The effect of whitening agents on caries susceptibility of
human enamel.
Opalescence
is recommended for whitening discolored teeth prior to placement
of composite, veneers, and/or crowns. Opalescence is effective
in removing some or all of the internal tooth discolorations
due to congenital, systemic, pharmacologic, traumatic, etc.,
factors and aging. Great success with fluorosis and even tetracycline
staining. The Opalescence sticky formula does not leach from
the tray like other bleaching gels. Patients experience results
quickly, which motivates them to pursue the treatment. Vital
teeth whitened with Opalescence remain lighter for years.
Opalescence is available in a variety of concentrations, formulations,
flavors and kit configurations to meet all your whitening
needs.
A
20% carbamide peroxide concentration equals approximately
7.5% hydrogen peroxide.

Opalescence? is a fast, safe and effective tooth whitening
system.
The
whitening gel is a thick solution, which is dispensed to patients
by a dentist and applied by the patient at home using a clear
and inconspicuous custom fitted tray. The unique "scalloped"
tray with reservoirs was developed to minimize tray contact
and peroxide gel exposure to soft tissues. The Opalescence PF
sticky formula does not leach from the tray as did former tooth
whitening preparations.
The
delicious mint flavored gel is worn overnight, while you sleep
for ultimate performance and maximum convenience. The patented
formula bleaches in as little as 30 minutes in 1-3 daily treatments
or for 1-6 hours daytime (if worn overnight, gel will stay active
for 8-10 hours).
The
active ingredient in Opalescence?, carbamide peroxide, has been
recognized by FDA for many years as an oral antiseptic and is
now used for its superior tooth whitening properties. Opalescence?
is available in a variety of carbamide peroxide concentrations
to whiten even the most difficult stains.
Opalescence
PF is recommended for whitening discolored teeth prior to placement
of composite, veneers, and/or crowns. Wait approximately two
weeks following the bleaching procedure to assure shade has
stabilized before matching restorations to bleached enamel.
Porcelain and other restorative materials will not whiten. Many
times patients with lighter porcelain restorations can benefit
from having adjacent darker natural teeth lightened to match
the lighter restorations.
The
Opalescence formula has shown to be effective approximately
95% of the time for removing some or all of the discoloration
and/or stains due to natural, congenital, systemic, pharmalogic,
traumatic, etc. factors. Success is most always obtained with
fluorosis and to significant degrees with tetracycline staining,
depending on the patient compliance and/or duration of treatment.
