Teeth Bleaching Demystified.

Teeth Bleaching Demystified.

presented by:
Dr Giedre Uze

Dr Giedre Uze provides a clear, evidence-based overview of tooth whitening, focusing on the biological mechanisms, material science, and clinical protocols behind predictable and safe bleaching outcomes. She compares hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, explaining how concentration, pH, exposure time, temperature, and tray design influence effectiveness and sensitivity. The lecture explores common side effects, contraindications, and risk management strategies for both in-office and at-home whitening. Dr Uze also demonstrates how bleaching integrates with minimally invasive treatments such as resin infiltration. Clinical cases are used throughout to illustrate decision-making, protocol selection, and long-term outcomes.

Aims & Objectives:

1) Understand the biological and chemical mechanisms of tooth bleaching.
2) Evaluate the clinical impact of concentration, pH, exposure time, temperature, and tray design on whitening effectiveness and sensitivity.
3) Identify indications, contraindications, and potential side effects of in-office and at-home bleaching protocols.
4) Apply whitening strategically as a minimally invasive treatment and as a preparatory step for resin infiltration and restorative procedures.
