Sumario:Abstract Hyperalgesia has become a major problem restricting the clinical application of tooth bleaching. We hypothesized that transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), a pain conduction tunnel, plays a role in tooth hyperalgesia and inflammation after bleaching. Dental pulp stem cells were seeded on the dentin side of the disc, which was cut from the premolar buccal tissue, with 15% (90 min) or 40% (3 × 15 min) bleaching gel applied on the enamel side, and treated with or without a TRPA1 inhibitor. The bleaching gel stimulated intracellular reactive oxygen species, Ca2+, ATP, and extracellular ATP in a dose-dependent manner, and increased the mRNA and protein levels of hyperalgesia (TRPA1 and PANX1) and inflammation (TNFα and IL6) factors. This increment was adversely affected by TRPA1 inhibitor. In animal study, the protein levels of TRPA1 (P = 0.0006), PANX1 (P < 0.0001), and proliferation factors [PCNA (P < 0.0001) and Caspase 3 (P = 0.0066)] increased significantly after treated rat incisors with 15% and 40% bleaching gels as detected by immunohistochemistry. These results show that TRPA1 plays a critical role in sensitivity and inflammation after tooth bleaching, providing a solid foundation for further research on reducing the complications of tooth bleaching.
