NCT03688893

Brief Summary

Objective: To establish the efficacy of laser application with chemical treatment in dental bleaching compared to chemical treatment alone. Methods: The investigators conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT), single blind (evaluator), in 24 patients randomized to laser and chemical intervention (12) or chemical intervention aloe (12). The commercial products used were Whiteness Hp 35% Hydrogen Peroxide and the LASER of DCM Equipments. The trial outcome measures were obtained using the Vita EasyShade Spectrophotometer and the International CIELCh system. To stablish differences before vs. after treatments and between groups, the T test and chi2 tests were applied.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Dental Color Stage 1(Before Intervention)

    The measure of the color was done to the superior canines by just one evaluator. It was done with the Vita Easyshade Spectrophotometer. To improve precision off the data, measures were taken 3 times in all superior canines studied. The Investigators used the values L, C,H.

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

  • Dental Color Stage 2 (30 minutes after dental bleaching)

    The measure of the color was done to the superior canines by just one evaluator. It was done with the Vita Easyshade Spectrophotometer. To improve precision off the data, measures were taken 3 times in all superior canines studied. The Investigators used the values L, C,H.

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

  • Dental Color Stage 3 (3 days after dental bleaching)

    The measure of the color was done to the superior canines by just one evaluator. It was done with the Vita Easyshade Spectrophotometer. To improve precision off the data, measures were taken 3 times in all superior canines studied. The Investigators used the values L, C,H.

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

  • Change in Color (Stage 3 - Stage 1)

    The difference in color was calculated using the international accepted system CIELCh (11,18-19). The formula is ∆E\* = \[(∆L\*)2 + (∆C\*)2 + (∆h\*)2\] ½; were L is Luminosity, C is Chroma and h is Hue. The higher difference in color will show the better intervention.

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

  • Change in Color (Stage 2 - Stage 1)

    The difference in color was calculated using the international accepted system CIELCh (11,18-19). The formula is ∆E\* = \[(∆L\*)2 + (∆C\*)2 + (∆h\*)2\] ½; were L is Luminosity, C is Chroma and h is Hue. The higher difference in color will show the better intervention.

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Immediate Dental Sensitivity

    through study completion, an average of 3 days

  • Mediate Dental Sensitivity

    through study completion, an average of 3 days
