Brief Summary
A prospective, non-randomized, single-arm interventional clinical study with a before-after design will be conducted to assess changes in CIELab color parameters and the Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID) following a standardized combined dental bleaching protocol. The study aims to evaluate the contribution of the a\* parameter (green-red axis) to overall dental whiteness.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID)
Change in WID values calculated from CIELab parameters (L\*, a\*, b\*) between baseline and the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
From baseline to end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change in L* parameter
Baseline to end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
Change in a* parameter
Baseline to end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
Change in b* parameter
Baseline to end of treatment (up to 12 weeks)
Correlation between WID and CIELab parameters
At end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
Study Arms (1)
Combined Dental Bleaching
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will undergo a combined dental bleaching treatment consisting of an in-office phase followed by an at-home phase using custom trays.
Interventions
The intervention consists of an in-office bleaching phase with two 20-minute applications of 40% hydrogen peroxide, followed by an at-home bleaching phase using 16% carbamide peroxide applied with custom trays for 90 minutes daily. Treatment will continue until color stabilization is achieved, defined as a change in WID of less than 2.6 units between two consecutive weekly measurements.
