Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate whether the clinical performance of a bleaching dentifrice composed of abrasive particles of optimized silica, desensitizing agent and optical effect dyes is different from that promoted by a conventional dentifrice. The efficacy of bleaching will be given by the difference between the color of the upper and upper central incisors before and after each period of use of the dental gels, being evaluated using VITA EasyShade Vivadent Spectrophotometer, also using ScanWhite software, by visual comparison Using the Vita Classical scale and the participant's visual self-assessment using the Vita Classical scale. The ability to reduce staining of the dental surface will be assessed by the Modified Lobene Dental Stain Index made by a calibrated examiner, having scores for each of the 4 areas of the buccal surface of the evaluated elements (central and upper canines), evaluating both the extent of surface spotting. The discomfort will be determined by the evaluation of the cervical dentinal sensitivity and by the side effects, where the sensitivity will be evaluated by the trained, calibrated and blinded examiner for which treatment was used, doing two clinical tests: evaporative thermometer assisted by the triple syringe, using its jet of Air in the cervical region of the evaluated elements; And pressure test, done with an exploratory catheter also in the cervical region of the evaluated teeth. Both the evaporative and pressure thermal tests will be self-recorded by the participant in the visual analogue scale, with a score of 0 to 10, the level of sensitivity will be given by the difference between the sensitivity recorded at baseline and at the end of the study. The side effects, if any, will be recorded according to their intensity, on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 is absent, 1 is mild, 2 moderate and 3 is severe. The evaluation time for this study will be 30 days, where it will be divided into: Baseline (T0), Immediately after the first use of the gel (T1), sev | — |
