Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Smoking (using the color evaluation method, micronucleus test, and evaluation of dentinal sensitivity, it will be sought to verify whether smoking patients are less effective in tooth whitening, less dentin hypersensitivity and greater cell genotoxicity). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Tooth color change (color coordinates will be recorded and color differences between smokers and non-smokers at different times will be calculated with the CIELAB (?E * ab) and CIEDE2000 (?E00) equations before and after the bleaching procedure). It is expected to find a lower degree of tooth whitening in the group of smoking patients.;Genotoxicity of the oral mucosa (the number of micronuclei and metanuclear changes will be assessed in smoking and non-smoking patients, prior to and after the tooth whitening procedure). It is expected to find a higher degree of genotoxicity in the group of smoking patients.;Dental hypersensitivity (will be available in the group of smokers and non-smokers, and after the whitening procedure, using the Visual Analogue Scale). It is expected to find a higher degree of sensitivity in the group of smoking patients. | — |
