Influence of dental bleaching on the pulp tissue: A systematic review of in vivo studies. Int Endod J 2024; 57:630-654. [PMID: 38470103 DOI: 10.1111/iej.14061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although several studies indicate the harmful effects of bleaching on pulp tissue, the demand for this procedure using high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP) is high. OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of bleaching on the pulp tissue. METHODS Electronic searches were conducted (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library and grey literature) until February 2021. Only in vivo studies that evaluated the effects of HP and/or carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching gels on the inflammatory response in the pulp tissue compared with a non-bleached group were included. Risk of bias was performed according to a modified Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies scale for human studies and the Systematic Review Centre for Laboratory Animal Experimentation's RoB tool for animal studies. Meta-analysis was unfeasible. RESULTS Of the 1311 studies, 30 were eligible. Of these, 18 studies evaluated the inflammatory response in animal models. All these studies reported a moderate-to-strong inflammatory response in the superficial regions of pulp, characterized by cell disorganization and necrotic areas, particularly during the initial periods following exposure to 35%-38% HP, for 30-40 min. In the evaluation of human teeth across 11 studies, seven investigated inflammatory responses, with five observing significant inflammation in the pulp of bleached teeth. In terms of tertiary dentine deposition, 11 out of 12 studies noted its occurrence after bleaching with 35%-38% HP in long-term assessments. Additionally, three studies reported significant levels of osteocalcin/osteopontin at 2 or 10 days post-treatment. Other studies indicated an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines ranging from immediately up to 10 days after bleaching. Studies using humans' teeth had a low risk of bias, whereas animal studies had a high risk of bias. DISCUSSION Despite the heterogeneity in bleaching protocols among studies, High-concentrations of HP shows the potential to induce significant pulp damage. CONCLUSIONS High-concentrations of bleaching gel increases inflammatory response and necrosis in the pulp tissue at short periods after bleaching, mainly in rat molars and in human incisors, in addition to greater hard tissue deposition over time. However, further well-described histological studies with long-term follow-up are encouraged due to the methodological limitations of these studies. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42021230937).

Bleaching Gels Used After 1 Week of Mixing: Efficacy, Hydrogen Peroxide Penetration, and Physical-chemical Properties. Oper Dent 2023; 48:564-574. [PMID: 37721110 DOI: 10.2341/23-010-l] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the bleaching efficacy (BE), hydrogen peroxide penetration into the pulp chamber (HPP), and physical-chemical properties (concentration, pH, and viscosity) of in-office bleaching gels immediately and after 1 week of mixing. METHODS AND MATERIALS We randomly divided 49 premolars into seven groups: control (no bleaching) and the following in-office bleaching (Opalescence Boost 40%, Total Blanc One Step 35%, and Whiteness HP Blue 35%) applied at two storage times: immediately and after 1 week. We evaluated the BE using a digital spectrophotometer and the HPP through UV-Vis spectroscopy. We measured the initial concentration, pH, and viscosity using titration, a Digital pH meter and Rheometer, respectively. For statistical analysis, we used a twoway analysis of variance and Tukey and Dunnet tests (α=0.05). RESULTS We observed higher BE and HPP for Opalescence Boost and Total Blanc One Step after 1 week of mixing than for Whiteness HP Blue (p<0.001). We observed a significantly lower initial concentration for Whiteness HP Blue 1 week after mixing compared to immediately (p=0.00001). All bleaching gels showed a decrease in pH after 1 week of mixing (p=0.00003). However, Total Blanc One Step had a lower pH at both evaluation times (p<0.001). Only Opalescence Boost maintained viscosity 1 week after mixing. CONCLUSIONS Opalescence Boost was the only bleaching gel able to keep bleaching efficacy, with the same characteristics of permeability and physical- chemical properties after 1 week of mixing.

Whitening efficacy and tooth sensitivity in a combined in-office and at-home whitening protocol: A randomized controlled clinical trial. J ESTHET RESTOR DENT 2023; 35:821-833. [PMID: 36883730 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.13033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This controlled randomized clinical trial determined the whitening efficacy and the intensity and absolute risk of tooth sensitivity in dual whitening when prefilled at-home whitening trays were used between in-office whitening intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS An in-office whitening agent containing 35% hydrogen peroxide was used. A prefilled tray with a whitening agent containing 6% hydrogen peroxide was used for at-home whitening. Sixty-six subjects were randomly assigned to three groups. Group I: at-home whitening was performed 10 times between the in-office whitening treatments. Group II: at-home whitening was performed five times between the in-office whitening treatments. Group III: only in-office whitening was performed. The tooth color changes were evaluated using a spectrophotometer. A visual analog scale was used to express the pain intensity. RESULTS All the groups showed increased ΔE*ab, ΔE00 , and ΔWID with increased whitening sessions. Group I at the 3rd whitening session showed significantly higher ΔE*ab, ΔE00 , and ΔWID than group III. Tooth sensitivity showed higher values up to 24 h after whitening. CONCLUSIONS Although dual whitening with the prefilled tray and in-office whitening had higher whitening ability than in-office whitening alone, the intensity and absolute risk of tooth sensitivity was similar. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The dual whitening might produce faster and stronger whitening effects than in-office whitening alone.

