Effects of Pre-operative Air-powder Polishing and Rubber-cup Prophylaxis on Tooth Bleaching Outcomes: Randomised Controlled Split-mouth Clinical Study
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating AIRFLOW® Master device +Opalescence Xtra Boost. and rubber-cup+Opalescence Xtra Boost. for Tooth Discoloration and Color Changes During Tooth Formation. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The increasing demand for whitening teeth necessitates requirements and guidelines to ensure the efficacy of products and bleaching techniques. So far there is no comparative study to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-operative air-powder polishing device (APD) and rubber-cup prophylaxis on tooth bleaching in-office. Office-bleaching has some advantages such as avoiding soft tissue irritation, preventing the use of excess material and producing immediate esthetic results. The aim this study is to compare the effects of pre-operative air-powder polishing and rubber-cup prophylaxis on tooth bleaching outcomes. The null hypothesis of this research was that there would be no difference in the change in according to the type of prophylaxis on tooth-bleaching outcomes.△L,△a,△b,△E and △SGU. The results of the study show that both rubber cup prophylaxis and APD devices can be equally used before bleaching treatment as there were no statistical differences in color change.
