Study on At-Home Teeth Bleaching with 10% Carbamide Peroxide
Background
This study tested if using 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) for 2 or 4 hours daily is as effective as using it for 8 hours daily.
Methods
A total of 120 healthy adults with teeth shades A2 or darker participated. They were divided into three groups (40 each) and used 10% CP gel for 2, 4, or 8 hours daily for 14 days. They could continue treatment if they were not satisfied. We measured color change and tooth sensitivity daily and recorded satisfaction levels.
Results
The color change after 1 month for those using 2 or 4 hours was similar to those using 8 hours. Tooth sensitivity and satisfaction levels were also comparable across all groups.
Conclusions
Using 10% CP for shorter periods (2 or 4 hours) is just as effective as the 8-hour method.
Practical Implications
Patients can choose shorter bleaching times based on their schedules without losing effectiveness. This trial is registered at Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios ClĂnicos (RBR-10vvfpcm).
