Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome will assess the absolute risk of dental sensitivity resulting from teeth whitening when an acidic pH gel was used.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the effectiveness of in-office whitening using 35% pH gels in different pHs, through color scales (Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide) and spectrometer Vita Easyshade (?Eab, ?E00, ?WID)
