New Possibilities on the Application of Violet Light in Dentistry Combining Aesthetics and Microbiological Control: Report of Two Clinical Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2022, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Dental bleaching performed in a dental office is considered among the bleaching techniques one of the most safety avoiding damages to the mucous membranes and to the gastrointestinal tract of the patient. The application of violet light appears as an innovative reality in dental bleaching with effective results. The aim of this study was to show the new possibilities of violet LED light (405 nm, 165 mW/cm2) with liquid peroxide solution used during the dental bleaching in two clinical cases. Dental bleaching was done using a violet LED light source and simultaneous irrigation used hydrogen peroxide liquid on the dental arches with the aim of also promoting oral decontamination in the patient. Based on the results, it was possible to show that violet light has real applicability in tooth whitening and potential to be used in oral decontamination. In addition, the violet light accelerates the whitening process allowing excellent results and minimizing the aggressiveness of this procedure to the patients. Thus, violet light is a new tool for tooth whitening with the advantage of combining the control and prevention of diseases initiated by microorganisms in the oral cavity.
