About this study

Official title: Influence of Polishing After Bleaching on Color Change and Enamel Morphology: Randomized Clinical Trial

This trial evaluated the influence of polishing on enamel color change after in-office bleaching treatment. It also evaluated the influence of polishing on tooth morphology and sensitivity.

Being tested
Hydrogen Peroxide 35%, Hydrogen Peroxide 35% + Polishing whitened teeth
Medical subject headings
Tooth Discoloration, Dentin Sensitivity

What participants receive

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

  • Hydrogen Peroxide 35%Other

    Group that received only bleaching treatment. Soft tissue protection was performed with a Top Dam light-curing gingival barrier (FGM, Santa Catarina, SC, Brazil). Application of whitening gel (Whitness HP 35%/FGM) on the buccal surface from premolar to premolar in the upper and lower arches. Three 45-minute sessions were held with an interval of seven days between them.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide 35% + Polishing whitened teethOther

    Group that received only bleaching treatment followed by polishing. Soft tissue protection was performed with a Top Dam light-curing gingival barrier (FGM, Santa Catarina, SC, Brazil). Application of whitening gel (Whitness HP 35%/FGM) on the buccal surface from premolar to premolar in the upper and lower arches. Three 45-minute sessions were held with an interval of seven days between them. After bleaching, the vestibular surfaces were polished for 20s on each bleached tooth, with polishing paste and felt disc (Diamond Flex, FGM, Santa Catarina, SC, Brazil) in low rotation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Influence of polishing on color after tooth whitening

    Color evaluation was performed with the EasyshadeAdvanced spectrophotometer (Vita-Zahnfabrik, GE, Germany)

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Surface morphology of whitening enamel with and without polishing

    The images were obtained using a electron microscope (Mira3 model) with type electron gun, mounted on supports of aluminum with 12mm of diameter, using tape double adhesive carbon face, and metallic with Au for 2'30'' which deposits about the sample a film thick average of 10 to 15nm. The images were generated by detecting secondary electrons, using a voltage acceleration of 5 kV and a working distance of around 15 mm.

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Influence of polishing on sensitivity after tooth whitening

    assessment of sensitivity during treatment using a visual analogue scale with values from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating a worse level of pain.

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydrogen Peroxide 35% and Hydrogen Peroxide 35% + Polishing whitened teeth in people with Tooth Discoloration and Morphologic Change, run by Universidade Federal do Para 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 2 Dec 2022. 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.

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?

Influence of polishing on color after tooth whitening (time frame: 14 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 2 Dec 2022.
