Clinical Relevance Under the conditions of this study, 15% carbamide peroxide with potassium nitrate and fluoride exhibited greater bleaching potential but exhibited no difference in sensitivity compared to 16% carbamide peroxide with amorphous calcium phosphate.

Clinical Relevance The efficacy of vital bleaching depends on the two aspects—viz, bleaching agent and the bleaching method. Results from this in vivo study show that 10% carbamide peroxide home-bleaching and 15% hydrogen peroxide in-office bleaching were more effective than a 6% hydrogen peroxide home-bleaching over-the-counter product up to three months after completion of the bleaching treatment.

Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), potassium nitrate, and sodium monofluorophosphate are desensitizing agents that help in reducing teeth sensitivity. However, indecisive evidence exists regarding their efficacy. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the desensitizing efficacy of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and potassium nitrate with sodium monofluorophosphate agents after in-office vital bleaching. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 2011 patients. The patients were randomly and equally divided into the CPP-ACP group (group 1), potassium nitrate with sodium monofluorophosphate group (group 2), and placebo gel (group 3). The upper and lower anterior teeth including the first premolar were isolated with a rubber dam, then the bleaching agents were applied on the labial surface of all the teeth, followed by light activation for 15 min. The procedure was repeated 3 times with an interval of 5 min in-between. After carrying out the bleaching procedure, patients were given a desensitizing gel or placebo gel in unmarked syringes with an instruction to apply it every 12 h for up to 3 days. The intensity of pain was recorded using a discomfort interval scale (DIS). A decrease in pain was observed 24 h after the application of the desensitizing gel in groups 1 and 2. However, in group 3, the pain persisted, with 46 (69.69%) patients having moderate pain and 14 (21.21%) developing severe pain over time. A significant difference in discomfort level with time was noted in group 1 (p = 0.015) and group 2 (p = 0.036). However, no significant difference was found in group 3 (p = 0.085). It was concluded that both desensitizing agents performed exceptionally well in reducing teeth sensitivity.

Tooth bleaching is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures opted by the patients who desire pleasing smile. It is the simplest, least invasive means available to lighten discolored vital teeth. A number of desensitizing agents have been tried in an attempt to counteract bleaching-related sensitivity. This study was done to compare the effect of two different desensitizing agents for controlling post operative sensitivity after power bleach procedure. Sixty volunteers with mild to moderate dental fluorosis in maxillary anterior teeth, who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were randomly selected for this study. After the bleaching procedurea demo was given to the patient while application of desensitising gel and was instructed to use the gel for 14 days.All the patients were recalled at an interval of 1st day, 3rdday, 5th day, 7th day, and on 14th day to record the post operative sensitivity after power bleach procedure. The observations were analyzed using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukeys post hoc test. On the basis of VAS results, all the groups showed post operative sensitivity of varied intensity at different intervals. NCCP showed less sensitivity followed by CPP-ACP and Control group.
