Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of light irradiation on the clinical efficiency of an in-office whitening agent. Methods: The in-office whitening agent (Opalescence Boost 35%) was used in this study. Two whitening regimens were evaluated on maxillary anterior teeth: (1) with light irradiation; and (2) without light irradiation. The Delta E*, changes of L*, a*, b*, and the best shade match on the central incisor before, immediately after, and 6 months after whitening procedures were evaluated using a dental spectrophotometer. Results: The Delta E and shade had no significant differences with or without light irradiation. In addition, the Delta E, changes of L*, a*, b*, and shade did not change over 6 months after bleaching at a level detectable to the naked eye. The results suggested that the in-office whitening agent using 35% hydrogen peroxide without photocatalysts can improve tooth color with or without light irradiation for 6 months after whitening.
