Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of teeth bleaching on oral health and quality of life (OHIP-14) in adults who have undergone office bleaching treatment.
Material and Methods: One hundred patients who applied to our clinic for bleaching treatment between 2016-2021 and underwent bleaching treatment with Opalescence Boost 40% PF were included in the study. Pre-treatment color determination is routinely done for each patient in the clinic. They were divided into four different groups as follow-up patients in 3rd month for Group 1, 6th month for Group 2, 1st year for Group 3, and 2nd year follow-up patients for Group 4 (n=25). Shade guide unit (ΔSGU) values were calculated for the patients using the Vita Classic color scale. In addition, the OHIP-14 questionnaire was applied to each patient to evaluate the effect of bleaching on oral health and quality of life. Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed at P.<05.
Results: In evaluating OHIP-14 quality of life among patients, there was no significant difference was noticed for all times (P.>05). In terms of color change, no significant difference compared to baseline levels with the measurements made at the 3rd, 6th months, and 1st and 2nd years (P.>05, =0.81).
Conclusion: After the bleaching treatment, the color remained stable for two years. However, a positive psychosocial effect and improved self-perception occurred in the patients.