In-vitro evaluation of the effectiveness of polyphenols based strawberry extracts for dental bleaching. Sci Rep 2023; 13:4181. [PMID: 36914760 PMCID: PMC10011378 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-31125-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
To formulate a dental bleaching agent with strawberry extract that has potent bleaching properties and antimicrobial efficacy. Enamel specimens (3 × 3 × 2 mm3) were prepared. Quaternary Ammonium Silane (CaC2 enriched) was homogenized with fresh strawberries: Group 1: supernatant strawberry (10 g) extract < Group 2: supernatant strawberry (10 g) extract + 15%HA (Hydroxyapatite) < Group 3: supernatant strawberry (10 g) extract + 15% (HA-2%k21) < Group 4: supernatant strawberry (20 g) extract only (20 g strawberries) < Group 5: supernatant strawberry (20 g) extract + 15% HA < Group 6: supernatant strawberry (20 g) extract + 15% (HA-2%K21) < Group 7: In-office Opalescence Boost 35%. Single-colony lactobacillus was examined using confocal microscopy identifying bacterial growth and inhibition in presence of bleaching agents using 300 µL aliquot of each bacterial culture. Images were analysed by illuminating with a 488 nm argon/helium laser beam. Colour difference (∆E00) was calculated using an Excel spreadsheet implementation of the CIEDE2000 colour difference formula and colour change measured between after staining and after bleaching. Scanning electron microscope was used to image specimens. Raman spectra were collected, and enamel slices were used for STEM/TEM analysis. HPLC was used for strawberry extract analysis. Nano-indentation was performed and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Antioxidant activity was determined along with molecular simulation. hDPSCs were expanded for Alamar Blue Analysis and SEM. Mean colour change was significantly reduced in group 1 compared to other groups (p < 0.05). CLSM showed detrimental effects of different strawberry extracts on bioflms, especially with antimicrobial (p < 0.05). Groups 1, 2 and 3 showed flatter/irregular surfaces with condensation of anti-microbial in group 3. In strawberry specimens, bands predominate at 960 cm-1. HPLC determined the strawberry extracts content. Molecular simulation verified interaction between calcium and polyphenol components. XPS peak-fitted high-resolution corresponding results of Ca2p3/2 and Ca2p1/2 for all k21 groups. Combination of 10 g strawberry extract supernatant and 15% (hydroxyapatite 2%k21) improved the whiteness and provided additional antimicrobial potential. The novel strawberry extract and antimicrobial based dental formulation had immediate bleaching effect without promoting significant changes in enamel morphology.

The Effect of In-Office Bleaching with Different Concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide on Enamel Color, Roughness, and Color Stability. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:ma16041389. [PMID: 36837018 PMCID: PMC9961799 DOI: 10.3390/ma16041389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of in-office bleaching in esthetic dentistry on the roughness and color stability of the enamel surface, using different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP). Fifty human incisors were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10). No bleaching was performed in the control group. For these groups, concentrations of 40% HP with fluoride (F), 35% HP with calcium (Ca), 25% HP with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and 18% HP with nHA were used for bleaching in the test groups. Surface roughness was assessed at baseline after bleaching occurred. Color measurements were first obtained at baseline, then after the first and second sessions of bleaching, and, finally, after the staining protocol. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy were performed. Statistical analysis was conducted with a one-way ANOVA, followed by a post hoc Tukey's test and a paired-samples t-test (p < 0.05). All the bleaching gels used exhibited a similar color change (p > 0.05). Bleaching gels containing 18% HP with nHA and that containing 35% HP with Ca caused less surface roughness of the enamel. Of these concentrations, 25% HP with nHA caused the most surface roughness and no significant difference was observed, compared with 40% HP with F. The highest coloration after bleaching was observed in 40% HP with F and 25% HP with nHA. The lowest coloration was obtained in 35% HP with Ca and 18% HP with nHA but no significant difference was observed between them and the control group. A concentration above 18% HP does not increase the bleaching effectiveness. The results show that 18% HP with nHA and 35% HP with Ca resulted in the least increase in enamel surface roughness when compared to high-concentrate HP; however, it also prevented recoloration after bleaching.

Influence of Viscosity and Thickener on the Effects of Bleaching Gels. Oper Dent 2022; 47:E119-E130. [PMID: 35649221 DOI: 10.2341/20-309-l] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the influence of the viscosity and kind of thickener of 35% hydrogen peroxide bleaching gels on the tooth (color change, demineralization of enamel, and permeation) and on the gel [reactive oxygen species (ROS), pH, and peroxide concentration]. METHODS AND MATERIALS Two hundred forty specimens were divided into groups of bleaching gels with different thickeners (CAR, carbomer; ASE, alkali swellable emulsion; MSA, modified sulfonic acid polymer; SSP, semisynthetic polysaccharide; PAC, particulate colloids) in three viscosities (low: 50,000 cP; medium: 250,000 cP; high: 1,000,000 cP). Color change (ΔEab), demineralization of enamel by Knoop microhardness (KHN) reduction analysis, and peroxide permeation (PP) were analyzed in the specimens, while pH, peroxide concentration (PC), and ROS were evaluated in the gels. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA (α=0.05). RESULTS The higher viscosity gels reduced ΔEab, PP, enamel softening, and ROS in relation to the lower viscosity gels. However, the drop in pH and PC were higher in the more viscous gels. Gels with MSA produced higher ΔEab compared with SSP and ASE. The PP was higher for PAC, and smaller for SSP and CAR. The KHN reduction was higher for CAR and smaller for PAC. The higher pH reduction was seen for ASE and CAR, and the smaller for SSP. The PC reduction was higher for SSP and smaller for CAR. More ROS were observed for MSA and fewer for ASE. CONCLUSIONS Increased gel viscosity was associated with reduced color change, permeation, demineralization of enamel, and ROS, and led to increased peroxide decomposition and pH alteration during the treatment. The kind of thickener significantly interfered with the treatment effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy, color stability, and tooth sensitivity (TS) of combined bleaching, using a modified protocol with at-home bleaching. METHODS Eighty participants were randomized into two groups. In the combined group, a desensitizing gel was applied (10 minutes) prior to in-office bleaching (35% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 2×15 minute applications) and at-home bleaching (4% H2O2, 2×30 minutes for 21 days) started the next day. In the at-home group, only the at-home bleaching was performed. Color was recorded at the beginning and postbleaching with two scales (VITA Classical and Bleachedguide) and Easyshade spectrophotometer. The TS was recorded daily with a 0-10 visual analogue scale (VAS) and five-point numeric rating scale (NRS). RESULTS A 40% lower risk (RR=1.4; 95% CI 1.1-1.9) was observed in the at-home group. Higher color change and intensity of TS [mean difference 2.3 (95% CI 1.3-3.3) in the VAS] was observed in the first week for the combined group. After the end of the protocol, a bleaching degree was detected for both groups, with no significant difference between both groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION The combined group produced a slightly higher degree of color change than at-home bleaching but with a higher risk and intensity of TS.

