Tooth Sensitivity
Conditions
Interventions
This is a split-mouth, double-blind, randomized clinical trial. Test group: 30 healthy individuals, with A2 teeth darkened according to the visual scale or darker, one side drawn received a desensitiz
Statistical analysis was conducted by a blinded researcher, who was unaware of which treatment protocol had been applied in each experimental group.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate the tooth sensitivity felt during in-office bleaching (45 minutes - measuring every 5 minutes), one hour after, 24 hours and 48 hours after removal of the bleaching agent. Verified by the method of a visual scale with 5 scores (from 0 to 4): 0 - indicates absence of sensitivity; 1 – mild sensitivity; 2 – moderate sensitivity; 3 – considerable sensitivity and 4 – severe sensitivity. It was observed that the reduction in sensitivity during and after tooth bleaching occurred in the same way between the experimental groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate promoted color change. It was verified through a comparison between the tooth color before tooth whitening and the tooth color after tooth whitening, both were measured with a standardized visual scale - Vitta scale. A reduction in tooth color saturation was observed for both experimental groups equally. | — |
