Aplicação de agentes dessensibilizantes no clareamento dental de consultoria sobre a sensibilidade dentária pós operatória: revisão de literatura.

Abstract

Teeth whitening has become the procedure of choice for patients dissatisfied with their smile, as it provides excellent results, is less invasive and does not involve dental wear, however, tooth sensitivity is a very common side effect of this procedure. The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review that assesses the effectiveness of the various desensitizing agents on tooth sensitivity caused by dental bleaching in the office. Researched from Pubmed and SciELO databases were used, selecting references from the last 10 years, in vital teeth, using toothpaste, toothpaste or desensitizing gels and discarding research with home whitening, with that, there were 10 references. Regarding the effectiveness of desensitizers, more scientific studies are needed to prove a reduction in the sensitivity of some commercially available products because they present conflicting results. The products GLUMA PowerGel and 5% potassium nitrate showed promising results, however in general the sensitivity cannot be completely avoided. Only one study reported interference with the final result of tooth whitening. It is concluded that sensitivity cannot be completely avoided, further studies are needed to prove the effectiveness of desensitizers.
