Objectives: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of in-office bleaching with violet LED light (LED) alone or combined with carbamide (CP) or hydrogen (HP) peroxides.
Methods: Volunteers of a previous short-term study were recalled for 6- and 12-month follow-ups, according to the following interventions (n = 18/group): LED, CP, LED/CP, HP, and LED/HP. The objective color (ΔE, ΔE) and whiteness index (ΔWI) changes were calculated applying the CIELab coordinates' values obtained using a spectrophotometer. A visual shade guide determined the tooth's subjective color change (ΔSGU). Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA or Welch's ANOVA, following appropriate post hoc tests (α = 5%).
Results: The LED and CP groups exhibited the lowest ΔE, ΔE, and ΔSGU (p < 0.05), but the LED group displayed a significantly lower ΔWI. After 12 months, the LED/CP group presented a higher ΔE and ΔE than the CP group (p < 0.05). ΔE, ΔE, ΔSGU, or ΔWI means did not differ statistically between the LED/CP and HP groups. The LED/HP group presented a higher ΔE than the HP group, regardless of the time.
Conclusions: The bleaching efficacy of LED alone was significantly lower compared to the LED/CP and HP-containing protocols. After 12 months, the LED/CP and HP groups did not differ in bleaching efficacy. LED irradiation only increased the objective color change of bleaching gels.
Clinical Relevance: LED alone promoted a long-term perceptible bleaching, but not compatible with that of high-concentrated HP. The bleaching outcomes of violet irradiation to 37% CP were maintained over time, with LED/CP demonstrating comparable results to HP even after 12 months.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of using a 3D model with human dental pulp cells (HDPCs) to compare bleaching therapies and assess whether coating enamel with a nanofiber scaffold (NS) and polymeric catalyst primer (PCP), combined with violet LED (LEDv) irradiation, enhances bleaching efficacy (BE) and reduces cytotoxicity (CT).
Materials And Methods: After using NS + PCP to cover enamel of enamel/dentin discs adapted to artificial pulp chambers containing 3D culture with HDPCs, a bleaching gel with 35%HO was applied and then irradiated with LEDv. The following groups were established (n = 8): NC - no treatment; PC- 35%HO for 45 min, and EXP: NS + PCP + 35%HO + LEDv for 15 min.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity (TS) of participants submitted to different application protocols of in-office bleaching with violet light using 6 % hydrogen peroxide (HP) nanoparticulate photocatalyst gel.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-six participants were randomized and bleached using either a 6 % HP (Nano White, DMC), and/or violet light (Bright Max Whitening, MMOptics), according to the following protocols: 1) only violet light (VIOL); 2) only bleaching gel application (BG) and; 3) combined bleaching gel application + violet light (BG+VIOL). The bleaching efficacy was evaluated with the Vita Easyshade spectrophotometer, Vita Classical and Vita Bleachedguide scales.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and cytotoxicity of experimental 6% and 35% hydrogen peroxide gels (HP6 or HP35) incorporated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (NP) co-doped with nitrogen and fluorine and irradiated with a violet LED light (LT).
Methods: Bovine enamel-dentin disks adapted to artificial pulp chambers were randomly assigned to bleaching (n = 8/group): NC (negative control), NP, HP6, HP6 + LT, HP6 + NP, HP6 + NP + LT, HP35, HP35 + LT, HP35 + NP, HP35 + NP + LT, and commercial HP35 (COM). Color (ΔE) and whiteness index (ΔWI) changes were measured before and 14 days after bleaching.

This in vitro study aimed to investigate potential changes in the color and roughness of dental enamel resulting from the use of different toothpaste formulations during bleaching with violet LED light (405 nm). Sixty specimens of bovine incisors, each measuring 6 × 6 × 3 mm, were segregated into six distinct experimental groups based on their respective treatments (n = 10): C + VL: Brushing with Colgate Total 12 + bleaching with violet LED; LB + VL: Brushing with Colgate Luminous White Brilliant + bleaching with violet LED; LI + VL: Brushing with Colgate Luminous White Instant + violet LED bleaching; C: Brushing with Colgate Total 12; LB: Brushing with Colgate Luminous White Brilliant; LI: Brushing with Colgate Luminous White Instant. The examined variables included alterations in color (∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b*, ∆Eab, and ∆E00), surface roughness (Ra), and scanning electron microscopy observations.