Blinded, Parallel and Randomized Clinical Evaluation of In-office Dental Bleaching with Violet LED (405-410 nm). Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2022; 38:102739. [PMID: 35123016 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.102739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2021] [Revised: 01/12/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
This clinical study evaluated the effect of bleaching performed with violet LED light (405-410 nm), either combined with hydrogen peroxide (HP) gel, or not, on color change, dental sensitivity, participants' satisfaction and impact on their quality of life. A hundred participants were divided into one of the groups (n = 25): G1 - 35% HP (4 sessions, 1x/week); G2 - violet LED (4 sessions, 1x/week); G3 - violet LED (4 sessions, 2x/week); G4 - hybrid technique (violet LED + 35% HP; 4 sessions, 1x/week). Color evaluation was performed with colorimetric tests (objective and subjective), before, 14 days and 3 months after completion. Additionally, satisfaction with treatment, impact on quality of life (OHIP-14) and dental sensitivity were recorded. The data were submitted to statistical analysis, considering a significance level of 5%, with the exception of the data from the questionnaire on satisfaction (descriptive analysis). Two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests showed that there was no difference between color variation resulting from techniques used in G1 and G4; those used in G2 and G3 did not differ and were less effective for bleaching than those of the other groups, in both subjective and objective evaluations. Regarding tooth sensitivity, subjects in G2 and G3 experienced no sensitivity, while those in G4 showed lower sensitivity values than those in G1. With respect to quality of life, only subjects in G1 and G2 showed a significant positive impact. Among the evaluated techniques, the hybrid type seemed to be a good alternative, showing effective bleaching with less tooth sensitivity.

Evaluation of the efficacy of diode laser in bleaching of the tooth at different time intervals using spectrophotometer: An in vitro study. J Conserv Dent 2022; 25:166-172. [PMID: 35720817 PMCID: PMC9205357 DOI: 10.4103/jcd.jcd_621_21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 01/08/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim: This study aimed at comparative evaluation of the efficacy of tooth bleaching using different concentrations of carbamide peroxide (CP) with and without diode laser at 980 nm for 2.5 and 5 min time duration. Materials and Methods: Hundred intact human incisors were selected. Teeth were artificially stained using black tea solution. Samples were randomly allocated into four groups: Group I: distilled water, Group II: 15%, 20%, and 35% CP without laser, Group III: 15%, 20%, and 35% CP using diode laser for 2.5 min, and Group IV: 15%, 20%, and 35% CP using diode laser for 5 min. Color measurements were made using spectrophotometer. Data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA, repeated measures of ANOVA, and Tukey post hoc test. Results: 35% concentration of CP gave similar mean shade (ΔE) value at T2, as 15% CP at T3. At T3, 15% concentration of CP using diode laser for 2.5 min gave similar mean shade (ΔE) value, as 35% concentration of CP using diode laser for 2.5 min. Conclusion: 35% CP causes change in chroma and whitens the tooth at a faster rate with a significantly more lightening effect. Bleaching twice weekly produces a similar effect when using high or low concentrations of CP. Laser-assisted bleaching decreases the time of whitening process.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of four over-the-counter (OTC) bleaching products on the properties of enamel. Extracted human molars were randomly assigned into four groups (n = 5): PD: Poladay (SDI), WG: White Teeth Global (White Teeth Global), CW: Crest3DWhite (Procter & Gamble), and HS: HiSmile (HiSmile). The hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) content in each product was analyzed via titration. Twenty teeth were sectioned into quarters, embedded in epoxy resin, and polished. Each quarter-tooth surface was treated with one of the four beaching times: T0: control/no-bleaching, T14: 14 days, T28: 28 days, and T56: 56 days. Materials were applied to enamel surfaces as recommended. Enamel surfaces were examined for ultramicrohardness (UMH), elastic modulus (EM), superficial roughness (Sa), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ten additional teeth were used to evaluate color and degree of demineralization (DD) (n = 5). Data were statistically tested by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's tests (α = 5%). Enamel surfaces treated with PD and WG presented UMH values significantly lower than the controls (p < .05). Elastic modulus (E) was significantly reduced at T14 and T28 for PD, and at T14 for HS (p < .05). A significant increase in Sa was observed for CW at T14 (p < .05). Color changes were observed in the PD and WG groups. Additionally, DD analysis showed significant demineralization at T56 for CW. Overall, more evident morphological alterations were observed for bleaching products with higher concentrations of H2 O2 (p < .05), PD, and WG. Over-the-counter bleaching products containing H2 O2 can significantly alter enamel properties, especially when application time is extended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness and tooth sensitivity (TS) of 37.5% hydrogen peroxide (37.5HP) in-office bleaching with reduced protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty participants with shade mean C2 or darker for the six maxillary anterior teeth were randomly allocated into two treatment groups (n = 20): two (37.5HP2) or three (37.5HP3) 8 min applications/clinical session. Three clinical sessions were performed with a 1 week interval. Color evaluations were done with a spectrophotometer at baseline and 1 week post-bleaching. TS was measured during and up to 48 h after bleaching using a five-point numeric rating scale. Color change was evaluated by Student's t-test for independent samples. The absolute risk and intensity of TS were analyzed by Fisher's and Mann-Whitney/Friedman tests (p < 0.05). RESULT Both treatment groups resulted in a significant tooth whitening 1 week post-bleaching (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between 37.5HP2 and 37.5HP3 for ΔE*ab , ΔE00 and ∆WID . Also, there were not differences between groups regarding high absolute risk (p = 1.0) and low intensity of TS at all time assessments (p > 0.7). CONCLUSIONS The in-office bleaching with two 37.5% HP applications produced the same whitening degree, risk and intensity of TS to that performed with three gel applications. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians should opt to use a neutral 37.5% HP in-office bleaching gel for two 8 min applications/clinical session because produces the same whitening effectiveness, risk and low intensity of TS as the protocol proposed by manufacturer (three 8 min applications).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the color change and tooth whitening perception in 2 and 3 mm dental specimens simulating the orthodontic bracket for a 14-day period. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty bovine tooth fragments (8 × 7 mm) of 2 mm (G2, n = 20) and 3 mm (G3, n = 20) were divided into Control (C: without bracket simulation and whitening) and Experimental (E: with composite resin simulating orthodontic bracket cementation area). Analyses of color change (ΔE00 ) and perception of tooth whitening (WID ) were performed before (T0 ) and after (T1 ) the first bleaching session; before (T2 ) and after (T3 ) the second bleaching session; and after 7 days of the second bleaching session (T4 ). RESULTS After 14 days (T4), ΔE00 and WID showed similarity results, except for G2C and G3E. The thickness did not influence the ΔE00 and WID (G2C = G3C and G2E = G3E). The presence of orthodontic bracket did not interfere in the color change or tooth whitening perception after 14 days, except for comparison of G2C and G3E. Additionally, dentin thickness did not influence the color change. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Teeth with orthodontic brackets showed similar color change and whitening perception to teeth without orthodontic bracket, but it is not influenced by dentin thickness.

