Effect of Glutaraldehyde-Based Desensitizer on Control of Tooth Sensitivity and Tooth Color Post-bleaching: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objectives:  This randomized, controlled, single-blind, split-mouth clinical study evaluated the effect of the application of a glutaraldehyde-based desensitizer on the prevention of tooth sensitivity (TS) and the changes in the color of the teeth after bleaching.

Materials And Methods:  Twenty-five patients were selected for participation in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The patients' right and left hemiarches were randomized into two groups: the placebo group, which received distilled water application and whitening treatment, and the Gluma group, which received Gluma application, followed by whitening treatment.

Influence of blue and violet LED and infrared laser on the temperature of bleaching protocols in different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

Background: The photo-acceleration of bleaching gels by lights has been extensively researched. However, the induced temperature increase during this process needs to be further evaluated to prevent damage to the dental pulp. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the surface and intrapulpal temperature kinetics of different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (HP) gels photo-accelerated by blue or violet light and infrared laser.

Influence of smoking on the effectiveness of tooth whitening: a systematic review.

Objectives: Perform a systematic review to evaluate the influence of smoking on the effectiveness of tooth whitening (TW) and to analyze whether tooth sensitivity is different between smokers and non-smokers.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review modeled according to the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane, Scopus, and OpenGrey databases were searched for related clinical trials.

Effect of 1.5% potassium oxalate on sensitivity control, color change, and quality of life after at-home tooth whitening: A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.

Objective: This clinical trial evaluated the effect of 1.5% potassium oxalate (PO) in controlling sensitivity and color change after at-home tooth whitening. It also evaluated the influence of PO on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the degree of patient satisfaction after bleaching treatment.
