Overview
In recent years, there has been increasing interest from patients and practitioners in the area of tooth whitening procedures conducted in a single patient session which can achieve cosmetic improvements in tooth shade.
The course will provide an overview of the various in-office whitening technologies which can be used to manage discolouration of vital and non-vital teeth, with emphasis upon their strengths and limitations. It draws upon laboratory and clinical research conducted at The University of Queensland School of Dentistry in bleaching technologies.