Abstract
Carbamide peroxide (CP) possesses a strong tooth bleaching activity, however, its clinical application is limited because of its instability in aqueous formulations. This study explores the improvement of CP stability and bleaching activity by loading CP in electrospun nanofibrous film (ENF). Polyvinylalcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and silica were used as components for core-based nanofibers of ENF. Electrospinning feed aqueous solutions (EFASs) were developed for preparing CP loaded ENF (CP-ENF). Stability of CP in EFASs is significantly higher than in pure water. The highest stability of CP is found in PPS-CP3, composed of 0.5% CP, 5.5% polyvinylalcohol, 3% polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 1% silica. The results from X-ray diffraction indicate that CP is dispersed as a non-crystalline form in CP-ENFs. CP and the compositions of EFASs play a major role on characteristics and bleaching efficiency of CP-ENFs. Drug release of CP-ENFs is the first order kinetics. CP-ENF obtained from PPS-CP3 shows the highest drug entrapment efficiency, high adhesion, and suitable sustained release. Drug release mechanism is along with anomalous transport according to Korsmeyer-Peppas model. In an ex vivo study using human teeth, it shows the highest bleaching efficiency among the others. Therefore, CP-ENF obtained from PPS-CP3 is a promising ENF for clinical use.

OBJECTIVE To answer the following research question: "Dolow/medium hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentrations used for in-office bleaching in patients with permanent dentition have similar color change and bleaching sensitivity (BS) to high HP concentrations?" DATA Randomized controlled trials that compared low/medium vs. high concentrate HP were included. The risk of bias (RoB) was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Meta-analyses were conducted for color change (ΔE*ab, ΔSGU/SGU), risk, and intensity of BS, using the random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed with the Cochrane Q test, I2 statistics, and prediction interval. The GRADE assessed the certainty of the evidence. SOURCES Search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane Library, BBO, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science and grey literature on 15th September 2018 (updated on 13th May 2020). STUDY SELECTION 25 studies remained. Five were at low RoB; thirteen were at unclear RoB, and seven were at high RoB. The risk of having BS was, on average, 33 % lower (RR = 0.67; 95 % CI 0.51 to 0.86) for low/medium concentrate HP than high HP. No significant difference in color change was detected among groups, except from the subgroup low vs. high HP for the immediate color change, but this difference is not clinically relevant. The certainty of evidence for color change was low and very low, and moderate for the BS. CONCLUSIONS Low and medium hydrogen peroxide concentrate products for in-office bleaching have lower risk and intensity of bleaching sensitivity than the high concentrate hydrogen peroxide group, with no difference in color change efficacy. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The use of low concentrate hydrogen peroxide products may produce the same color change efficacy with the bonus of having lower risk and intensity of bleaching sensitivity. However, the ideal concentration at which this occurs is yet unknown and deserves further investigations. No funding. PROSPERO CRD42018108266.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (35%) regarding tooth sensitivity and color change in tooth bleaching in comparison to low concentrations (6% to 20%). METHODS AND MATERIALS This review was conducted using the criteria of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and is registered on the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42017064493). The PICO question was "Does a concentration of hydrogen peroxide ≥35% using in-office bleaching procedure contribute to greater tooth sensitivity?" A search was made in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. RESULTS Fourteen studies were selected for the qualitative analysis and seven for quantitative analysis. A total of 649 patients were evaluated (mean age: 36.32 years; range: 13.9 to 31 years), and the follow-up period ranged from one week to 12 months. The meta-analysis demonstrated that tooth sensitivity was higher in the patients submitted to treatment involving a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 to 1.03; p=0.04; I 2 : 56%), and a significant difference was found regarding objective color ΔE (1.53; 95% CI: 2.99 to 0.08; p<0.0001; I 2 : 82%) but no significant difference was found regarding subjective color ΔSGU (0.24; CI: 0.75 to 1.23; p<0.00001; I 2 : 89%). CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide causes less tooth sensitivity and better effectiveness in objective color change (ΔE); however, there is no difference between them related to subjective color (ΔSGU).

