Abstract: (7664 Views)
Background: Cosmetic Dentistry has obtained a special position nowadays between Dentists and people. One of the branches of cosmetic dentistry is dental bleaching. Bleaching can be done using several methods with certain pros and cons. It is obvious that dentists always seek to find the method with maximum effectiveness and minimum damage. Some of the criteria include more color change, less heat damage, longer treatment effects. One of the methods, which seems to be effective in this regard and has recently received a lot of attention in research studies, is bleaching with lasers. The purpose of this survey study was to assess texts, which used lasers as a tool to contribute to stimulation (reaction) in bleaching.
Search strategies: Data sources included electronic databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Google Scholar. Key words of " laser" and "bleaching" were used to access articles published between 1965 till 2012.
Conclusion: Totally 42 studies were find in this subject which full texts were available for only 22 of them. The survey of research done didn’t show a certain result, and so it’s not possible to say which bleaching method is more effective. It seems in order to achieve a correct and reliable result a complete survey considering various activator sources, different lasers, and various gels and different other parameters should be done. Besides, In bleaching with laser treatment a lot of skill is required from dentist in using the best laser parameters such as power, wave length, frequency and radiation time in treatment of different teeth with various color themes, teeth species, color changes which can attain different results. In order to obtain and a justly conclusion above parameters need to be considered
