Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that, should tooth sensitivity occur during whitening treatment, it will be controlled with the use of desensitizing toothpastes. The intensity of sensitivity will be measured using an electronic form Google Forms, with a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 represents the absence of dentin sensitivity and 10 the most intense painful sensation. The links will be sent individually to volunteers at three different times: 24 hours, 48 ??hours, and 7 days after each whitening session. From the responses, an average value will be calculated for each group, allowing for the evaluation of the effectiveness of sensitivity control. An improvement of approximately 30% is expected compared to the group receiving the placebo. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An improvement in tooth color is expected after the whitening treatment, and colorimetric evaluation will be performed before (T1) and after treatment (T2) using a spectrophotometer (Vitaeasyshade®). This will allow us to verify whether or not the use of the toothpastes interfered with the color result. | — |
