The aim of the present clinical trial was to determinate the efficacy of the use of desensitizing agents as preventive in the incidence of dental hypersensitivity during nightguard dental bleaching with 15% carbamide peroxide modified. The sample consisted in 20 healthy patients, with no signs or symptoms of dental hypersensitivity between 18 and 36 years old who signs the informed consent. We divided them randomly in two groups of 10 participants each: Group I recieved treatment with the bleaching gel Opalescence PF15% (15% carbamide peroxide, 3% potassium nitrate and 0.11% sodium fluoride); Group II: recieved the desensitizing gel UltraEZ (3% potassium nitrate and 0.11% sodium fluoride) to be applied in the bleaching tray for 30 minutes and the toothpaste Sensodyne cool gel (5% potassium nitrate and 1100ppm sodium fluoride) as toothpaste during tooth brushing routine regime, both 14 days prior to bleaching treatment. Both groups used the whitening gel for a period of 2 weeks at night in vacuum-formed soft tray. The number of cases of tooth hypersensitivity in the group undergoing whitening with 15% carbamide peroxide modified and preventive desensitization therapy was significantly lower (p = 0.023) than the number of cases presented in the untreated group with previous desensitizing. It was concluded that a previous use of desensitizing agents before tooth whitening with 15% carbamide peroxide modified is significantly effective for the treatment of dental hypersensitivity.
