About this study

Official title: Effect of a Single Prior Session of In-office Dental Bleaching on Time Required to Obtain Satisfactory Tooth Color With At-home Bleaching

This parallel, randomized, and controlled clinical trial will assess the effect of a single prior session of in-office dental bleaching on time required to achieve satisfactory tooth color with at-home bleaching. Participants enrolled will randomly allocated to receive or not a single session of dental bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide applied for 45 min. Following, all participants will use customized trays filled with 10% carbamide peroxide for 1h per day until obtain satisfactory results. The primary outcome will be the number of days necessary to obtain satisfactory tooth color. Furthermore, tooth sensitivity and color changes measured with spectrophotometer will be assessed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bleaching AgentsDrug

    In-office tooth bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide in a single application of 45 minutes.

  • Bleaching AgentsDrug

    At-home tooth bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide for 1 hour per day.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Combined techniqueExperimentalA single session of in-office tooth bleaching will be performed with 35% hydrogen peroxide for 45 minutes. Following, the teeth will be further bleached with customized trays filled with 10% carbamide peroxide and used for 1h per day.
Receives: Drug: Bleaching Agents
At-home bleachingActive comparatorThe teeth will be bleached only with customized trays filled with 10% carbamide peroxide and used for 1h per day.
Receives: Drug: Bleaching Agents

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to tooth color satisfaction

    Time in days performing at-home bleaching necessary to participant reports that is satisfied with the tooth color obtained

    Measured: up to 1 month after beginning the tooth bleaching procedures

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Color change

    Values of delta E measured with a spectrophotometer from color at baseline

    Measured: up to 1 month after beginning the tooth bleaching procedures

  2. Tooth sensitivity

    Maximum level of tooth sensitivity reported by participants using an analogue visual scale. The distance between the patient's marking and the no pain border was recorded in cm.

    Measured: 1, 2, 3, and 4 week after beginning the tooth bleaching procedures

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Bleaching Agents in people with Tooth Discoloration, run by André Luis Faria e Silva at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to tooth color satisfaction (time frame: up to 1 month after beginning the tooth bleaching procedures). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03514797, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Apr 2019.
