Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Color	Color assessment was carried out before bleaching, 1 week after bleaching and 3 months after bleaching	A operator measured the color of the six upper anterior teeth using a digital spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade V, Wilcos, Petrópolis, RJ, Brazil).
Bleaching Sensitivity	Assessments were carried out three times: before bleaching, immediately after bleaching, and 24 hours after bleaching.	The degree of tooth sensitivity of patients was recorded using a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no tooth sensitivity and 10 represents the greatest tooth sensitivity ever felt by the patient.
