Abstract: Objective To compare the effects of different treatment methods before in-office bleaching to investigate the occurrence rate and level of teeth bleaching sensitivity with bioactive glasses (BGs) application. Methods 45 subjects were randomized into 3 groups. In group A, all subjects were applied with BGs desensitizer. In group B, all subjects were applied with transparent tray and BGs desensitizer. Group C was the control group, without any desensitizer application. In every subject, the conditions of 6 front teeth were observed. Desensitizer applications were used in group A and B, while no desensitizer treatment in group C. Sensitivity scores [recorded on a 10-point visual-analog scale (VAS)] were determined right after, 24 h, 48 h after the bleaching treatment in group A, B and C. The data of occurrence rate and level of teeth bleaching sensitivity with BSG application were analyzed and compared statistically. Results Bleaching sensitivity occurred in 33.33% of the subjects in Group A (Right after) and 13.33% of the subjects in Group B (VAS mean scores: 0.33±0.49, 0.13±0.35). Bleaching sensitivity occurred in 86.67% of the subjects in Group C (Right after) (VAS score: 1.53±0.82). There were significant statistical differences between VAS mean values of A, B and C right after group (P<0.05).24 hours after treatment, bleaching sensitivity occurred in 0% of the subjects in Group A and B, and 40% of the subjects in Group C (VAS score: 0.47±0.63). There were significant statistical differences between VAS mean values of A, B and C 24 h group (P<0.05). 48 hours after treatment, bleaching sensitivity occurred in 0% of the subjects in Group A and B, and 6.67% of the subjects in Group C (VAS score: 0.07±0.25). Bleaching sensitivity occurred in 86.67% of the subjects in Group C (Right after) (VAS score: 1.53±0.82). There were no significant statistical differences between VAS mean values of A, B and C 48 h group (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of BGs and transparent tray desensitizer may significantly reduce the occurrence rate of bleaching sensitivity and alleviate the symptoms.
