Tooth Bleaching
Conditions
Brief summary
Evaluating the effect of a desensitizing agent on post-bleaching hypersensitivity.
Detailed description
A randomized clinical trail will be done to evaluate the effect of a desensitizing agent ACP oral care gel in comparison to a control group on hypersensitivity after bleaching using a visual analogue scale.
Interventions
a desensitizing agent will be applied on tooth before and/or after bleaching
glycrin will be applied on tooth surface before and/or after bleaching
