APPENDIX:
BASIC
WHITENING
PROCEDURES
Every
dental
practice
that
uses
the
professional
whitening
system
must
adopt
an
operating
protocol
that
is
suitable
for
guaranteeing
a
safe,
satisfactory,
controlled
result.
INFORMATION
FOR
THE
CUSTOMER
‐
Presentation
of
the
technique,
procedures,
results
and
all
other
operating
and
behaviour
aspects
that
the
technique
requires.
‐
Possible
supply
of
informative
material
(WHITENING
SPECIAL).
It
should
be
mentioned
that
the
result
is
subjective
and
can
vary
from
patient
to
patient
for
obvious
physiological
and
morphological
reasons.
DIAGNOSIS
AND
MEDICAL
AND
DENTAL
HISTORY
The
dentist
carries
out
an
examination
and
a
medical
‐
dental
assessment
to
assess
the
feasibility
of
the
treatment
and
the
presence
of
possible
contraindications.
BEGINNING
OF
TREATMENT:
PREPARATION
OF
THE
PATIENT
1.
Clean
the
teeth
properly
with
a
preventive
treatment.
Wash
the
teeth
using
the
syringe
water,
and
then
dry
them
with
the
syringe
air.
Apply
Vaseline
or
suntan
cream
to
the
lips,
and
then
apply
the
supplied
mouth
opener
that
is
designed
to
keep
the
patient's
tongue
lowered
so
it
cannot
accidentally
come
into
contact
with
the
whitening
gel.
2.
Precisely
apply
the
supplied
photopolymerizing
liquid
dam
(LIQUIDMASK)
to
the
gums
and
mucous
membranes.
This
is
to
isolate
the
mucous
membranes
and
prevent
the
whitening
gel
from
coming
into
contact
with
the
gum
flaps.
Using
the
bleaching
lamp,
polymerize
with
a
20
‐
second
irradiation
treatment.
