CLAREAMENTO DENTAL: DESCRIÇÃO DE CASOS CLÍNICOS QUE OBTIVERAM SUCESSO ESTÉTICO APÓS O CLAREAMENTO DENTAL CASEIRO

Abstract

Dental bleaching offers a conservative, simplified, and low cust approach to change the color of discoloured teeth. Current bleaching techniques include a dentist-prescribed in-office technique, an at-home applied technique, or a combination of both. The pigments oxidation is responsible for tooth bleaching and can be carried out with two different products; carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. Usually the protocols for at-home bleaching include custom trays use and bleaching agents in lower concentrations. Carbamide peroxide is currently found in low concentrations for at-home technique and high concentrations for in-office technique are available. On the other hand, hydrogen peroxide was typically indicated in high concentrations for in-office bleaching but nowadays is available in low concentrations for at-home protocols. This paper describes clinical cases performed with bleaching systems and different techniques by the use of hydrogen and carbamide peroxide bleaching agents available in the market. The at-home vital bleaching was effective with 10% carbamide peroxide or with 6.5% hydrogen peroxide in polyethylene strips.
