Methods used to restore endodontically treated teeth have changed over the last few years. The traditional standard of using a cast-gold post and core for all endodontically treated teeth has been questioned in the literature. The following is a report of a survey that the authors conducted to determine if there is a discrepancy between research and clinical practice.
This study evaluated the effects of an at-home vital bleaching system on gingival responses over a 6-week period. Objective measures were utilized to measure and monitor gingival inflammation over this period of time. Vital bleaching was performed as follows: (1) bleaching gel in a prefabricated mouthguard and (2) an ad-mix technique--bleaching gel and toothpaste in a 1:1 ratio. In addition a control group used a placebo in a prefabricated mouthguard. The at-home vital bleaching system produced no adverse gingival tissue responses. Furthermore, the at-home vital bleaching system helped produce a therapeutic effect on inflamed gingival tissues over the course of the study.
