Tooth Whitening: Indications and Outcomes of Nightguard Vital Bleaching

This pictorial atlas presents the results that can be achieved with the use of night guard vital bleaching with tray application of 10% carbamide peroxide. The author has used this approach for more than 15 years as an affordable alternative to more invasive cosmetic treatment options for patients with discoloured teeth. An introductory chapter provides valuable background information on topics such as indications and contraindications, step-by-step procedures, treatment times, longevity, and special considerations for patients with sensitivity and other existing tooth conditions. In the succeeding chapters, cases illustrating virtually every possible treatment scenario provide practical clinical tips for the application of this approach and demonstrate the results that can be expected. Finally, the appendices offer useful clinical tools such as patient information forms and instructions for the fabrication of bleaching trays. Essential for practitioners who want to expand their knowledge of this popular and versatile treatment option. Also, with hundreds of before and after photographs presented in an atlas format, this book is an ideal chair side tool for showing patients how bleaching treatment can light up their smile.
