Abstrakt: Objectives: To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of participants treated with dental bleaching using different techniques by administering two questionnaires Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), as well as the bleaching efficacy and tooth sensitivity (TS).
Materials and Methods: Secondary results for nine randomized clinical trials were included, involving 489 participants who underwent bleaching procedures. The questionnaires were applied at baseline and 30-day post-bleaching. Bleaching efficacy (ΔSGU/ΔE ab ) and TS were also evaluated (VAS/NRS). The effect of bleaching on aesthetic self-perception was evaluated using the Paired t-test. The Kruskal-Wallis test assessed variations by technique. Also, the correlations between questionnaires and outcomes was evaluated (α = 0.05).
Results: After the bleaching treatment, both questionnaire revealed significant differences compared to the baseline, regardless of the factor evaluated (p < 0.05), except for Physical pain in OHIP-14 (p = 0.53). No correlation was found between OHIP-14 and bleaching efficacy (p < 0.008). A significant correlation was found between bleaching efficacy and dental self-confidence, indicating that dental self-confidence increased as the number of SGU (ΔSGU) increased, while social impact (ΔE ab ) and aesthetic concern (ΔSGU) decreased. Additionally, a significant correlation was observed between TS and OHIP-14 (Physical pain). For PIDAC, both dental self-confidence and psychological impact were correlated with TS in the VAS.
Conclusion: Subjects who underwent dental bleaching treatment improved their self-perception and dental self-confidence. Dental bleaching, besides enhancing the patient's smile, also improves their self-esteem.
Clinical Relevance: Dental bleaching, besides improving the patient's smile, also enhances their self-esteem.
