Article Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate bleaching efficacy and oral health-related quality of life (ORHQoL) of three bleaching systems with similar hydrogen peroxide (HP) concentration for up to 6 months post-treatment.
Materials And Methods: A randomized controlled trial was designed with three parallel groups: group A - in-office 6% HP paint-on varnish; group B - at-home 6% HP with adaptable tray; group C - at-home 16% carbamide peroxide with custom tray. At three different stages (baseline, after bleaching, and 6-month follow-up), ORHQoL was evaluated by the OHIP-14 questionnaire and tooth color of the upper canines and central incisors were measured by two shade guides and a spectrophotometer (measuring CIE L*a*b* with respective color/whiteness differences - ΔE/ΔWI). Results were presented as mean and 95% confidence intervals and statistical tests were performed appropriately, considering a significance level of α = 0.05.
Results: All groups presented significant color differences (P < 0.05) between all stages, with ΔE/ΔWI surpassing the perceptibility threshold in 98% cases, with group C's results being significantly (P < 0.05) higher when compared to other groups, although with significantly (P < 0.05) higher values of color relapse. Significative ORHQoL improvements (P < 0.05) were detected after bleaching in a global analysis with no differences between techniques.
Conclusions: All techniques presented bleaching efficacy, color stability, and improvements in ORHQoL up to 6 months post-treatment.
Clinical Significance: Clinicians may consider both at-home and in-office bleaching techniques with 6% HP to attain long-lasting satisfactory clinical results while producing positive changes in ORHQoL.

December 2024
Restorative Dentistry Departament, Dental School, University of Chile, Santiago, 8380544, Chile.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of two non vital whitening techniques, In-office and Walking Bleach, using 35% hydrogen peroxide. The primary research question was to determine which technique achieves greater tooth color improvement.
Materials And Methods: Fifty non-vital anterior teeth with discoloration were randomly assigned to either the In-office (n = 25) or Walking Bleach (n = 25) groups.

Electronic address:
Disinfectants, such as bleaching powder, are widely employed in marine aquaculture worldwide to control the bacterial pathogens and eliminate antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Nevertheless, the rapid recovery of prokaryotic community compositions (PCCs) after disinfection may significantly influence the overall efficacy of disinfection. Presently, little is known about the rapid recovery mechanisms of PCCs and its impact on the removal of ARGs in seawater.

Department of Physiology and Pathology, School of Dentistry, São Paulo State University (UNESP), Rua Humaitá, Araraquara, São Paulo, 1680, 14801-903, Brazil.
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: To evaluate a prior application of an experimental desensitizer containing a hydroxyapatite-capsaicin composite (HAp-CAP) in different concentrations on hydrogen peroxide (HP) diffusion into the pulp chamber, bleaching efficacy (BE) and on physical and chemical alterations of the enamel surface after in-office bleaching.
Materials And Methods: Forty sound premolars were randomized in five groups according to each experimental condition (n = 8): no bleaching (negative control), only bleaching (positive control), 0.1%, 1% and 5% of HAp-CAP.
