MUNOZ CALDERON, Ricardo David y PATRICIA AMPUERO, Nelly. EFFECT OF LED LAMPS ON DENTAL LIGHTENING AT THE UCSG DENTAL CLINIC, SEMESTER A-2017. Conrado [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.62, pp. 143-147. ISSN 1990-8644.
The objective of this study was to demonstrate the effect of the use of led lamps in the treatment of dental clearance in patients attended at the dental clinic of the UCSG in the semester A-2017. It’s an observational research, in which 28 patients were evaluated and were given dental clearance treatment. We observed the anterior superior teeth and divided them into 2 quadrants, in quadrant 1 the hydrogen peroxide was allowed to act without the application of led lamp. In quadrant 2 the LED light was applied. In the cases studied, the initial color of the evaluated teeth was A2 in 36%, A3 in 46% and A3.5 in 18%. After dental clearance the final color was A1 at 39% and A2 at 61%. As for the present sensitivity after dental clearance using LED light it was evidenced that 64% of the sample reflected sensitivity of 3 points in the EVA scale. After analyzing the results obtained in our study we concluded that LED lamps do not significantly influence the color obtained after the clearance, however in terms of sensitivity it was found that the use of led lamps causes greater sensitivity that when they weren’t used.