Prior Application of 10% Potassium Nitrate to Reduce Postbleaching Sensitivity: A Randomized Triple-Blind Clinical Trial. J Evid Based Dent Pract 2020; 20:101406. [PMID: 32473797 DOI: 10.1016/j.jebdp.2020.101406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 08/20/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if the topical application of 10% potassium nitrate applied before in-office bleaching is effective to reduce the risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity (TS), as well as to evaluate if its application can jeopardize color change. MATERIALS AND METHODS A randomized, split-mouth triple-blind clinical trial was conducted on 43 young patients with incisors A2 or darker. Half of the patient's upper arch received either the application of a 10% potassium nitrate or placebo gel for 10 min in a university setting. In-office bleaching was performed in three 15-min applications in two clinical sessions (1-week interval) using 35% hydrogen peroxide. Risk and intensity of TS was recorded with a 0-4 Numeric Rating Scale and a 0-10 Visual Analogue Scale during bleaching, 1 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours after bleaching. Color was evaluated before and 1 month after bleaching with shade guides (Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide) and a spectrophotometer. The risk of TS (McNemar's test) and intensity of TS (Wilcoxon signed-rank for Numeric Rating Scale and paired t-test for Visual Analogue Scale) were statistically evaluated. Color change was compared using paired t-test. Significant level was set at 5%. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in the absolute risks of TS between groups (RR = 1.11; 95% CI 0.97 to 1.27; P = .12), which exceeded 87% for both groups. Similarly, no difference in TS intensities was detected (P > .05). Significant whitening was observed with all color measurement instruments with no difference between groups (P > .05). CONCLUSION The topical application of 10% potassium nitrate, before in-office bleaching, did not reduce the risk and intensity of TS and did not jeopardize color change.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review evaluates the effect of preemptive analgesia on tooth sensitivity induced by in-office tooth bleaching. METHODS The review was structured based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) checklist. The methods were recorded at PROSPERO (CRD42018095440). Randomized clinical trials, studies published in English, and studies in which the efficacy of preemptive analgesia with analgesic and anti-inflammatory medications prior to in-office tooth bleaching was compared with that of placebo were included. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were used for searching. The electronic search provided 373 articles, and seven of them were selected based on the inclusion criteria. RESULTS Immediately after time point, a significant reduction of dental sensitivity was observed in the drug group compared to the control group (p=0.02; mean difference [MD]: -0.90; confidence interval [CI]: -1.63 to -0.16), while there was no significant difference at up to one-hour (p=0.22; MD: -0.42; CI: -1.09 to -0.25), at 1-24-hour (p=0.88; MD: -0.05; CI: -0.61 to 0.72), or 24-48-hour (p=0.69; MD: 0.05; CI: -0.21 to 0.32) time points. The incidence of sensitivity during the procedure was not statistically different between the groups (p=0.64; MD: 0.91; CI: 0.92 to 1.15). The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug group showed a statistically significant reduction (p=0.04; MD: -0.69; CI: -1.36 to -0.03) in tooth sensitivity compared with the other groups. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that the medications analyzed did not interfere with the incidence of sensitivity symptoms. Regarding the intensity, no difference was observed between the drug and placebo groups at the up to one-hour, 1-24-hour, or 24-48-hour time points, and there was a statistically significant difference at the zero-hour time point in favor of the drug group. However, based on the variables that influenced this result, it should be considered with prudence because a small difference was observed.

Abstract
Background:
The clinical evidence relate the effect of associating the in-office and at home vital tooth whitening, describing positive effects on tooth color change and reduction of dental sensitivity.
Objective:
The purpose of this randomized double-blind clinical trial was to evaluate the effect on the shortened application of in-office vital tooth whitening combined with different concentrations of at-home peroxides in the final tooth color change and dental sensitivity.
Methods:
Randomized double-blind clinical trial with 120 participants between 18-65 years, allocated in four tooth whitening treatment groups: G1= Carbamide Peroxide 10% + Hydrogen Peroxide 40%, G2= Carbamide Peroxide 15% + Hydrogen Peroxide 40%, G3= Carbamide Peroxide 20% + Hydrogen Peroxide 40%, G4= Hydrogen Peroxide 10% + Hydrogen Peroxide 40% was conducted. Tooth color was measured at baseline and dental sensitivity and tooth color change during and after treatment.

