Study Reveals Impact of Tray Design on Gingival Irritation During At-Home Bleaching

Posted: November 18, 2024
In a randomized clinical trial, the use of a 3-mm extended bleaching tray during at-home bleaching treatments was found to increase the risk of gingival irritation and intensity of tooth sensitivity. Subjective evaluation showed no significant difference in gingival irritation risk between the extended and nonextended tray groups, but objective assessment revealed a significant increase in gingival irritation in the extended tray group. Tooth sensitivity intensity was also significantly higher in the extended tray group. The study emphasizes the importance of tray design in minimizing adverse reactions during dental bleaching treatments.
