Objectives: The aim of this clinical trial was to evaluate efficacy (BE) and tooth sensitivity (TS)
of in-office bleaching with a 35% hydrogen peroxide (HP) in patients with aesthetic restora-
tions.
10 January 2013
Methods: Hydrogen peroxide 35% was applied in two sessions, of three 15 min applications,
in 15 patients with upper anterior sound teeth (S) and 15 with aesthetic restorations (R). The
colour was recorded at baseline, one week and 6 months after treatment completion.
Patients recorded TS on a 04 scale. The BE was evaluated by two-way ANOVA and Tukeys

tests (a = 0.05). The percentage of patients with TS was evaluated by Fishers exact test and

Results: All participants experienced TS at least once during treatment. Higher TS intensity

was observed in R (1.5 [1/1.75]) compared to S (0.5 [0/1.25]) during the bleaching ( p < 0.05). S
Dental aesthetic
and R demonstrated similar tooth colour enhancement compared to baseline ( p < 0.05) and
both presented colour stability after 6 months of evaluation ( p > 0.05).
Conclusions: The in-office bleaching with 35% HP was effective in patients with aesthetic
restorations, however, a higher intensity of TS was observed during the bleaching protocol.
Clinical relevance: In-office dental bleaching can be performed in patients with adhesive
restorations promoting satisfactory results; however, it can promote higher intensity of
sensitivity compared to patients with sound teeth.

At each treatment, the two periods were compared with
Wilcoxon Signed Rank (a = 0.05) and differences are represented
by different lowercase letters. For each period, the treatments were
compared with MannWhitney U-test and the differences are
represented by different uppercase letters.
Comparisons between times within each group were performed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The proportion
of patients from both groups that reported TS at least once in
the central incisors, lateral incisors, canines and premolars
were calculated and compared by chi-square test. The
proportion of painful restored teeth was compared with the
proportion of sound restored teeth in the restored group by
chi-square test.
For the subjective evaluation of colour, the mean and
standard deviations of shade guide units at baseline, one week
after and 6 months after bleaching were compared with twoway repeated measures ANOVA (Groups vs. Assessment time)
and Tukeys test. The data from DSGU and DE of both groups
were submitted to two-way repeated measures ANOVA. A post
hoc analysis (Tukeys test) was used to make pairwise
comparisons. In all statistical tests, the significance level
was set at a = 0.05.
