- Brief Summary
This study assessed the impact of four desensitizing agents on both color stability and dental sensitivity following a bleaching procedure, spanning from the 24-hour to the 1-year follow-up assessment periods.
- Detailed Description
Dental bleaching is a temporary treatment with potential adverse effects on dental sensitivity post-procedure. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate dental color stability and sensitivity over a one-year period following bleaching, utilizing one of four desensitizing agents: PAMAM, MI Paste Plus, Hydroxyapatite and F (ReminPro), and Ultra EZ. The selection of the desensitizing agent was based on a predetermined randomization sequence generated in Microsoft Excel. Color stability was objectively assessed through spectrophotometric analysis, while subjective evaluation was conducted using the Vita Classic shade guide by two external observers not involved in the procedure. Dental sensitivity levels were tracked at various intervals using a visual analogue scale. Baseline measurements for both sensitivity and color stability were taken before the bleaching procedure, with subsequent evaluations at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year post-bleaching. The study involved 60 patients from Ain Shams University seeking dental whitening treatment, divided into four groups based on the randomization sequence.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Post-bleaching dental hypersensitivity 24 hours 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year post treatment Assessment will be carried out by a visual analogue scale (VAS), from 0 (no tooth sensitivity at all) to 10 (intolerable pain). Air blast stimulus will be used and will be applied on the tooth at distance of 0.5-1 cm for 2 seconds by the maximum power of the compressed air jet from the dental unit. Then sensitivity was measured before bleaching (baseline) and at each follow up period, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year post treatment
Shade stability 24 hours 3 days, 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and one year post treatment Assesment was carried out using Vita Easy shade V . Two measurements were taken for each tooth from the upper right canine to the upper left canine, and same for the lower arch. For light condition standardization, all shade measurements were carried out under natural daylight the clinic lights with the dental unit light away from the patient. The shade of each tooth was recorded as well as the values of L, a, and b. The shade of the upper two centrals was confirmed using Vita Classical shade guide.
Shade assesment was carried out before bleaching and at each follow up periods, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year post treatment
