Tooth plays a major role in the beauty and personality of an individual. Achieving a pleasant smile that contributes much is nothing but the color of the teeth. Attractive teeth have always been the typical patients‟ primary concern. In the past, the dentist was often dismayed by a patient‟s disappointment in a perfect restoration. Today by taking full advantage of new materials and techniques, dentists can often meet or even exceed such expectations. What most people really want, however are teeth that make them look younger, healthier and more attractive. Color of the tooth is of particular importance to the patient because of social and psychological concern. In fact, matching the color of the teeth with the adjacent teeth is one of the major motivations of the patient to seek cosmetic dental treatment
The field of tooth whitening has continued to develop as more and more dental practitioners have turned to cosmetic dentistry and associated aesthetic facial procedures. This new edition of an acclaimed text covers recent technical innovations, but also looks at the latest innovations in practice to treat the single tooth or lesions and white spots. The editor is extremely well placed to give expert advice on how to incorporate whitening into a full aesthetic facial practice.
This book, now in an extensively revised second edition, reviews the evidence relating to the mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety/toxicity, and clinical application of tooth whitening techniques and materials. All clinical techniques are profusely illustrated step by step. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which explains how tooth whitening with peroxides works and examines the overall safety of peroxides and potential complications. The findings of clinical trials with peroxide-based materials for clinical practice are then examined, with discussion of a wide range of issues in at-home whitening and in-office whitening. The third part focuses on the techniques of enamel microabrasion and resin infiltration, which entail removal of a microscopic layer of enamel and may be used to improve tooth color either alone or in combination with peroxides. The concluding part includes a variety of informative clinical cases using combined bleaching and restorative techniques for discolored teeth. Tooth Whitening — An Evidence-Based Perspective will be of interest for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and others with an interest in the subject.
