NCT03089216

Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to evaluate the efficacy and dental sensitivity associated with Combined Bleaching Technique (in-office + at-home) varying in-office bleaching application under two different time protocols, and dentifrice containing arginine 8% and carbonate calcium use. One hundred eight participants who meet the study inclusion criteria will be selected. The desensitizing agent used will be a dentifrice containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate. In each evaluation will be determined: tooth sensitivity and color. The data collected will be submitted to the factorial statistical analysis for evaluation of color and chi-square test for tooth sensitivity (α = 5%).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Tooth Sensitivity (TS)

    Tooth sensitivity (TS) was evaluated using a five-point rating scale (NRS), in which 0 = none (minimum value), 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = considerable, and 4 = severe (maximum value); and a visual analogue scale (VAS) in wich each participant placed a line perpendicular to a 10-cm-long line (on which 0 referred to "no pain" (minimum value) and 10 referred to "severe pain" (maximum value)). Tooth sensitivity (TS) was evaluated during bleaching, and up to 48 hours postbleaching. The worst TS score or numeric value obtained in each assessment was considered for statistical purposes. It was calculated an average to obtain the median.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Color Evaluation

    The evaluations were performed in the baseline period and one month after the treatment
