Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find changes in the pulp oxygen saturation levels, observed with the use of the pulse oximeter, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention measurements (use of the bleaching gels). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Check the increase in the painful sensitivity of the dental elements, with the use of an analogue pain scale completed by the patient after each intervention, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;It is expected to verify less dental sensitivity with the use of the whitening gel associated with the desensitizer, by comparing the results obtained between the whitening gels, after the filling of the analogue pain scale by the patients, from the finding of a variation of at least 5% in the patients. pre- and post-intervention results. | — |
