The present interventional, controlled, randomized, blind clinical study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an in-office bleaching procedure with violet LED associated or not with 37% carbamide peroxide, considering as response variables the degree of change and color stability over 12 months and dental sensitivity over a month.
Forty participants, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( = 20) according to the bleaching protocol conducted, in two sessions, with a 7-day interval: vLED-violet LED, without gel; vLED/CP-37% carbamide peroxide photocatalyzed with violet LED (control group). In the vLED group, in each session the bleaching was carried out by 2 consecutive irradiation cycles of 25' each (10 × 2' LED + 30" interval), with 5' interval between cycles. In the vLED/CP group, the gel was applied 5 times in the bleaching session and photocatalyzed 3 times for 2' with 30" intervals (7'30" per gel application), totaling 37'30" per session. Dental sensitivity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) and the effectiveness of bleaching as a function of the degree of change and color stability (E) with a spectrophotometer. The data were tabulated and submitted to statistical tests ( < 0.05).
The VAS analysis showed that some individuals from both groups had mild pain (1 ≤ VAS < 4) during the time intervals evaluated, being more prevalent in the vLED/CP group. Regarding the degree of color change, the groups behaved differently over time ( < 0.0001). The E observed for the vLED/CP group was superior in comparison to the vLED group at all evaluated moments.
Over 12 months, the vLED/CP group was more effective in relation to the bleaching effect compared to the vLED group. Both groups showed low levels of sensitivity in the studied time intervals.

本干预性、对照、随机、盲法临床研究旨在评估诊室中使用紫光发光二极管(vLED)联合或不联合37%过氧化脲进行漂白程序的有效性,将12个月内的变化程度和颜色稳定性以及1个月内的牙齿敏感性作为反应变量。
根据纳入和排除标准,40名参与者按照所进行的漂白方案随机分为2组(每组n = 20),分两次进行,间隔7天:vLED组——无凝胶的紫光发光二极管组;vLED/CP组——用紫光发光二极管光催化的37%过氧化脲组(对照组)。在vLED组中,每次治疗通过连续2个25分钟的照射周期进行(每次10×2分钟LED照射+30秒间隔),周期之间间隔5分钟。在vLED/CP组中,凝胶在漂白治疗中涂抹5次,光催化3次,每次2分钟,间隔30秒(每次凝胶涂抹7分30秒),每次治疗总计37分30秒。使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)评估牙齿敏感性,并使用分光光度计评估漂白效果与变化程度和颜色稳定性(E)的关系。数据制成表格并进行统计检验(P < 0.05)。
VAS分析表明,两组中的一些个体在评估的时间间隔内有轻度疼痛(1≤VAS<4),在vLED/CP组中更普遍。关于颜色变化程度,两组随时间表现不同(P<0.0001)。在所有评估时刻,vLED/CP组观察到的E均优于vLED组。
在12个月内,与vLED组相比,vLED/CP组在漂白效果方面更有效。两组在研究的时间间隔内均表现出低水平的敏感性。
