  1. Tooth whitening / Dental bleaching Presented By DR. Nandini Nelivigi

  2. Tooth whitening / Dental bleaching Tooth whitening is the process of lightening the shade of teeth. Whitening process may involve changing the intrinsic color of the tooth or removing the external stains on the teeth

  3. What are bleaching agents and how do they work? • Basically bleaching agents are either carbamide peroxide (10 to 44% concentration) or hydrogen peroxide (3 to 16% concentration). • When Hydrogen peroxide reaches the tooth surface it penetrates inside where it acts as an oxidizing agent and breaks down into unstable free radicals. These free radicals bind to Organic pigmented molecules there by converting them into small less pigmented components. By reflecting less light they lighten the tooth color. • However this change is temporary and the tooth starts to regain its original color in a few months to years depending on the patients eating habits. • Tooth staining can be intrinsic or extrinsic: • Intrinsic factors • Extrinsic factors

  4. a. Intrinsic factors • Dental decay • Restorations • Fluorosis • Tetracycline and Minocycline • Trauma • Amelogenesis and Dentinogenesis Imperfecta • Ageing and Erosion of tooth surface

  5. b. Extrinsic factors • Dental plaque and Calculus • Tobacco • Betel nut • Chlorhexidine mouthwash

  6. INDICATIONS: • Yellowish discoloration of the teeth • Fluorosis • Tetracycline stain • Esthetic concern • Internal tooth staining

  7. METHODS OF BLEACHING • At home bleach: Whitening gels, tooth pastes and mouth washes are available over the counter in drug stores. • In office bleach: In this procedure the dentist will apply a protective layer to cover your gums and the papillae, then apply the whitening gel on the teeth with a period of 15-20 mins rinse the gel. One may require 2-3 sessions of bleaching to achieve the desired color depending on the nature of stain.

  8. SIDE EFFECTS • One of the most common side effects of bleaching is tooth sensitivity. Almost 60-70% of the patients undergoing bleaching have sensitivity following the procedure. • You will be recommended to use desensitizing tooth paste by your dentist. The sensitivity may last for up to a few weeks. • Apart from this, hydrogen peroxide (if not applied properly) as it contacts the tissue surface may burn the tissue and cause burning sensation.

  9. MAINTENANCE • Brush and floss your teeth regularly • Do not consume colored drinks and red wine • Keep away from tobacco/smoking • Keep away from caffeine related products It may be required to redo the process every year since whitening will be lost in a due course of time (mainly due to re hydration of the tooth).
