Abstract:
Abstract. The present work contains a study and a synthesis of bibliographic data,
prospective statistics and clinical data upon the efficiency of the contemporary methods of dental whitening. The study was made on 52 patients with
different types of dental discolorations, two of them were personally studied and treated. Besides this, a comparative analysis upon different methods
of whitening was made, the final option being home-bleaching, by using
individual dental trays and bleaching gels from “Ultradent” company.
In all of the cases, the result was positive (the best result being the result
of the patient nr.5: from shade A3 to shade A1); transient dental hypersensitivity was more or less found in all the patients, but it has instantly
retroceded in all of them.
In conclusion, the efficiency of dental whitening methods was proved, their nowadays application being indispensable, considering the high
frequency of dental discolorations, the environment polluted with colorants
in which we live and the increase of aesthetic necessities among the population.
