Impact of Remineralizing Desensitizers on Whitening Effectiveness, Enamel Integrity, and Color Retention in Tooth Bleaching

Abstract: This study explores the role of fluoride-based desensitizers in enhancing the safety and durability of tooth bleaching treatments. Thirty extracted human teeth were divided into six groups, each subjected to different desensitizer application protocols before and after bleaching. While the bleaching efficacy remained largely unaffected by desensitizer timing, variations were observed in enamel corrosion and post-treatment color stability. Notably, pre-treatment with desensitizers reduced surface erosion, and continuous use helped maintain whitening over time. In my view, this suggests that strategic application of remineralizing agents can improve clinical outcomes in cosmetic dentistry.
