Abstract EN
Objective.
The objective was to compare the clinical efficacy of two different tooth bleaching protocols after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment with an over-the-counter paint-on gel containing 6% hydrogen peroxide.
Material and methods.
Sixteen volunteer patients (minimum shade A2 or darker on maxillary teeth) were selected to participate in this randomized, single-blind (examiner-blinded), single-center, 2-group clinical trial using a divided mouth model.
The product was applied in our clinic to one hemi-arch (Group I) in each patient at two sessions one week apart, making five applications at each session (separated by 10 min intervals).
The patients themselves applied the product once a day for 10 days in the other hemiarch (Group II).
Efficacy was measured according to the Vita Classical shade guide at baseline and at one and two weeks.
Differences between groups (office-treated vs.
home-treated hemiarches) were tested by repeated-measures analysis of variance.
Results.
Significant (P<.05) differences in shade values were detected between pre- and post-bleaching in both groups.
The two groups did not significantly differ in tooth shade at the end of the treatment.
Conclusions.
Treatment with 6% hydrogen peroxide gel using the paint-on system shows significant clinical efficacy whether applied by clinicians or by the patients themselves.
