Estudio comparativo entre aclaramiento dental en consultorio y aclaramiento dental casero.

Abstract

Introduction: Dental whitening is used today as a method to restore dental health and aesthetics, having two lightening agents such as carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide. The objective of this work is to establish the significant differences found between different variables in home dental whitening and dental whitening in the office. Methodology: Articles in Spanish and English published from 2000 to the present were selected; the search was carried out in PubMed, academic Google, Scielo, Science Direct, Embase, Cochrane. 152 articles were reviewed and 40 were selected including meta-analyzes, systemic reviews, clinical trials, and case-control studies that included human participants, excluding in vitro and animal studies. Results: In the home modality, it was analyzed that the greatest change in color and its effectiveness according to its duration in time occurs not only by the concentration of the product but also by the sessions and days applied, while in the office modality these results are when using high concentrations and few sessions. Regarding side effects and sensitivity, it is found that the higher the concentration and applications in both modalities there will be more adverse effects. Conclusion: In the home modality (PC) the concentration of 10% with prolonged sessions of several days gives less adverse effects and a good range of effectiveness. In the office modality (PH), the 35% concentration is highly effective and has fewer adverse effects applied to short-term sessions.
