Efectividad del aclaramiento dental con peróxido de hidrógeno 35% y 40% en Clínica UCSG smestre A-2019.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental bleaching is an important treatment in professional practice as dentists due to its high demand. Hydrogen peroxide is most often used in bleaching treatments within the office. The change in brightness, before and after the placement of the bleaching agent will be the most important factor, since the lightness and darkness of the dental substrate will measure us. Objective: To identify the efficacy of the two types of dental bleaching gels based on 35% and 40% hydrogen peroxide and establish an appropriate quality for use as a lightening in the office. Materials and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional and clinical study was conducted in which 31 patients were evaluated. The change in dental brightness is determined by digital photographs with polarizing filter in the upper central incisors. Results: The sample was mostly composed of women (67%), most often of the young age group (87%). Smoking was present in 58% of the sample. A greater potential for clarification is evidenced by 40% hydrogen peroxide. Dental sensitivity is a common side effect to tooth clearance. Conclusion: 40% hydrogen peroxide has a slightly higher lightening potential; however, it has a higher prevalence of dental sensitivity.
