Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| All concentrations of carbamide peroxide (10%, 16% and 22%) are expected to provide satisfactory tooth whitening, with a significant improvement in tooth color (?E =3.0) and high patient satisfaction (OES scores =7/10). It is anticipated that prior use of the 2% desensitizer will effectively reduce the occurrence and intensity of dentin sensitivity during and after treatment. The results should prove the safety of the protocols, with a low incidence of adverse effects, maintaining whitening efficacy at all concentrations tested, thus offering safe and reliable alternatives for different clinical needs. | — |
