systematic review, quantitative data was inappropriate for 3 studies (9 , 17 , 19) and one (19) showed high risk of bias and therefore these studies could not be included, and meta-analysis was conducted using the remaining 4 studies.” Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

However, for the below comments, no changes were done since the article mentions 5 seconds and not 5 minutes. Comment 2: Rahardjo 2015 - Brushed for 840 seconds ti simulate 3 months. (It should probably be 840 minutes. If we calculate to simulate 5 minutes daily for 90 days it comes to 450 minutes, hence 840 seconds seem to be wrongly written) Response: No changes done: The article mentions brushing time as 5 seconds not minutes.

Continue reading READ ALL The current systematic review and meta-analysis is interesting and well conducted, albeit the data do not add any new information. It is crucial to be emphasize that the composition of the whitening toothpaste, as well as the content and the type of the whitening agent are the factors that mainly affect the surface roughness and microhardness of the enamel surface. Moreover, the simulation of toothbrushing and the duration and frequency of its application can influence those outcomes. It is also important to discuss that the effectiveness of this whitening method is correlated with the changes in surface roughness and microhardness. Are the rationale for, and objectives of, the Systematic Review clearly stated? Yes Are sufficient details of the methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes Is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate? Yes Are the conclusions drawn adequately supported by the results presented in the review? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Dear Authors, Congratulations on your manuscript. The systematic review and meta-analysis has defined the rationale and objective behind the conceptualization of this study. They have defined the in vitro randomized control trials that will be included in this review. The methods and analysis are appropriately defined for replication. The statistical analysis and interpretation of data is pertinent. The conclusion of the review that whitening toothpastes typically can lighten tooth colour by about one or two shades is for clinically application for the general public and private practitioners. There is some evidence generated to show that these toothpastes also affect the mineral content of teeth by increasing surface roughness and reducing microhardness. Such reviews can help clinicians and masses to decide on the continuous use of whitening toothpastes. Few minor comments are as below: Comment 1: Table 1- Characteristics of included studies Bolay 2012 - Exposed to 20.000 brush strokes (It should be 20,000) Rahardjo 2015 - Brushed for 840 seconds ti simulate 3 months. (It should probably be 840 minutes. If we calculate to simulate 5 minutes daily for 90 days it comes to 450 minutes, hence 840 seconds seem to be wrongly written) Alpan Lektemur 2020 - Brushed for 5 seconds per day for 30 days (5 seconds per day seems a little less. Need to cross check the data. Probably its 5 minutes per day) Comment 2: \"7 studies that were included for systematic review, quantitative data was inappropriate for 3 studies and one showed high risk of bias and therefore these studies could not be included, and meta-analysis was conducted using the remaining 4 studies.\" Kindly recalculate. If 3 studies were inappropriate and 1 was not included due to high risk of bias. Seven minus four, i.e. three studies should have been included in meta-analysis. Hopefully this will improve the manuscript. All the best. Are the rationale for, and objectives of, the Systematic Review clearly stated? Yes Are sufficient details of the methods and analysis provided to allow replication by others? Yes Is the statistical analysis and its interpretation appropriate?