Bleaching in vital teeth: Combined treatment vs in-office treatment. J Clin Exp Dent 2019; 11:e754-e758. [PMID: 31598205 PMCID: PMC6776400 DOI: 10.4317/jced.56079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2019] [Accepted: 07/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to verify that there will be greater whitening in teeth treated with combined bleaching than in those that have been applied a clinical one and to evaluate the efficiency of the clinical treatment, those cases in which it is not able, or it is not wanted, to carry out the home phase. Material and Methods They were used 66 extracted anterior human teeth, which were divided into two study groups. On the one hand, the clinical group (ClG) consisted of 33 teeth, which were treated with a clinical guideline using 37.5% hydrogen peroxide in a single session of 4 applications of 8 minutes. On the other hand, the combinate group (CoG) consisted of 33 teeth, which were treated with a combined guideline, applying first a clinical treatment as in the ClG and, at home treatment with carbamide peroxide at 16% for 22 days, 90 minutes a day. The colour of the tooth was measured before and after each treatment and was made through an individualized whitening splint with a spectrophotometer. Results The 66 teeth were bleached, showing an increase in luminosity, a drecrease in yellow and a shift towards the green colours, where b (yellow-blue axis) was the only variable with a statistically significant change (p<0.001). The CoG obtained a significantly higher absolute value (p<0.001) than the ClG, being 12.99 for the first one and 19.70 for the second one. Conclusions Combined therapy bleached more than clinical one, but both techniques were effective. In addition, it is affirmed that the clinical could be an alternative in those cases in which it is not able, or it is not wanted, to carry out the home phase. Key words:Carbamide peroxide, CIELab, combined guidelines, dental bleaching, hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to answer this research question: "Does combined in-office (IO) and at-home (AH) bleaching produce improved color change and lower tooth sensitivity (TS) better than solely AH or IO bleaching in adults?" MATERIAL AND METHODS Randomized controlled trials in adults that compared combined versus sole application bleaching were included. The risk of bias (RoB) was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Meta-analyses were conducted for color change in shade guide units (∆SGU) and with a spectrophotometer (∆E*), risk, and intensity of TS, using the random effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed with Cochran's Q test and I2 statistics. GRADE assessed the quality of the evidence. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, BBO, Cochrane Library, SIGLE, IADR abstracts, unpublished, ongoing trial registries, dissertations, and theses were searched on August 28, 2017 (updated on January 29, 2019). RESULTS Twelve studies remained. Two were considered to have low RoB. For combined vs. IO bleaching, no significant difference for ∆E*, ∆SGU, and risk of TS were observed; data were not available to analyze the intensity of TS. For combined vs. AH bleaching, no significant difference for ∆E*, ∆SGU, but lower TS to risk (RR 1.40, 95% 1.10 to 1.80) and intensity (MD 1.40, 95% CI 0.18 to 2.63) were detected for AH bleaching. Quality of evidence was graded as low or very low in all meta-analyses. CONCLUSION Lower risk and intensity of TS was observed for the solely AH group without jeopardizing color change. However, more studies are still encouraged due to the low quality of evidence for most of the outcomes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE If clinicians are to choose between combined or sole AH bleaching, the solely AH may be preferable; combined bleaching may potentiate the risk of TS without benefits in color change. For combined or sole IO bleaching, no important clinical difference in color change and risk of TS were detected; however, intensity of TS could not be compared due to lack of data. Further studies should be conducted due to the low/very low quality of the evidence.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bleaching agents containing different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP) on color-change and on enamel-surface in bovine teeth. Furthermore the influence on cell viability and proliferation was investigated. Two hundred and forty teeth were randomly assigned into four groups (home bleaching ≤6%, in-office bleaching ≤6%, in-office bleaching > 6% HP, and control group). Bleaching was performed after artificial staining and the bleached index (BI) as well as the whiteness index (WID) was measured at several time points. Chemical analysis for HP concentrations and the pH of the bleaching products was done. Furthermore, enamel surfaces of randomly selected specimens were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and cytotoxicity of the tested bleaching products was evaluated in vitro using dental pulp cells (DPCs) and L929 cells. A statistically significant whitening effect was observed in almost all products. As expected all investigated products resulted in decreased cell viability, however, with different values of LC50 (median lethal concentration). SEM analysis showed an analog of enamel alterations with decreasing pH, increasing exposure time, and increasing HP concentration. Bleaching agents containing a low HP concentration are considered to be effective and to have less damaging effects on enamel and tested cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of combining in-office with at-home bleaching procedures in terms of the time required to obtain satisfactory tooth color, final color changes, and tooth sensitivity (TS) reported by patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty-six patients enrolled in this study used 10% carbamide peroxide in a bleaching tray for 1 h/d until satisfactory tooth color was obtained. One-half of the participants underwent a preliminary session of in-office tooth bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide for 45 minutes. The time in days for the patients to obtain satisfactory tooth color by at-home bleaching procedures was recorded. The color change of the maxillary canines was assessed using the Vita Bleachedguide 3D Master scale and a spectrophotometer at 1 week and after the end of bleaching procedures. Participants' satisfaction with their smile was recorded using a visual analog scale, and TS was determined throughout the entire treatment. Data were analyzed by t-test, Mann-Whitney test, or Fisher exact test (α=0.05). RESULTS The combined protocol reduced (by an average of 3.7 days) the time required to obtain satisfactory tooth color but increased the risk and level of TS. No difference in the final tooth color change (around 5.0 shade guide units; ΔE=11.6-14.9), or the level of patients' satisfaction with their smile, was observed. CONCLUSIONS A preliminary session of in-office bleaching reduced the time necessary to obtain satisfactory tooth color with at-home bleaching but increased the risk and level of TS.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Objectives:
A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity (TS) after dental bleaching with a desensitizer-containing and a desensitizer-free bleaching gel in adult patients. Color change and risk of gingival sensitivity was also evaluated.
Methods:
A comprehensive search was performed MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database (LILACS), Brazilian Library in Dentistry (BBO), EMBASE and Cochrane Library, and System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe (SIGLE) without restrictions to identify randomized clinical trials. Abstracts from the annual conference of the International Association for Dental Research (1990–2016), unpublished and ongoing trials registries, dissertations, and theses were also searched. The quality of the evidence was rated using the Grading of Recommendations: Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
Data:
After duplicates were removed, 1352 articles were identified. After title and abstract screening, only 47 studies remained for qualitative evaluation. Most of the studies had unclear risk of bias. No difference between groups were observed for the risk ratio of TS (risk ratio = 0.99; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.74–1.33); intensity of TS (standardized difference in means [SMD] = 0.04; 95% CI = 0.79–0.70); color change in shade guide units (SMD – 0.04; 95% CI = 0.50–0.42); color change in ΔE* (SMD = 0.41 (95% CI = 0.07–0.89); and risk ratio of gingival irritation (SMD = 1.05; 95% CI = 0.81–1.36). Except for the risk of TS, graded as moderate quality of evidence, all other outcomes were rated as low and very low quality.
Conclusions:
Incorporating desensitizers in the bleaching gel did not reduce the risk of TS, and the quality of this evidence was considered moderate. On the other hand, the intensity of TS, color change, and risk of gingival irritation was similar between groups, but the quality of the evidence for these outcomes was graded as low or very low, thus reducing the level of confidence in these outcomes.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the influence of H2 O2 on pulp repair through osteocalcin and osteopontin immunolabelling and in cellular defence by using the antireactive oxygen species (ROS) antibody. METHODOLOGY The maxillary molars of 50 rats were treated with 35% H2 O2 (Ble groups) or placebo gel (control groups). At 0 h and 2, 7, 15 and 30 days (n = 10 hemimaxillae), the rats were killed and pulp tissue was evaluated using inflammation and immunolabelling scores (osteocalcin/osteopontin); ROS-positive cells were counted. Paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used (P < 0.05). RESULTS The Ble group had necrosis in the coronal pulp at 0 h and in the occlusal third of the coronal pulp at 2 days; at 7, 15 and 30 days, no inflammation was noted similar to the controls (P > 0.05). Osteocalcin was absent in the Ble at 0 h, moderate at 2 days and increased thereafter, differing from the controls at all two periods (P < 0.05). Osteopontin was higher principally at 7 and 15 days in Ble groups, but differing with control groups from 2 days after bleaching (P < 0.05). The Ble group had more ROS-positive cells in the pulp at 7 and 15 days (P < 0.05). Tertiary dentine was observed at 7 days, increasing thereafter (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Post-bleaching pulp repair was associated with increased osteocalcin over time. Osteopontin also participated in this process, and anti-ROS was involved in cellular defence against H2 O2 .

