In-Office Tooth Lightening – 1-Year Recall, CRA Newsletter, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2004, Page 1-2.

March 2003 CRA Newsletter reported on 7 in-office bleach systems. Questions that remained unanswered were: 1) How long do bleached teeth retain their lightness? 2) Is reduction in lightness the same for all bleach systems? & 3) Does use of lights with bleaching make long term difference?

Mean lightness regressed over time for all 7 systems, resulting in similar lightness at 1 year. However, in spite of regression, teeth were lighter at 1 year than before. Regression in tooth lightness was person dependent. At one year there was no difference between light treated & non-light treated teeth.

Franchi I., Portolini S., Consolo U., Professional Clinical Bleaching with Pola Office: 6 Month Clinical Results with Spectrophotometric Analysis, 2005.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment with spectrophotometric analysis, comparing, before and after bleaching, the shade, chroma and light parameters of the anterior upper elements (from canine to canine) on a sample of ten people. Spectrophotometric analysis was repeated 6 months after initial bleaching to determine whether any changes in color had occurred.

Esthetic results obtained using Pola Office bleaching procedure were visibly significant; this result was confirmed by colorimeter analysis. The harmony between chroma, shade and light remained 6 months after the bleaching.
