A influência da utilização dos dessensibilizantes na ação dos clareadores: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Modern dentistry aims not only to maintain and prevent oral health, but also to achieve a better dental aesthetic. The demands with the smile more harmonious and more visually pleasing, more and more passes, due to the current appeal of aesthetics for increasingly whiter teeth. The search for this shade of color imposes challenges to both the patient and the professional as to the safe use of whitening techniques and substances. Although minimally invasive, tooth whitening can produce an uncomfortable post-operative sensitivity. Whitening substances, carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide, due to the permeability of dental tissues reach the chromophores breaking their long chains by oxidation producing the much desired whitening effect, and precisely this free oxygen, acting in the dentinal tubules at higher concentrations can produce this transient sensitivity. Although transient this uncomfortable side effect frightens away countless patients from our offices; with the aim of helping to reduce these effects we propose through a review of the literature to look for techniques and products that help us in reducing dental sensitivity, analyzing their effects and possible interferences in the results of dental whitening, for this review we will use the databases: Pub Med, Bireme, Lillacs, Google Scholar, Virtual Public Health Library, CAPES and Scielo Journals, published between 2000 and 2020.
