Resumen

LISBOA, Guacyra M et al. Post-bleaching sensitivity in patients with sickle cell disease. Acta odontol. latinoam. [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.1, pp.37-41. ISSN 1852-4834.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This study analyzed the effectiveness of bleaching and tooth sensitivity after in-office bleaching in patients with SCD. Forty volunteers were randomly assigned to four groups of 10 patients each (five with the SCD and five healthy controls) and treated using in-office bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide and different light activation protocols. No statistically significant difference was observed with relation to presence of tooth sensitivity, with or without use of a source of light for peroxide activation, and all bleaching therapies were effective, regardless of the technique employed and the presence/absence of sickle cell disease. The data showed that in-office dental bleaching is a viable alternative for improvement of oral esthetics for patients with SCD.

Palabras clave : Esthetics; Hydrogen peroxide; Tooth bleaching.
