Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Expected outcome 1: It was expected that there would be no difference between aesthetic polyurethane and silicone elastomeric bandages in relation to color stability, assessed using a calibrated portable digital spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany) and elastic properties by means of tensile testing. The whitening toothpaste was not expected to interfere with the color stability of silicone and polyurethane bandages.;Outcome found 1: No difference was found in color stability and elastic properties between the aesthetic elastomeric modules of polyurethane and silicone. The whitening toothpaste did not influence the performance of the bandages with regard to color stability, surface degradation, and elastic properties, after 30 days in the oral cavity.
