Sumario:OBJECTIVES: The aim of this clinical study was to compare tooth sensitivity scores and color change values before and 1 day following whitening treatments using different concentrations of whitening agents for in-office and at-home procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 60 participants divided into 3 groups were included in this study. A whitening procedure was carried out in groups using 40% hydrogen peroxide (HP) in in-office treatment, 16% and 10% carbamide peroxide (CP), respectively. Participants rated their tooth sensitivity at the baseline and 1 day following the treatment. The CIEl(ab) values were recorded and color differences were calculated. RESULTS: Within each of the whitening treatments, the tooth sensitivity scores significantly increased following the procedure (p<0.05). The largest significant increase in scores was noted in 40% HP in-office whitening treatment, while the lowest increase was noted in 10% CP at-home whitening treatments (p<0.05). The highest color change 1 day following the procedure was found in the 40% HP in-office whitening treatment group (3.3) and it significantly differed from both 16% CP and 10% CP at-home whitening treatments whose color difference was both 2.0, respectively (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: 1 day following the procedure, a low concentrate CP agent for at-home whitening causes the least tooth sensitivity compared to higher concentrate CP for at-home and HP for in-office agents, with the same color change efficacy as higher concentrate CP agent. In case with slight tooth sensitivity reported at the baseline, a 10% CP whitening treatment should be recommended.
