About this trial
A prospective, non-randomized, single-arm interventional clinical study with a before-after design will be conducted to assess changes in CIELab color parameters and the Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID) following a standardized combined dental bleaching protocol. The study aims to evaluate the contribution of the a\* parameter (green-red axis) to overall dental whiteness.

Treatments tested in this trial
Combined Dental Bleaching
Procedure/SurgeryThe intervention consists of an in-office bleaching phase with two 20-minute applications of 40% hydrogen peroxide, followed by an at-home bleaching phase using 16% carbamide peroxide applied with custom trays for 90 minutes daily. Treatment will continue until color stabilization is achieved, defined as a change in WID of less than 2.6 units between two consecutive weekly measurements.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Whiteness Index for Dentistry (WID)
Change in WID values calculated from CIELab parameters (L\*, a\*, b\*) between baseline and the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks).
Secondary outcomes
Change in L* parameter
Difference in L\* values between baseline and the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks) measured using spectrophotometry.
Change in a* parameter
Difference in a\* values between baseline and the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks), including assessment of sign changes.
Change in b* parameter
Difference in b\* values between baseline and the end of treatment (up to 12 weeks), measured using spectrophotometry.
Correlation between WID and CIELab parameters
Assessment of the relationship between changes in WID and changes in L\*, a\*, and b\*.
