Summary: | Objectives
This study aims to evaluate the color change and tooth sensitivity (TS) caused by at-home bleaching in patients with sound and with restored teeth.
Methods
Forty patients were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into two groups: So (patients with six caries-free maxillary anterior teeth) and Re (patients with at least one restoration in the six maxillary anterior teeth). Both groups were bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP) at-home bleaching. The color change (CIELab [ΔE*
ab
], CIEDE00 [ΔE
00
], and whiteness index [
∆WI
D
]) were assessed using a spectrophotometer at baseline, 2 weeks, and 1 and 3 months after bleaching. Patients recorded their TS using a numeric rating scale (0–4). Data of color change were submitted to Student’s T-test. The absolute risk and intensity of TS were compared using Fisher’s and the Mann–Whitney tests, respectively (α = 0.05).
Results
Higher ΔE*

, ΔE

, and

D
values were observed for So in relation to Re after all recall rate (
p
< 0.0001). No significant differences were observed regarding of bleaching-induced TS (
p
> 0.9).
Conclusions
At-home dental bleaching with 10% CP generated the same pattern of TS in patients with or without restorations. However, in patients with restored teeth, it produced a lower color change after 2 weeks of bleaching.
Clinical significance
After 2 weeks of at-home bleaching, a lower whitening effect was observed in patients with anterior restorations when compared with patients with sound teeth.
