Introduction
• Aesthetic options for tooth discoloration– Composite Resin Restoration– Veneers– Crowns– Tooth Whitening (Bleaching)
3
Bleaching Option• Non-invasive, most conservative method
for lightening dark or discolored teeth• Simple, convenient, easily accomplished • Relatively painless• Relatively inexpensive• Good aesthetic result• Safe esp. when supervised• Wider acceptance
Objective• To remove stains, discolorations• Improve patient smile• Provide positive change in patient’s self-
esteem 4
Active Agent: Mechanism of Action
• Hydrogen peroxide diffuses through the organic matrix of enamel and dentin.
• Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to form free radicals (reactive oxygen species with unpaired electron)
• The free radicals released penetrate enamel and dentin, changing stained molecules in the dentin to clear ones. The free radicals oxidize stains in the teeth.
5
Indications• Extrinsic stains
– Food, colored drinks (tea, coffee, red wine) – Tobacco smoking and chewing, cigarette
smoking– Yellowish brown discolorations associated with
aging
• Intrinsic stains– Dental fluorosis– Tetracycline-induced– Pulp necrosis– Intrapulpal haemorrhage– Endodontic treatment: Pulp tissue remnants,
intracanal medicaments, obturating materials7
Contraindications
• During pregnancy or lactation• Generally in children under 12yrs• Known allergy to hydrogen peroxide or
other ingredients of the products• Extrinsic stains which can easily be
removed by professional tooth cleaning• Dental caries• Discolored restoration
8
Types of Tooth Bleaching
• Vital Tooth Bleaching [External Bleaching]
• Non-Vital Tooth Bleaching [Internal Bleaching]
9
Vital Tooth Bleaching Systems
• In-office or power bleaching [Professionally-administered]
• At-home (Tray & Trayless bleaching) [Professionally-dispensed]
• Over-the-counter [Self-administered]
10
In-Office/Power Bleaching• 25% to 38% hydrogen peroxide
• Involves chair time; thus increased cost to the patient
• Results most predictable; good compliance
• May require 1+ office visits (30-60 min)
• Good for non-compliant or unwilling patients; also for patients demanding instant result

In-office bleaching: Two visits of in-office, one-hour light-enhanced bleaching (Sapphire
Professional Whitening, Den-Mat)

In-office light-activated bleaching
18
At-Home Tray Bleaching
• 10% to 22% carbamide peroxide; 6% to 10% H2O2
• This technique allows the patient to use a custom-fitted tray device at home, while the results and concentrations are monitored by a dental professional
• Applied for a period of 2-6 weeks
• Could be worn overnight or during the day for 2-3 hrs

33
At-Home Trayless Bleaching Strips
• Use of whitening strips [Introduced mid-year 2000]
• Uses a flexible polyethylene strip to deliver a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel to the anterior dentition.
• Worn only for 30 minutes, twice a day• Effects comparable to at-home tray
bleaching products
34
At-Home Trayless Bleaching Systems
• 6.5% hydrogen peroxide (Crest Professional Whitestrips™)
• 14% hydrogen peroxide (Crest® Whitestrips ® Supreme)

39
Over-the-Counter Bleaching Systems
• 6% to 14% hydrogen peroxide
• Unsupervised at-home bleaching; no diagnosis of the condition for which the patient is bleaching
• Least expensive; results least predictable
• Some of these products can be dangerous to oral tissues, since they are not supervised by dentists
40
Over-the-Counter Bleaching Systems
• Crest Whitestrips™ (5.3% Hydrogen peroxide)
• Colgate Simply White (18% carbamide peroxide) [paint-on]
• Crest Night Effects (19% sodium percarbonate) [paint-on]
41
Prognosis of Bleaching
Patient Selection:• Select patients with conditions that have the
best prognosis for success with bleaching
Efficacy of Bleaching• Dose dependent (concentration of bleaching
agent)• Time dependent (contact time with hard
tissue)• Type of tooth discoloration• Rate of diffusion below tooth surface• Patient’s age
42
Prognosis of Bleaching
Tooth discoloration with the best prognosis:
• Yellowing of the teeth without any systemic or developmental cause:– Food– Smoking– Aging– Staining
• Mild fluorosis staining• Mild tooth darkening due to trauma• Mild tetracycline staining
43
Prognosis of Bleaching
• Dark gray, blue, black and dark blue-gray stains are more tenacious
• Successful lightening of darkly-stained teeth (e.g. moderate to severe tetracycline discoloration) has been reported with prolonged bleaching periods (six months to one year)
• Poor Prognosis: Consider other comprehensive aesthetic or restorative care
44
Bleaching Relapse
• With in-office bleaching, CRA reported relapse of 41% at 1 year.
• For tray bleaching, Haywood reports 26% at 18 months.
• Others have reported varying degrees of bleaching relapse over time.
45
Minimizing Bleaching Relapse
• Using a whitening toothpaste to remove surface stains.
• Rinsing immediately after consuming stain-causing beverages or foods.
• Using straw to drink beverages that stain, such as coffee, tea, colas, etc.
• Checking with your dentist whether you need a touch up
• Depending on the whitening method used, one may need a touch up in 6 months or after a year or two.
• If you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, you may need a touch up more often.
46
Common Side Effects of Bleaching
Tooth Sensitivity to Temperature Changes
• Primary side effect associated with vital bleaching
• Generally associated with previous history of sensitive teeth
• Related to frequency of application per day• Related to use of higher concentrations• Related to the pH of the bleaching gel• Typically begins early in the bleaching process
(1st or 2nd day)• Usually mild and transient in nature; may not
interfere with bleaching process47
Tooth Sensitivity to Temperature Changes – Remedy
• Reduce wear time or frequency of application
• Utilize a lower concentration of peroxide
• Utilize a product that contains desensitizing agent
• Use of desensitizing agent before, during and after
48
Common Side Effects of Bleaching
Irritation of Mucosa and Gingiva• Oral soft tissues have two primary
mechanisms for dissipating peroxide and preventing gingival irritation –salivary dilution and degradation.
Presentation:• Gum, lip and tongue soreness • Throat irritation
49
Irritation of Mucosa and Gingiva
Remedy:• Stop bleaching for 2-3 days
• Reduction of wearing time
• Utilize a lower concentration of peroxide
• Remake tray
50
Non-Vital Bleaching
• Intra-coronal bleaching of discolored root-filled teeth
51
Non-Vital Bleaching
• The “Walking Bleach” technique• Use of Superoxol (30% hydrogen peroxide)
and sodium perborate• The Superoxol and sodium perborate
mixture on a cotton pellet is placed inside the access opening
• The Superoxol and sodium perborate mixture can be left inside of the access opening and sealed with a temporary filling
52
Non-Vital Bleaching
• Evaluate patient 1-2wks later and if the desired results are not achieved, the procedure can be repeated
• Once the tooth is lightened and color is satisfactory, the superoxol and sodium perborate are removed, canal irrigated thoroughly
• Acid-etch, rinse, dry and treat with bonding agent
• Restore with composite
