A novel method uses a custom mouthguard with 10% carbamide peroxide gel to bleach single discolored vital teeth. This technique effectively lightens teeth, particularly those with calcified pulpal spaces.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Endodontics
  • Aesthetic Dentistry

Background:

  • Discolored vital teeth present a common esthetic challenge.
  • Existing bleaching methods may not be ideal for single-tooth treatment.
  • Calcified pulpal spaces can complicate tooth lightening procedures.

Observation:

  • A viscous 10% carbamide peroxide gel was utilized.
  • A custom plastic mouthguard was designed to isolate the gel.
  • The gel was applied directly to the discolored tooth surface.

Findings:

  • The described method provides a simple and effective approach to bleaching single vital discolored teeth.
  • The localized application ensures targeted treatment, minimizing exposure to adjacent teeth.
  • Successful lightening was observed in vital teeth exhibiting calcified pulpal spaces.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a conservative and effective alternative for single-tooth vital bleaching.
  • It may improve patient satisfaction by addressing localized discoloration.
  • Further research could explore long-term efficacy and patient-reported outcomes.