Abstract
This controlled randomized clinical trial evaluated the effect of associating at-home and in-office bleaching procedures on tooth sensitivity (TS) and bleaching effectiveness. Forty patients subjected to on session of in-office bleaching with 38% peroxide hydrogen. Subsequently, the patients were randomly allocated to receive a second session of in-office bleaching or to use a tray containing 10% carbamide peroxide delivered during 7 consecutive days. The worst TS score reported during or after each bleaching procedure was recorded using a verbal rating scale and TS risk (score different from 0) was calculated. Color changes were measured 7 days after each in-office session (for patients receiving in-office procedures only) or after the end of at-home bleaching (for the combined protocol), and 6 months after the last procedure for both bleaching protocols. Color was assessed by a spectrophotometer and by color match with the Vita Classical and Bleach guide scales. Statistical analyses were carried out to assess possible differences between the protocols regarding the outcomes and to analyze the effect of time of assessment on color changes. The bleaching protocol did not affect the risk for and the maximum level of TS reported, irrespective of the time of assessment. In the color evaluation, the bleaching protocol also did not affect the ultimate tooth color. In conclusion, after one in-office bleaching session, there was no difference in bleaching effectiveness and TS between performing a second in-office session and associating it with 1-week at-home bleaching.

Abstract
Objectives A single-blinded, randomized, parallel clinical trial evaluated the use of 37% carbamide peroxide (CP) on bleaching effectiveness and tooth sensitivity reported by patients undergoing in-office tooth bleaching, in comparison with the results of using 35% hydrogen peroxide. Material and Methods Forty patients were allocated to receive two sessions of in-office tooth bleaching using either 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) or 37% CP. Each patient’s sensitivity level was evaluated during and up to 24 h after bleaching. The effectiveness of the bleaching procedures was evaluated with a spectrophotometer one week after each session and 30 days after the last session. The impact of tooth bleaching on the patients’ perceptions regarding smile changes, in addition to the bleaching procedures and their results, were also recorded. Absolute and relative sensitivity risks were calculated. Data on sensitivity level were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney or T-test, and data from the color evaluation were subjected to 2-way repeated measures ANOVA. Results The use of CP reduced the risk and level of tooth sensitivity to values close to zero, whereas the difference between the bleaching agents disappeared after 24 h. An increased bleaching effect was observed for HP, mainly due to an improved reduction of redness and yellowness. Participants perceived improved tooth bleaching for HP and reduced sensitivity for CP, but no differences regarding the comfort of the techniques were noted. Conclusions In our study, 37% CP resulted in reduced tooth sensitivity but decreased the tooth bleaching effectiveness. However, both bleaching agents resulted in high levels of patient satisfaction.

[PMID: 29550020 DOI: 10.1016/j.adaj.2017.11.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2017] [Revised: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 11/02/2017] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth sensitivity commonly occurs during and immediately after dental bleaching. The authors conducted a trial to compare tooth sensitivity after in-office bleaching after the use of either a topical dipyrone or placebo gel. METHODS A split-mouth, triple-blind, randomized, multicenter clinical trial was conducted among 120 healthy adults having teeth that were shade A2 or darker. The facial tooth surfaces of the right or left sides of the maxillary arch of each patient were randomly assigned to receive either topical dipyrone or placebo gel before 2 in-office bleaching sessions (35% hydrogen peroxide) separated by 2 weeks. Visual analog and numerical rating scales were used to record tooth sensitivity during and up to 48 hours after bleaching. Tooth color change from baseline to 1 month after bleaching was measured with shade guide and spectrophotometer measures. The primary outcome variable was absolute risk of tooth sensitivity. An intention-to-treat analysis was used to analyze data from all patients who were randomly assigned to receive the dipyrone and placebo gels. RESULTS No statically significant difference was found in the absolute risk of tooth sensitivity between the dipyrone and placebo gels (83% and 90%, respectively, P = .09; relative risk, 0.92; 95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 1.0). A whitening effect was observed in both groups with no statistically significant difference (P > .05) between them. No adverse effects were observed. CONCLUSION Topical use of dipyrone gel before tooth bleaching, at the levels used in this study, did not reduce the risk or intensity of bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS Topical application of dipyrone gel does not reduce bleaching-induced tooth sensitivity.

Preemptive use of etodolac on tooth sensitivity after in-office bleaching: a randomized clinical trial. J Appl Oral Sci 2018; 26:e20160473. [PMID: 29412363 PMCID: PMC5777424 DOI: 10.1590/1678-7757-2016-0473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2016] [Accepted: 07/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study determined the effectiveness of the preemptive administration of etodolac on risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity and the bleaching effect caused by in-office bleaching using 35% hydrogen peroxide. Material and methods Fifty patients were selected for this tripleblind, randomized, crossover, and placebo-controlled clinical trial. Etodolac (400 mg) or placebo was administrated in a single-dose 1 hour prior to the bleaching procedure. The whitening treatment with 35% hydrogen peroxide was carried out in two sessions with a 7-day interval. Tooth sensitivity was assessed before, during, and 24 hours after the procedure using the analog visual scale and the verbal rating scale. Color alteration was assessed by a bleach guide scale, 7 days after each session. Relative risk of sensitivity was calculated and adjusted by session, while overall risk was compared by the McNemar's test. Data on the sensitivity level of both scales and color shade were subjected to Friedman, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests, respectively (α=0.05). Results The preemptive administration of etodolac did not affect the risk of tooth sensitivity and the level of sensitivity reported, regardless of the time of evaluation and scale used. The sequence of treatment allocation did not affect bleaching effectiveness, while the second session resulted in additional color modification. The preemptive administration of etodolac in a single dose 1 hour prior to in-office tooth bleaching did not alter tooth color, and the risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity reported by patients. Conclusion A single-dose preemptive administration of 400 mg of etodolac did not affect either risk of tooth sensitivity or level of sensitivity reported by patients, during or after the in-office tooth bleaching procedure.

