Description
Summary:Purpose Intracoronary bleaching is a minimally invasive, alternative treatment that addresses aesthetic concerns related to non-vital teeth discoloration. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have assessed the psychosocial impacts of such procedures on patients' aesthetic perceptions. The aim of this study was to evaluate aesthetic perceptions and the psychosocial impact of patients up to 3 months after their teeth had been bleached with hydrogen peroxide (35%) and carbamide peroxide (37%) using the walking bleach technique. Methods The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the bleaching agent used: G1 = hydrogen peroxide 35% (n=25) and G2 = carbamide peroxide 37% (n=25). Non-vital bleaching was performed in four sessions. Color was objectively (ΔE) and subjectively (ΔSGU) evaluated. Aesthetic perception and psychosocial factors were evaluated before, 1 week and 1 month after the bleaching using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) questionnaires. Results The color change (ΔE) values at 1 month were G1 = 16.80±6.07 and G2= 14.09±4.83. These values remained stable until the third month after treatment (p>0.05). There was a decrease in the values of OHIP-aesthetics and PIDAQ after treatment versus baseline (p
