Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the reduction of dentin sensitivity after dental bleaching in teeth subjected to low-power laser application compared to the control side without laser, verified using the visual analog pain scale, using a numerical scale from 0 to 10, in which 0 corresponds to the absence of sensitivity and 10 to severe sensitivity, observing and comparing the variations in average sensitivity scores between the sides with and without laser application at 1 day, 7 days and 15 days after the dental bleaching procedure. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify that laser intervention does not negatively interfere with the degree of whitening achieved, contributing to strengthening the proposal for the alternative use of photobiomodulation without compromising the final aesthetic result. | — |