Evaluation of several clinical parameters after bleaching with hydrogen peroxide at different concentrations: A randomized clinical trial. J Dent 2017; 68:91-97. [PMID: 29169968 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2017.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2017] [Revised: 11/09/2017] [Accepted: 11/19/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This randomized double-blind clinical trial compared tooth sensitivity (TS), bleaching efficacy, and cytokine levels after applying in-office bleaching treatments containing 15% and 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP15% and HP35%, respectively). METHODS Twenty-five volunteers were randomly assigned to receive HP15% or HP35% treatment. The bleaching agent was applied in three 15-min applications per session. Two bleaching sessions were separated by a 1-week interval. The participants scored TS using a visual analog scale and numerical rating scale. Bleaching efficacy was determined by subjective and objective methods. Gingival crevicular fluid was collected from three jaws sites per patient for the analysis of fluid volume. Flow cytometry was used to analyze gingival crevicular fluid levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor, and interferon-gamma. All measurements were obtained before and after bleaching. All data were statistically analyzed (α=0.05). RESULTS The absolute risk and intensity of TS was higher for HP35% than for HP15% (p>0.002). One month post-bleaching, HP35% produced more bleaching than HP15% (p=0.02). However patient perception (p=0.06) and patient satisfaction (p=0.53) with regard to bleaching were not significantly different. No significant differences existed in the gingival fluid volume (p>0.38) or in any cytokine level (p>0.05) for either HP concentration. CONCLUSION Treatment: with HP35% is more effective than HP15%, but generates a greater risk and intensity of TS. No inflammatory changes occurred despite the difference in the HP concentrations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Hydrogen peroxide at a lower concentration (e.g., 15%) should be considered a good treatment alternative for in-office bleaching because the higher concentration for in-office bleaching generates a greater risk and intensity of TS for patients.

Randomized clinical trials of dental bleaching - Compliance with the CONSORT Statement: a systematic review. Braz Oral Res 2017; 31:e60. [PMID: 28902240 DOI: 10.1590/1807-3107bor-2017.vol31.0060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2017] [Accepted: 05/22/2017] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
We reviewed the literature to evaluate: a) The compliance of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on bleaching with the CONSORT; and b) the risk of bias of these studies using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool (CCRT). We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed and other electronic databases, to find RCTs focused on bleaching (or whitening). The articles were evaluated in compliance with CONSORT in a scale: 0 = no description, 1 = poor description and 2 = adequate description. Descriptive analyses of the number of studies by journal, follow-up period, country and quality assessments were performed with CCRT for assessing risk of bias in RCTs. 185 RCTs were included for assessment. More than 30% of the studies received score 0 or 1. Protocol, flow chart, allocation concealment and sample size were more critical items, as 80% of the studies scored 0. The overall CONSORT score for the included studies was 16.7 ± 5.4 points, which represents 52.2% of the maximum CONSORT score. A significant difference among journal, country and period of time was observed (p < 0.02). Only 7.6% of the studies were judged at "low" risk; 62.1% were classified as "unclear"; and 30.3% as "high" risk of bias. The adherence of RCTs evaluating bleaching materials and techniques to the CONSORT is still low with unclear/high risk of bias.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of whitening mouth rinses on teeth previously whitened or not, exposed to food dyes.
Methods and Materials:
One hundred twenty enamel-dentin specimens, 3 mm in diameter, were obtained from bovine incisors. The specimens were stained for 14 days in staining broth. After staining, the initial color reading was performed via a spectrophotometer CM-2600d (Konica Minolta). Half of specimens were submitted to whitening (10% carbamide peroxide [CP]) for 14 days. They were then divided into three groups and were submitted to cycles of staining (five minutes) and mouth rinses (two minutes) for 12 weeks, with the following: CP-LI, Listerine Whitening; CP-PL, Plax Whitening; CP-BP, bromelain + papain; CP-DW, deionized water. LI, PL, BP, and DW groups were submitted to the same cited cycles but with no prior bleaching. The color measurements were performed after four, eight, and 12 weeks of treatment with mouth rinses. Data were submitted to repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's test for multiple comparisons, with significance level at 5%.
Results:
The results showed that the CP-LI, CP-PL, LI, and PL groups had greater color change than did the others. The CP-BP and BP groups were similar to CP-DW and DW.
Conclusions:
We therefore conclude that Listerine Whitening mouth rinse presented the highest bleaching effect, followed by Plax Whitening mouth rinse. Both maintained CP bleaching effect after 12 weeks of dye-rinse cycles. However, none of these rinses were able to produce whitening similar to CP. Bromelain- and papain-containing mouth rinses did not show bleaching effect, being similar to the control groups.

Effect of acidity of in-office bleaching gels on tooth sensitivity and whitening: a two-center double-blind randomized clinical trial. Clin Oral Investig 2017; 21:2811-2818. [PMID: 28303471 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-017-2083-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2016] [Accepted: 02/16/2017] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study aimed to compare the tooth sensitivity (TS) and bleaching efficacy of two hydrogen peroxide gels with different pHs (acid pH [Pola Office, SDI] and the neutral pH [Pola Office+, SDI]) used for in-office bleaching. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients from Brazil and Chile, with right superior incisor darker than A2, were selected for this double-blind, split-mouth randomized trial. Teeth were bleached in two sessions, with 1-week interval. Each session had three applications of 8 min each, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The color changes were evaluated by subjective (Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide) and objective (Easy shade spectrophotometer) methods. Participants recorded TS with 0-10 visual analog scale. Color change in shade guide units (SGU) and ΔE was analyzed by Student's t test (α = 0.05). The absolute risk and intensity of TS were evaluated by McNemar's test and Wilcoxon-paired test, respectively (α = 0.05). RESULTS All groups achieved the same level of whitening after 30 days of clinical evaluation. The use of a neutral in-office bleaching gel significantly decreases the absolute risk of TS (28%, 95% CI 18-41) and intensity of TS when compared to the acid bleaching gel (absolute risk of 50%, 95% CI 37-63). CONCLUSION The use of a neutral in-office bleaching agent gel produced the same whitening degree than an acid bleaching gel but with reduced risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians should opt to use in-office bleaching with a neutral gel than an acid product because the former causes a significant lower risk and intensity of tooth sensitivity.
