Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Patients older than 18 years of age. Male and female. With good general and oral health. Teeth free of caries lesions. Have teeth in color A2 or darker according to the Vita Classical scale (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany) and that they agree with the informed consent term (TCLE).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Will be excluded volunteers who have already undergone dental bleaching. Who have dental prosthesis; previous dental sensitivity; severe dental dimming by pathologies or medications; fixed orthodontic appliance. Who are pregnant or breastfeeding and who are making continuous use of some medicine that reduces the sensitivity dental.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: Number of patients reporting spontaneous pain at some time during the dental bleaching technique and up to 48 hours after the procedure, through self-report. This number will be transformed into a percentage of patients with pain and will be called absolute risk of dental sensitivity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome: The intensity of dental sensitivity will be evaluated using the 5-point numerical scale (NRS 0-4) and the VAS analogue visual scale (0-10) and will be presented as mean and standard deviation at different periods (during tooth whitening , Up to 1 h, from 1 h to 24 h and from 24 to 48 h post-bleaching);Expected outcome: The color difference between the initial condition and 1 month after bleaching will be assessed using the Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide color scales and also with the Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer. The data will be presented in the form of means and standard deviations.
