15. Move the Sapphire Whitening Crystal away from the teeth. Leave the Paint-On Dental
Dam in place and vacuum gel from the teeth. Wipe with gauze and rinse the teeth while
suctioning. Avoid splatter. Some patients with heavy discoloration or areas of unseen
hypocalcification may need another 15 to 30-minute session to achieve desired whitening
results. Evaluate the results with the patient, if possible.
Note:
In some cases you may have attained acceptable whitening in the first 30-minute
session. If so, a second session is not indicated.
Note:
In some cases, it may be necessary to peel away the Paint-On Dental Dam to
make a shade determination. If the Paint-On Dental Dam is removed and another 15
to 30-minute application is indicated, remember to reapply the Paint-On Dental Dam to
protect the gingival tissue.
16. If another 15 to 30-minute session is desired, reapply the whitening gel following
instructions, beginning at Step 7.
Note:
Be sure to inspect the Paint-On Dental Dam for any cracking or lifting before re-
applying the whitening gel. If the seal has broken from the tissue, it is recommended to
remove and replace the Paint-On Dental Dam and begin with Step 4.
17. At the end of the second session, vacuum gel from the teeth, wipe away with gauze and
rinse the teeth while suctioning. Avoid splatter.
18. Use a shade guide arranged in bleaching order to compare the color of the whitened
teeth to the original shade recorded in Step 2 and take “after” photographs.
19. If patient is experiencing sensitivity, apply desensitizer gel for 5-30 minutes, as needed.
Remove the tip from the end of the LumiSmile White desensitizing gel recappable syringe
and dispense a portion of the LumiSmile White desensitizing gel into a dappen dish.
Apply in a very thin (about 0.2 mm) layer on the labial surface of the teeth using the brush
applicator provided in the kit and allow to sit for one minute. Wipe off any excess. Firmly
recap the LumiSmile White desensitizing gel syringe. Send home remaining if needed.
